Rufo is posting dozens of tweets of the NPR CEO, the NYT makes it a story, and Rufo claims victory. They are not falling for his game, they are co-producing it
The NYT lesson from Claudine Gay fallout is that continuing to legitimate the views of Chris Rufo about who is allowed to lead institutions is good actually.
Chris Rufo tweeting something is not actually news until the Times & co. it make it news. They keep running this play for him.
Although you're more likely to get a response due to your prominence than I am when I wrote to the author of the WaPo article that printed personally identifying information about potential Trump jurors, I pretty much expect what I've gotten so far, which is crickets.
We may all find out how hollowed out and then bought out many institutions are that we used to rely on to convey reality. The owners of the NYT may in fact insist that Rufo and his opinions be published. Just like Sinclair and how much of the media has been captured by billionaires and their agenda.
