Ever since the New York Times fired opinion editor James Bennet for daring to publish an op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton supporting the use of military force to quell urban riots, the handwriting has been on the wall for his former colleague, Bari Weiss. Ms. Weiss is best described as a centrist, a liberal of the old school, who believes in such antique notions as free speech and the search for the truth through weighing a wide range of evidence and opinion.
She has announced her exit from the formerly gray, now blue lady, with a must-read public letter of resignation, addressed to publisher A.G. Sulzberger and posted on her website.
