Where would anyone get the idea that a columnist shouldn't criticize other writers at a paper? Everyone who works there is supposed to have the same ideas about everything?

- belval 6y agoOf course! Just like the graduate school always block papers that criticise pre-existing work. /s
- marcusverus 6y agoOne writer wrote the 1619 project, which was publicly called out for lying about American history to advance a racially divisive narrative in times of racial sensitivity. They had to issue corrections, and followed up recently with a round of unacknowledged stealth edits. That was fine. These folks didn't criticize the writer whose agenda piece embarrassed the paper. But they criticize a writer for criticizing that article? How can a guild that makes this kind of bizarre decisions, which are clearly agenda-drive and divorced from any commitment to objective truth, be trusted with the newspaper of record?
