New @NBCNews: New York Times editor walks back statement on racial slurs https://t.co/Fh0TlgkBSl Few more details in here from scoop this AM. Also @katiekings tells me it was her call, in consultation with Sulzberger, to spike Bret Stephens column. — PolitiTweet.org

*one point of clarification: When I say Stephens sent email to colleagues — he didn’t send it wide; he sent it to small handful of people. He did not expect it to become public. — PolitiTweet.org

Dylan Byers @DylanByers

So it appears that NYT leadership actually agrees with the thrust of Bret Stephens column. Why didn’t they run it? Maybe they didn’t want him addressing something in print that they were getting ready to walk back. Waiting on NYT statement. — PolitiTweet.org

Stephens took issue with the fact that NYT Exec Editor Dean Baquet said "We do not tolerate racist language regardless of intent.” "Do any of us want to live in a world, or work in a field, where intent is categorically ruled out as a mitigating factor?” BS asks. "I hope not." — PolitiTweet.org
