The NYT just hired a full blown racist to their editorial board so I think it's a very apt comparison.

Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

This is directly related to the article. The NYT is literally doing a 180 of what they were saying two days ago.

Also, you're not a mod so I don't see why you're trolling through a day old post to finger wag at people who don't agree with your politics.

Everybody feels their tangents are crucially related to the stories they add them to. On tech threads where we're all just riffing on stuff, that's fine. But all you had to say was that Sarah Jeong is "a full blown racist". Your comment is a textbook example of why we have the guideline.

I'm sorry I don't keep up-to-the-minute with your comments.

Do you realize we're in a thread (that I didn't start) discussing the NYT's credibility on reporting this issue? How about you reply to the content of my comment instead of trying to take it out of context and spamming the thread?

No, they didn't. The people that think Sarah Jeong is a racist are the kind of people that take Alex Jones seriously.

If Sarah Jeong is not a racist, which I will concede, than she is an immature idiot mouthing off in public.

Which tarnishes the reputation of her employer.

Alex Jones is also an immature idiot. But he owns his show.
