Rightwing Press: Bret Stephens at NY Times (none / 1)

Spiked New York Times column on reporter's exit published by New York Post | The Guardian |
Bret Stephens piece criticizing newspaper's handling of Donald McNeil departure over racist language was pulled by senior bosses.
The high-profile science and health reporter Donald McNeil Jr resigned from the paper earlier this month following disclosures about his use of racist language on a company-sponsored trip to Peru with high school students in 2019. He apologised for offending his colleagues and hurting the reputation of his former employer.
At the time of his resignation, the executive editor, Dean Baquet, said: "We do not tolerate racist language regardless of intent."
On Thursday, columnist Bret Stephens told colleagues that a column he had written that criticised Baquet's statement had been spiked by the paper's publisher AG Sulzberger, NBC reported.

Chuck Hagel, Knifed in the Back by the Lobby | Tikun Olam - Dec. 28, 2012 |
Many were whispering that Chuck Hagel's chances of becoming secretary of defense had died, what does it matter whether it's the Israel lobby or the Jewish lobby? When you get a knife in the back, it doesn't matter who's putting the shiv into you. In Chuck Hagel's case, he's getting stabbed in the back by Aipac and its true believers. It's an unsightly, unsavory bunch including Likudists like Jennifer Rubin, Brett Stephens, Bill Kristol, Eli Lake, and Jewish apparatchiks like Abe Foxman.
