    Hahahahahha

    Random blurbs by an 'Audience Strategy Editor' (wtf does that mean) = NYT going down

    Hahahhahahhahahah

    You Cons are hilarious, i will give you that.

    PS: I looked up his job title

    "The editor will help set strategy and manage execution of audience development across the video desk. "

    So a video editor is a NYTimes editor and his personal opinions will bring down NYT.

    I can't stop laughing.

    I think this guy is going to be out of a job shortly based on the video. The New York Times will quickly fire him for violating their written Ethical Standards.

    Still, doesn't change the fact that it goes on at the Times.

    Who cares? The guy is a glorified video editor, nothing to do with the news department, seems like the guy was trying to get laid or something and got braggy.

    Oh no, some random low level employee made insensitive vulgar comments

    That's unacceptable!

    But the same is OK if that random employee is the President and leader of the Conservative moral values party - then he can be as vulgar and insensitive as he wants.

    I agree that is what probably happened. The bottom line is that I believe he will shortly be unemployed.

    It does reflect badly on the hiring standards at the NY Times. I expect the Times will come out and say that this is just a "one bad hire situation that has been remedied".... that is probably when Veritas comes out with Part 2 showing several more Times employees demonstrating similar behavior.

    You see, you would have a point if Trump wasn't your leader who has said worse things than this employee.
    I mean, what moral authority do you have to talk about hiring standards when an absolute vulgarian leads your party.

    I am not a Trump fan. That should be pretty obvious by now.

    However I approach news and policy in a balanced perspective from all sources. The behavior this employee displayed while working for a news outlet is both disturbing and grounds for immediate termination. As the self-proclaimed "premier" news outlet in America, the NY Times should have stringent hiring standards yet they have failed over and over again.

    So the personal opinions of some random low level employee reflects on the NYT as a news organization as reported by a criminal sexual harasser who is being funded by Trump who is actually worse than Okeefe.

    The problem is of credibility, for you guys to say NYT should have stringent standards for menial low level jobs, where were these standards when Trump was voted in by 60 million right wingers for the highest job in the country?
