Bari Weiss, Why are you shocked?

Dear Ms. Weiss,

You used to work for the New York Times (NYT) and recently quit after seeing the insidious antisemitism that is allowed to grow like fungus over there. Now you recently wrote a good article titled:

Stop Being Shocked - American Liberalism Is In Danger

I am not in the least shocked with Leftist/Liberal institutional antisemitism. They have a long record of hating Jews and attacking Israel. These institutions include the Democratic Party, the Mainstream Media (including the NYT), our educational system and others. The difference between you and I is that I have never been sucked in to believe their arrogant paradigms. Before I would have ever even applied to work at the NYT I would have researched their historical record on Israel and other Jewish matters. After doing that, I would have surely ran the other way. The NYT in particular had a hand in helping to forget about Jews being slaughtered and gassed in places like Auschwitz during the war. And for all these years since then, they have almost always sided against Israel and the Jews. 




So after a few years working at the infamous NYT you finally realized that the place is an antisemitic shit hole? Now you are telling us not to be shocked?

Perhaps you should remove your blinders alltogether and realize that the man you hate (President Trump) is your friend. He is the Jews best friend in the US right now and has been his entire life (this you too can and should research). 

I’m thrilled that you finally realized exactly who you were working for  and more thrilled that you are speaking out against them and against the big powerful progressive machine. But you still seem to be sitting on the fence. Why? You still have a Leftist style ‘hate’ for President Trump. Perhaps you have swallowed so much of the disinformation, lies and garbage being spoken and written by organizations like your previous employer that you are not even aware of it. 

As a journalist who’s now finally free of the tangled web of the NYT, I urge you to do what you do best and independently identify who the real Donald Trump is, based on his policies and actions. Please try to ignore his many mispoken words or words taken out of context. He is a man of action after all and has a great resume as President to prove it. Unlike you and perhaps myself, he is not the best communicator. He as much said so in his previous debate. But like you and perhaps me has courage. But he has it in spades! He also has an excellent instinct to do what is right, at the right time. I sure hope that this post reaches you in good time!

Best Regards,

Hi Doc,

Thanks for the interesting background. Perhaps it would make a fitting eulogy for the NYT when the time comes (hopefully sooner than later). Poor, confused Bari.

Sorry, I wanted to edit my comment because of a few inaccuracies but it deleted. It is safe to say that the Times has a horrible history of censuring the on-going realities regarding The Holocaust which may well have pushed the Allied forces to take different steps toward ending WW2, perhaps sooner. "Buried by the Times" or "Abandonment of the Jews" were two works that specifically outlined this tragedy. Today, like the vast majority of media, the Times is proving itself to be another leftist rag that has given up any morally grounded logic toward journalistic integrity with their censorship of Conservative, or Republican, stories. The intentionally distorting of narrative - like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi do regularly - to the current email scandal involving Joe and Hunter Biden for example.
But there was a moment, however brief, that the Times became a leading light in exposing Communist sedition within and behind the Federal Government when former Communist Whittaker Chambers was employed as editor. His book "Witness" is a fabulous biography outlining his life and experience with The Times that exposed numerous Communists, many of whom he had met while a communist 'youth' himself had entered into and rose to very high levels within the Federal Government.
Because of Chambers employment and backing by the Times an immense spy ring was exposed. Working with former Communist Walter Krivitsky and Assistant Secretary of State Adolf A. Berle they exposed high level Soviets employed within the Federal Government: Alger Hiss, his brother Donald Hiss, and Laurence Duggan, who were all respected, mid-level officials in the State Department, and Lauchlin Currie, a special assistant to Franklin Roosevelt and Vincent Reno.
If I'm not mistaken, it was Chambers expose that sparked HUAC and Sen. Joe McCarthy to get to work exposing and holding more Communist traitors accountable: Alger Hiss and Owen Lattimore to name a few. "Blacklisted by History" is a fabulous read and extension to Chamber's book "Witness".
Such a shame that what you've written about ol-Bari is true.... Kudos Mr. Kushner... and apologies for having to write a second blurb...
