EPISODE 08: MEGHAN DAUM
New York Times editor Bari Weiss quits and drops a brutal letter describing the dysfunctional 'woke-athon' the paper has become. We’ll deep-dive into what she wrote and also speak to another target of editorial purity—the brilliant writer Meghan Daum. So painful was the New Yorker review of her recent book that she was relieved her parents weren’t alive to see it. That her former employer and colleagues in New York were attacking her for taking on groupthink and woke culture wasn’t a surprise—the nastiness was expected, but the velocity was not. She was uplifted to discover that outside the world of Liberal elites, her work was lauded by smart people who’ve had enough.
