He was the editor who brought Bret Stephens on board. Stephens is notorious for throwing hissyfits about and threatening to have fired Times staff members who criticise his “why can’t we meet the fascists and racists halfway?” columns. Bennet enabled this behaviour. I hope Stephens is next to leave now that his protector is gone (even better if Bari Weiss goes with him; too much to hope that Cardinal Douthat and Bobo would resign, but I can dream).
