Conservative Pundits once again showed how principled they are on the topic of Free Speech after they came out in defense of the New York Times not firing Sarah Jeong.
I don’t like firing people over old tweets, but the NYT’s Sarah Jeong standard will definitely not apply to conservatives

Good for The New York Times. This will blow over, but it does indeed demonstrate that there is a massive double standard on such hirings in the media, and in media coverage. https://t.co/j8yoSWNCOa

She most certainly should not be fired. The New York Times knew what they were buying, and they should stick with her. https://t.co/Il5nLa2V6y

I don’t even want her fired, but this is just a terrible, terrible excuse.

1. I think these tweets are actually consistent with the ethos of many employees at the Times.
2. LOL at the outrage over hiring thoughtful conservatives.
3. The Times is free to hire who it wants, and we’re free to note that outright racism is welcome within its walls. https://t.co/tX4fWsktDL
