NY Times publisher fires back at ex-editor who says paper 'lost its way': That's a 'false narrative'
Fox News
New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger slammed the "false narrative" he alleged was made by ex-opinion editor James Bennet, who wrote a scathing piece on how the paper "lost its way."
Bennet, now a columnist for The Economist, penned a lengthy essay outlining how liberal groupthink had taken over the newsroom at The Times, a characterization Sulzberger forcefully rejected.

"James Bennet and I have always agreed on the importance of independent journalism, the challenges it faces in today's polarized world, and the mission of The Times to pursue independence even when the path of less resistance might be to give into partisan passions. But I could not disagree more strongly with the false narrative he has constructed about The Times," Sulzberger said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
