Media moguls are resigning at a head-spinning rate, an irrational reaction that’s setting impossible standards and ceding immense power to an unreasonable group of fringe ideologues. This last week has been ridiculous. It may ultimately prove to be a turning point in our culture, one that will cause much further strife.
Top editors are rapidly resigning over allegations of racial insensitivity—most of which are correctable or forgivable if they’re accurate—legitimizing the radical left’s inane and counterproductive policing of our politics and culture. And it’s their own fault. They’ve used elite media platforms to embolden these irrational actors for years. They are failing to meet the standards they’ve promoted. The power transfer is now officially complete. That’s more than a little unnerving.

Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) put black Times staffers “in danger.†The paper blamed him for “a significant breakdown†in its “editing process.†There was nothing dangerous about the op-ed. It calmly articulated an opinion held by the majority of the country. Jim Dao, deputy editorial page editor at the Times, was reassigned following the incident.
