When I first heard about you was over the Tom Cotton debacle at the NYT. You were not afraid to tell the truth. That is all I ask for in any journalist, film critic, artist, comedian, scientist. To not be so afraid of telling the truth that you go along with groupthink/hysteria. When we talk about the "fourth turning" - Neil Howe and William Strauss' generational theory, there are "alpha voices" that begin to lead once we live through the worst of it (we're in the thick of it now). You are absolutely one of those. You are an alpha voice, a natural leader - fearless, inquisitive, humble, honest. Thank you.
By the Tom Cotton standard, a huge chunk of NYT employees should have been fired. For cause.
Sen. Cotton's op-ed was bad, but publishing it was the right call. The words of a US Senator with little editing is completely appropriate to publish. We want to know what our political leaders are actually thinking, and not some varnished version of it. Cotton did that. And an NYT employee lost his job over it. That was the travesty.

By “bad” you mean you didn’t agree with it?
By “bad” you mean you disagree with it? Or you thought it was poorly written or reasoned?
