Former NYT reporter and wife of Bari Weiss says paper encouraged ‘insane’ cancel culture, called ex-editor a ‘f—ing Nazi’

Nellie Bowles landed what she thought was her dream job as a reporter for The New York Times in 2017, but when the progressive “movement,” as she described it, took over the newsroom, a cold reality set in. 

Bowles, once a staunch progressive and a proud member of the so-called “movement,” is the author of the new book “Morning After the Revolution,” which documents how the leftist ideology that has gained so much momentum in recent years hasn’t actually worked in practice.

And that includes inside the Times. 

Bowles was working at the Times during the fallout of the now-infamous Sen. Tom Cotton op-ed that sparked an open revolt among staffers in June 2020, many of them taking to social media and posting the phrase “Running this puts Black @nytimes staff in danger.”

“I wasn’t going to tweet the tweet we all had to tweet that day, and that was really the final moment for me in the movement within the paper,” Bowles told Fox News Digital in an interview. “Because once people saw that I wasn’t going to tweet the tweet, that to them was picking a side. And we all had to raise our voices together and try to get the editors fired… We all had to shout together to get everyone who touched that thing fired. And I just wasn’t willing to do that.”

Cotton’s op-ed, titled “Send in the Troops,” argued in favor of then-President Trump deploying the military to quell the George Floyd riots that wreaked havoc in cities across the country.
