bari weiss made mistakes. she is making serious charges, saying there's a point of intoll jens where pushing op-eds of a different viewpoint can hurt an editor's career. ray: she says in effect that the people who run the place have given over their oversight to twitter as a way of describing how a mob mentality makes decisions for the paper. even if just a portion of what she says in her letter is true, they better have some really serious soul-searching going on there at the times. if you have people trashing each other by name in a forum where management is a participant in that forum and sees the posts, something is definitely not in good control in the editorial section there and, look, the new york times is an important journalistic institution and it needs to be healthy. it's a good thing if it's healthy and well-run, a good thing for everybody. and i hope they get control of their problems if those problems exist in the way that bari weiss describes them. howard: yeah. well, acting editorial page edito

i respect bari weiss a lot. but very little definition is she a conservative. she's a conservative on a handful of issues, but by the definition of, i think, most people in this country and most people watching this program, they would consider her to be a centrist or even a liberal on most issues. she is someone who, in other words, should be perfectly acceptable to work at "the new york times." the fact is that they will brook no disagreement on any significant subject, and the fact that she would bring in other competing voices in the wake of 20 2016 to try and increase the ds something here coburg is fun and accessible. she's leaving right now, she's making the choice to leave, but it was clear as soon as james bennett had to resign in the wake of the tom cotton op-ed fiasco, he was not long for the times. they would find a way to get rid of her. the invocation of her letter is she is going to perhaps file suit, considering it's a hostile work environment. i hope we all get to see what they were all saying about her and these channels without any kind of pu

consider the case of bari weiss. accuses the times of being controlled by the mob. "twitter is not on the masthead of "the new york times" but twitter has become its ultimate editor" an obvious reference to the left-wing agitators who dominic the website. she continued. a new consensus has emerged in the press but perhaps especially at this paper, the truth is in a process of collecting discovery but in oxo and orthodoxy be already known to an enlightened few whose job it is to inform everybodyli else. that's from her. the letter goes on. she explained that intellectual curiosity and risk-taking have become liabilities at "the new york times" which is why the paper refuses to run stories the challenge the emerging woke orthodoxy. freethinkers to the extent they exist at the paper at too afraid to their opinions. they remain quiet, afraid of the backlash and bullying that an independent thought might provoke.pr voice isn't some sort of trump-loving conservative with controversial views. she's an urban moderate who openly sobbed at her desk when trump was elected. yes

bari weiss doubling down on the times as relationship with twitter writing, quote, twitter is not on the masthead of the new york times but twitter has become its ultimate editor. senior policy analyst for the independent women's forum joined us to talk about bari weiss's resignation. >> i hope this is a wake-up call for editors inside the new york times. i have no hope anything will change. it is run by editors who have an agenda and that agenda does not include viewpoint diversity. >> reporter: eileen murphy responding to bari weiss's letter, quote, we are committed to fostering an environment of honest, searching and empathetic dialogue between colleagues where mutual respect is required of all. rob: a letter worth reading, bill marr tweeted out. a lot of moderate liberals can't believe what is happening at the new york times. jillian: the missouri couple who pointed guns at protesters fear they may soon be indicted. rob: congressman jody high's wrote a letter to william barr defending their second amendment rights, he joined us next. no matter where you live, where you live has n

bari weiss accused them of bullying her calling her a nazi and racist. our next guest says the media's hardship to the left is to blame. thank you for being here, appreciate having you on. how are you? >> i'm great. i've been doing this more often. >> we will see you back here tomorrow. i want to get your opinion on this. a gallup annual poll shows dropping trust in media 72% in 1976, 199753%, down to 32% in 2016 but the most recent was 2019 and it went up to 41%. what do you make of that? >> amazing how it breaks down among party lines. the first poll you talked about 1976, 3 in 4 americans trust the media before social media and a lot of things changed things including opinion being injected into reporting and anchors sharing their feelings, walter cronkite didn't do that, peter jennings and so on so now you look at the numbers today, nearly 7 in 10 democrats trust the media. wise that? because they like what they are hearing. only 15% of republicans don't trust the media. in this case it is a matter of you know what you are getting in terms of one par

bari says a new consensus emerged in the press, perhaps especially at this paper, that truth isn't a process of collective discovery but orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else. talking down to your audience and explaining instead of discovering things for them, you're explaining to them. no, handful of us know right from wrong and there is no other way to go about this job. >> right. i want to be clear that although conservatives including myself are very critical of "the new york times" and other mainstream news publications we are not advocating to cancel these publications. we want to challenge them to be better, to be more inclusive, of different opinions including my own. unfortunately with bari weiss's resignation that is one less editor to consider a column from any sort of centrist or conservative. so this does have lasting implications and i think it is just one of many examples we can point to in the cancel culture where you know, these illiberal twitter mobs are dictating the type of conversations we can have as a nation. charles

is what people like bari weiss pointing to? >> yes, i think there is a growing opposition of political views. where we get it wrong in this conversation is looking at mostly mainstream and progressive outlets. places like "the new york times," "the washington post," cnn, host a really wide variety of prerspectives. that's ain't day that goes by where you can't find perspectives on those websites. you can't say the same thing about fox news, about breitbart, websites like townhall.com. it's conservative news outlets as well as conservative institutions like religious colleges where you're lacking diversity of opinion. what i see happening here is pointing to something that is a frustrating problem, but by honing in on, quote/unquote, liberal outlets, i think you really miss the fuller story. and the ways in which i think the right is working the lefts on this one. >> what about what some on the right say about the dynamic in -- let's take what andrew sullivan's critique or other critiques, which is if you say the wrong thing abo

bari weiss, whose sin was not being a lockstep liberal, has really delivered a stinging indictment of the out-of-control liberal can do on my culture of the paper which has already forced out their editorial page editor. for her to talk about constantly being bullied, called the nazi, a racist, bigot, a liar, by her own colleagues, is far more troubling than anything any outside credit could write. >> harris: i want to get this in. it is bari weiss also right in, "twitter is not on the masthead of "the new york times," but twitter has become its ultimate editor." howie? >> that may be true for a lot of news organizations that are basically afraid of being denounced on social media for not having the right opinions. remember, this is an opinion section we talking about. for me, it's bigger than just bari weiss, although she was very personal in that letter to the publisher, saying he praised her privately for her courage but allowed what she considered a hostile workplace environment to flourish. when she talks about self-censorship in the opinion pages, she said, "why edit something c

"new york times" opinion section editor bari weiss is leaving and she is not going quietly. fox news media analyst howie kurtz shows us tonight. good evening. >> good evening. in a scathing resignation letter, bari weiss, in opinion editor says she's been constantly bullied by her own colleagues. they called me a racist, seven she says publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on twitter but no fear that it would be met with appropriate action, they never are for this environment yields what she calls self-censorship. we can measure ourselves of job security and clicks by publishing our 4,000 op-ed arguing that donald trump is a unique danger to the country on the world the departure gets personal when she complains in the note that he and other executives did nothing while privately praising her as courageous and not some friendly colleagues see a new mccarthyism there. a controversial writer and self-described centrist who has made some errors but also complained about being pilloried by the social media mob. >> saying that i am offended as a way of making the someone radioa

bari weiss is someone, she has thousands of twitter followers herself. she has been in there on twitter, throwing some punches herself at people she disagrees with. i'm not saying she is a bully, but if you are going to dish it out, you've got to be ready to take it. i learned that a long time ago. >> harris: actually, legally, we don't have to be ready to take harassment on the job. that's already established. jill abramson, i've got illegal. thank you for the discussion. >> she can sue. thank you. >> harris: don't call him an underdog. president trump rejected that label, saying the polls are missing the enthusiasm of his supporters. just like four years ago. he is speaking at the white house. we'll bring you back. ♪ meowners from newday usa. interest rates have dropped to record lows. newday usa makes it so easy to refinance that one call can save you $3000 a year. newday's va streamline refi lets you refinance without having to verify your income, without getting your home appraised and without spending one dollar out of pocket to get it done. it i

bari weiss says "the times" leadership is caving to a toxic intolerant left-wing culture. liberals who are not liberal at all. they censor and attack those with differences of opinion. that is what an op-ed page is supposed to be about. bari weiss said management stood by, did not defend her, effectively condoned bullying, harrassment not just of her but work colleagues. now there is this, has "new york times" exposed itself to potential lawsuit for allowing a hostile work environment, a hostile work environment against moderates an send tivities. christopher bedford what do you think. has claims of hostile work environment, violation of civil rights act of 1964. what do you think? >> explicit, exactly, liz. in her piece worth reading for certain, she said explicitly, these are the problems she was facing. work place harrassment. these are legal problems for "the new york times" if she would decide to bring a lawsuit. my reading of the piece similar to yours, she might bring a lawsuit and she might have similar support in this matter. "new york times" is this a dangerous p

but i want to touch on bari weiss' letter. i thought she was right in everything she said. however, the reasons for quitting the times are kind of like quitting the panel of the view because you found out it was all women. i mean, how could you be surprised by "the new york times" business model? it's pretty obvious that they are not providing actual news anymore, they are providing validation for the customer base and i don't even think they hide that anymore and that is to your point, juan, why they make a lot of money. it's upper-class white liberals with a lot of money and they feel less guilty about the fact that they are white and rich. it's one big virtually signal that is becoming less and less readable. but she did make a good point about how the media takes its cue from twitter, but twitter takes its cue from medial people on twitter. so it's a recursive machine that feeds itself. >> juan: that's interesting. jesse, i wanted to ask you if you think this is more of our generational battle than anything. you get more women, more minorities, more gay people and more

let's go live now to writer commentator and long time follower of the situation in yemen the bari atwan good to see you abdel. as you have just heard there liz truss . surmise what she's saying that there's not a clear risk that saudi weapons are being used in violation of humanitarian law do you think that she really believes that. i don't believe she believes that because this is absolutely not true you know i can actually all financing. about a $100000.00 of those cmin is most of them children and women were by the strike so what happened last sunday and what happens every day now that the saudi aircraft that bombing that yemeni the last one was on with actually when 7 people were killed and we we have seen the picture and the picture and then the headline that that's proof so why united kingdom actually still sending these with those 2 so they don't understand speciously that the british foreign minister stopped to issue some sort of. a yearly report saying that all condemning that kind of thing is which actually bailing them out i am the saudi arabian government. so i think this is

steve: bary goes on to right among other things. i was always thought that journalists were taught to write the first rough draft of history. i'm not reading that quote right now. history one more femoral thing to fit the narrative. jed? jedediah: i will pick up that quote that was up now bullying. my own for rays into wrong thing subject by colleagues who disagree with my views. they have called me nazi and racist. i have learned to brush off comments how i'm writing about the jews again. several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me. this is not uncommon what's happening here. often sometimes have you people hired by a newspaper, a magazine, a network, a television show to bring a differing view or bring in others that have a differing view. you get there and the problem arisest when you begin to change hearts and minds. when you begin to bring people in who say wait, hold on a second i hadn't thought about it that way or opinion writers who write things that make people think. that becomes a huge problem for places like the

"bari weiss has made a career of claiming to be persecuted. it's how she got hired by "the new york times" and the first place, so i don't believe a single thing she says." she has to know, despite writing a very long detailed letter, they're going to be those who think it's sour grapes. you know, and she just couldn't take the heat, what do you say? >> look, i think that -- her positions on things have been well known for a long time. the fact that she's waited this long to actually come out and make these points i think tells you that she's no violen violete idea that this is all just fantasy just doesn't fit with the facts when you see other writers and other publications and as you've been documenting, people in other institutions increasingly just can't get away with saying things that the mob doesn't approve of. that is completely antithetical to everything america stands for. we can put up with it. >> shannon: it's such a strange moment in time, this moment in history that we will look back on but there is great upheaval and some people

what's your reaction to bari weiss' letter and her decision to go? >> i think she is the stuff that courage is made of. i think she understands that we are at a crossroads here in america and in other civilized western countries print this is about western civilization, and i think we are transitioning from being an open society to becoming a close society and we are asking what defines an open society, it is freedom. what defines a close society, it is fear. and it looks like "the new york times" opinion pages are adopting fear. >> martha: one of the other things that she says is that -- she calls at the twitter masthead. and twitter has become the ultimate editor. is a lot of truth to that, i think. social media is doing and it's really quite harmful. we are being led down a path toe twitter, but there's also a a lack of leadership. you read her letter, you're going to see all the bullying and the terrorizing that goes on and that good people are afraid to stand up and say anything, but the leaders, the people who are supposed to discipline, what i

elizabeth: right at same time the opinion editor bari weiss quit saying there is hard left intolerant culture censoring moderates and centrists. the times also hit with another problem. it has to do with ethics, ford. it is backtracking on a july 12th story that claimed anonymous 30-year-old guy who thought the covid-19 was a hoax, he was in san antonio. he died after going to a covid party. now the times updated his story it can't independently verify that story. san antonio health department says they can't verify it either. so, let's show the viewers, there is another question about ethics. "the times," ford, routinely changing its headlines after the fact but doesn't really inform the reader what it is doing about corrections or updates. we've been tracking this. show the viewer what we found. ford, your reaction to this? >> i think that we need to listen to bari weiss and what she is talking about "the new york times" wanting to pacify the far left and vocal minority on social media when it comes to its editorial page. unfortunately not just the editorial page.
