The New York Times needs to beef up its employee background checks.
Justin Caruso, of The Daily Caller, scoured the internet and found several vitriolic social media posts by employees of the newspaper of record trashing our military and spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
Times journalist Jugal Patel may be the most egregious offender. In since-deleted tweets (but still available here and here) Patel tweeted “F**k the military.” Three months later, the supposedly neutral journalist tweeted “How exactly does the military directly defend whatever freedoms I have?”
NYT reporter, Fahim Abed, embedded in Afghanistan, used his official Twitter account on no less than two separate occasions (archive link here and here) to allege without a shred of evidence that the head of ISIS trained with Israel’s Mossad (national intelligence agency).
The Times issued a stringent social media policy last year. According to its guidelines “In social media posts, our journalists must not express partisan opinions, promote political views, endorse candidates, make offensive comments or do anything else that undercuts The Times’s journalistic reputation.”
