New York Times comes under more fire for discredited 'Caliphate' podcast

The scandal over the New York Times’ botched “Caliphate” podcast widened Tuesday when dozens of public radio stations accused the Gray Lady of multiple “lapses in judgment” while trying to stem the controversy.

The letter also faulted a "lack of transparency" by the Times’ Audio Division for "not disclosing the personal relationship between Barbaro and Lisa Tobin, [executive producer] of Caliphate, when you issued the 30-minute corrective interview that he hosted." In addition, the letter criticized the Times’ for reassigning star terrorism reporter Rukmini Callimachi over the Caliphate debacle "while giving greater visibility to her white male counterpart Andy Mills," who’s been accused of inappropriate behavior toward women while working earlier at New York public radio station WNYC.
