Then there’s today’s opinion piece. Which is a shining reminder that Bret has never taken the high road.
(Also a good introduction to why harassers get away with it and why women don’t report, despite assurances that retaliation won’t happen. Because it does, anyway).
I’d say that I’m not remotely shocked; but honestly Bret is achieving levels of pure smarm that are astounding even by the standards of mediocre pundits inexplicably granted positions of influence.
Hypocrisy and projection are all in a day’s work; but it’s still somewhat breathtaking to watch a pro in action.
The biggest problem here is that a lot of people a) really do trust the NYTimes, and they aren’t online where the kerfuffle is happening. They don’t know how badly thr whole organisation’s credibility is shot.
