Under attack by transgender radicals from inside and outside the paper, top editors of The New York Times face a problem so difficult, I feel sorry for them. Well, almost.
The hesitation is warranted because the editors have only themselves to blame. After abandoning standards of fairness to push a crazy woke agenda, they are suddenly discovering that appeasing the far left is impossible.
The crash course in common sense comes with the lesson that the more you give the radicals, the more they want. And they don’t ask, they demand and make threats.

So what. For so long the Times has perverted the very notion of reporting the news, and has done it so thoroughly, that its behavior might as well lose it the last group who read the rag altogether. May it die an ignoble death and bankrupt the Sulzberger family with its passing so completely that no one will even remember the names.

FTA: “Susan DeCarava said no black employee, including 1619 Project guru Nikole Hannah-Jones, ever received the highest possible rating from managers."
Perhaps because they've never EARNED it. When people have been given passes all their life, earning something is anathema to them! Afffirmative Action bites em in the ass sometimes!
Wouldn't it be delicious to watch the NYT evaporate into dust? or has it already done so?

"Given the Times’ prominence, if the editors fail to defend independent journalism,,,,,,"
Too late.

It's happening across the board. Hollywood, academia, big medicine, the book publishing industry, fast food, pro sports, Disney... all are feeling the loss of interest and revenue caused by catering to three percent of the population while insulting and ignoring the 97% that used to support them and keep them afloat. F them all and FJB for allowing them to do it legally.

A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged. The NYT has been mugged - - by their own. I cannot feel sorry for them because they deliberately lie so easily, but I do feel a slight frisson at watching this happen. Seeing as how it's the NYT, though, I cannot see any other resolution than they cave to the woke mob.

5, you're right they will utterly cave, but the owners do have a choice.
The owners have chosen this path. They could fire all these incompetent useless knuckleheads and replace them with new people (and keep replacing) until they get a news room of semi-intelligent people who aren't wearing a skirt over their penis at work.
But they won't.
It takes time for large established companies and organizations to fall apart but there is nothing magical about the NYT such that they don't have to sell enough papers/web hits to sell ads to keep the lights on, just like everyone else.

When everyone is a victim, there is competition for top victim status.

Perhaps the NY Times 'journalists' should wear z-sized prosthetic breasts to appease the transgender movement.

So the Lyin' Slymes is finding out that the Sex Perverts demand absolute compliance to THEIR perversions.
For years, my safe assumption has been that anything that originated at the Lyin' Slymes is just that.... a Lie.
If the whole organization would cease to exist starting at midnight tonight, America would be a better place starting tomorrow.

The Knotseez at the publication, New York Cesspool, are wondering what to do.

Proving once again that you can never be far left enough to satisfy the far left.

Their demands include "that the Times hire four transgender writers within three months." Fine. Put all of the most far left NYT writers in a room and tell them to decide which four of them will be fired to make room for the new transsexual writers that will be hired.
