NY Times praises ‘cancel culture’ but skips its own racist history: Goodwin

By Thomas A. Smith

Yet the Times has never applied to its own history the standards it uses to demonize others. If it did, reporters there would learn that the Ochs-Sulzberger family that has owned and run the paper for 125 years has a complicated legacy of its own.

That legacy includes Confederates in the closet men and at least one woman who supported the South and slavery during the Civil War. In fact, Times patriarch Adolph S. Ochs contributed money to the very Stone Mountain project and other Confederate memorials the Times now finds so objectionable.
