WaPo belatedly admits that the NYT wronged James Bennet over that Tom Cotton op-ed
An astute conservative can predict with formulaic accuracy that broadly touted stories circulating on the Right will eventually emerge on the Left. Take the notion that the coronavirus emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology as a result of highly risky gain-of-function research.
Flash back to 2020, and again, recall another reason Cotton made major headlines that summer. Seeing entire cities burnt to the ground as the rest of the law-abiding citizenry respected coronavirus lockdowns, the Arkansan took to the New York Times opinion page to make a modest proposal: that in accordance with the Insurrection Act, military forces ought to be authorized to back up local law enforcement attempting to keep the peace in cities like New York City and St. Louis.
Note that the New York Times's opinion page had previously published the musings of the Taliban, Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, and Hamas. In fact, just a month after the Cotton fracas, it published coronavirus propaganda by an employee of the Chinese Communist Party-controlled Peking University
Our criticism of the Twitter outburst comes 875 days too late. Although the hollowness of the internal uproar against Bennet was immediately apparent, we responded with an evenhanded critique of the Times’s flip-flop, not the unapologetic defense of journalism that the situation required. Our posture was one of cowardice and midcareer risk management. With that, we pile one more regret onto a controversy littered with them.
