So I stuck it out a bit longer until we were in the middle of a pandemic to make a truly radical move.<\/p>\n<p>July 24th was my last day at MSNBC. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to do next exactly but I simply couldn\u2019t stay there anymore. My colleagues are very smart people with good intentions. The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>You may not watch MSNBC but just know that this problem still affects you, too. All the commercial networks function the same \u2013 and no doubt that content seeps into your social media feed, one way or the other.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that I\u2019m more sensitive to the editorial process due to my background in public radio, where no decision I ever witnessed was predicated on how a topic or guest would \u201crate.\u201d The longer I was at MSNBC, the more I saw such choices \u2014 it\u2019s practically baked in to the editorial process \u2013 and those decisions affect news content every day. Likewise, it\u2019s taboo to discuss how the ratings scheme distorts content, or it\u2019s simply taken for granted, because everyone in the commercial broadcast news industry is doing the exact same thing.<\/p>\n<p>But behind closed doors, industry leaders will admit the damage that\u2019s being done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a cancer and there is no cure,\u201d a successful and insightful TV veteran said to me. \u201cBut if you could find a cure, it would change the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As it is, this cancer stokes national division, even in the middle of a civil rights crisis. The model blocks diversity of thought and content because the networks have incentive to amplify fringe voices and events, at the expense of others\u2026 all because it pumps up the ratings.<\/p>\n<p>This cancer risks human lives, even in the middle of a pandemic. The primary focus quickly became what Donald Trump was doing (poorly) to address the crisis, rather than the science itself. As new details have become available about antibodies, a vaccine, or how COVID actually spreads, producers still want to focus on the politics. Important facts or studies get buried.<\/p>\n<p>This cancer risks our democracy, even in the middle of a presidential election. Any discussion about the election usually focuses on Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, a repeat offense from 2016 (Trump smothers out all other coverage). Also important is to ensure citizens can vote by mail this year, but I\u2019ve watched that topic get ignored or \u201ckilled\u201d numerous times.<\/p>\n<p>Context and factual data are often considered too cumbersome for the audience. There may be some truth to that (our education system really should improve the critical thinking skills of Americans) \u2013 but another hard truth is that it is the job of journalists to teach and inform, which means they might need to figure out a better way to do that. They could contemplate more creative methods for captivating an audience. Just about anything would improve the current process, which can be pretty rudimentary (think basing today\u2019s content on whatever rated well yesterday, or look to see what\u2019s trending online today).<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally, the producers will choose to do a topic or story without regard for how they think it will rate, but that is the exception, not the rule. Due to the simple structure of the industry \u2013 the desire to charge more money for commercials, as well as the ratings bonuses that top-tier decision-makers earn \u2013 they always relapse into their old profitable programming habits.<\/p>\n<p>I understand that the journalistic process is largely subjective and any group of individuals may justify a different set of priorities on any given day. Therefore, it\u2019s particularly notable to me, for one, that nearly every rundown at the network basically is the same, hour after hour. And two, they use this subjective nature of the news to justify economically beneficial decisions. I\u2019ve even heard producers deny their role as journalists. A very capable senior producer once said: \u201cOur viewers don\u2019t really consider us the news. They come to us for comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, personally, I don\u2019t think the people need to change. I think the job itself needs to change. There is a better way to do this. I\u2019m not so cynical to think that we are absolutely doomed (though we are on that path). I know we can find a cure. If we can figure how to send a man to the moon, if Alex Trebek can defy the odds with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and if Harry Reid can actually overcome pancreatic cancer (he\u2019s now cancer free), then we can fix this, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I know James Baldwin wasn\u2019t thinking about MSNBC when he wrote that line in 1962, but those words spoke loudly to me in the summer of 2020. Unfortunately, many of the same ailments are still at stake today. Now maybe we can\u2019t really change the inherently broken structure of broadcast news, but I know for certain that it won\u2019t change unless we actually face it, in public, and at least try to change it.<\/p>\n<p>Through this pandemic and the surreal, alienating lockdown, I\u2019ve witnessed many people question their lives and what they\u2019re doing with their time on this planet. I reckon I\u2019m one of those people, looking for greater meaning and truth. As much as I love my life in New York City and really don\u2019t want to leave, I feel fortunate to be able to return to Virginia in the near term to reconnect with family, friends, and a community of independent journalists. I\u2019m both nervous and excited about this change. Thanks to COVID-19, I\u2019m learning to live with uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>And so very soon, I\u2019m going to be seeking you out, any one of you who also may sense that the news is fundamentally flawed and is frustrated by it. This effort will start informally but I hope to crystallize a plan for when better, safer days are upon us. On that front, feel free to reach out anytime if you would like to discuss any of this \u2013 whether in agreement or not. More than ever, I\u2019m craving a full and civil discourse.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time, thank you for reading. I wish you all well.<\/p>\n<p>Ariana<\/p>\n<p>##<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That was followed two days later with this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Follow up + a note about ideology<\/h1>\n<p>ARIANA N.

I\u2019m overwhelmed, surprised, and heartened by your reaction. Over the last couple of years, I was starting to think that people don\u2019t care about the news (inside the industry or out), but you do care and that gives me enormous hope that change can and will happen. And there is no way I can do this by myself, so I welcome the moral support.<\/p>\n<p>Second: I feel the need to say something about how Fox News reported my story yesterday. The reporter contacted me for an interview. To be honest, I wasn\u2019t inclined to do an interview with Fox for all the reasons I outlined in the piece (I don\u2019t know if I can trust them, because again, like MSNBC, their job is to rouse their audience). I hadn\u2019t responded yet when they posted their story anyway.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, Fox News inadvertently proved me right. My concern, clearly stated in the post, is with the entire industry because each outlet uses the same funding model. That includes Fox News, of course, but they couldn\u2019t help but to turn my statement into a divisive piece of clickbait. The headline skewed the intention of my piece and they removed almost all of the context in which I explain the systemic nature of the problem. That is unfortunate, but not surprising.<\/p>\n<p>I regret if my piece was presented as an attack on a single network, but that only gives me motivation to continue on this new path. It\u2019s just another example of the division I\u2019m trying to alleviate. My purpose isn\u2019t to drive people away from the industry, but to raise awareness (as a first step). We all deserve better and we can do better.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly on this point, I have to emphasize that my concerns are not ideological in nature. My concerns are economic. The flawed structure of the industry affects everyone. And that means <em>everyone<\/em> &#8211; red state, blue state, purple, whatever. My goal is to work to create a fair arena for discussion, debate, and reliable information. Thoughtful, independent voices should be promoted. I firmly believe that our democracy will not succeed otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Please keep sending your thoughts and reactions. There is so much more I have to share with you. I hope to have a plan very soon and I will let you know when that happens. You all are hungrier to address this problem than I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Also please note: I am in the middle my move so I\u2019m not yet able to respond to everyone but I will get to you. I apologize for the delay. It means a lot that you took the time to find me and to write so I will get back to you.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, all.<\/p>\n<p>Ariana<\/p>\n<p>##<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was 2 \u00bd years ago that Sharyl Attkisson did this TEDx talk posted to YouTube on February 13, 2018.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UQcCIzjz9_s\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Former President Barack Obama aptly described the issue of the serious divide between the left and right in mainstream media with this memorable quote.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IfYouWatchFoxNewsYouAreLivingOnDifferentPlanetThanIfListenNPRQuoteBarackHObamaMastheadManufacturedHomeProNews.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IfYouWatchFoxNewsYouAreLivingOnDifferentPlanetThanIfListenNPRQuoteBarackHObamaMastheadManufacturedHomeProNews.jpg\" alt=\"IfYouWatchFoxNewsYouAreLivingOnDifferentPlanetThanIfListenNPRQuoteBarackHObamaMastheadManufacturedHomeProNews\" width=\"602\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IfYouWatchFoxNewsYouAreLivingOnDifferentPlanetThanIfListenNPRQuoteBarackHObamaMastheadManufacturedHomeProNews.jpg 602w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IfYouWatchFoxNewsYouAreLivingOnDifferentPlanetThanIfListenNPRQuoteBarackHObamaMastheadManufacturedHomeProNews-575x305.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IfYouWatchFoxNewsYouAreLivingOnDifferentPlanetThanIfListenNPRQuoteBarackHObamaMastheadManufacturedHomeProNews-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve shared the analysis by Professor Wright that to get a better sense of the news, it is necessary to access reports from both the left and the right wing sides of mainstream media.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IfYoureOnlyWatchingCNN-OnlyGetHalfStoryOrIfOnlyWatchingFoxOnlyGetHalfStoryQuoteDrChrysalisWrightPhDPhotoPsychologistDirectorMediaUniversityCentralFL-MHProNews.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IfYoureOnlyWatchingCNN-OnlyGetHalfStoryOrIfOnlyWatchingFoxOnlyGetHalfStoryQuoteDrChrysalisWrightPhDPhotoPsychologistDirectorMediaUniversityCentralFL-MHProNews.png\" alt=\"IfYoureOnlyWatchingCNN-OnlyGetHalfStoryOrIfOnlyWatchingFoxOnlyGetHalfStoryQuoteDrChrysalisWrightPhDPhotoPsychologistDirectorMediaUniversityCentralFL-MHProNews\" width=\"600\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IfYoureOnlyWatchingCNN-OnlyGetHalfStoryOrIfOnlyWatchingFoxOnlyGetHalfStoryQuoteDrChrysalisWrightPhDPhotoPsychologistDirectorMediaUniversityCentralFL-MHProNews.png 600w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IfYoureOnlyWatchingCNN-OnlyGetHalfStoryOrIfOnlyWatchingFoxOnlyGetHalfStoryQuoteDrChrysalisWrightPhDPhotoPsychologistDirectorMediaUniversityCentralFL-MHProNews-575x367.png 575w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IfYoureOnlyWatchingCNN-OnlyGetHalfStoryOrIfOnlyWatchingFoxOnlyGetHalfStoryQuoteDrChrysalisWrightPhDPhotoPsychologistDirectorMediaUniversityCentralFL-MHProNews-150x96.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But more than that, there are times when media on both sides of the left-right agenda aisles get a story wrong.

I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home. The reason for this effort was clear: The paper\u2019s failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn\u2019t have a firm grasp of the country it covers. Dean Baquet and others have admitted as much on various occasions. The priority in Opinion was to help redress that critical shortcoming.<\/p>\n<p>I was honored to be part of that effort, led by James Bennet. I am proud of my work as a writer and as an editor. Among those I helped bring to our pages: the Venezuelan dissident Wuilly Arteaga; the Iranian chess champion Dorsa Derakhshani; and the Hong Kong Christian democrat Derek Lam. Also: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Masih Alinejad, Zaina Arafat, Elna Baker, Rachael Denhollander, Matti Friedman, Nick Gillespie, Heather Heying, Randall Kennedy, Julius Krein, Monica Lewinsky, Glenn Loury, Jesse Singal, Ali Soufan, Chloe Valdary, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Wesley Yang, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>But the lessons that ought to have followed the election\u2014lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society\u2014have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn\u2019t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.<\/p>\n<p>My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I\u2019m \u201cwriting about the Jews again.\u201d Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly \u201cinclusive\u201d one, while others post ax emojis next to my name. Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are.<\/p>\n<p>There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I\u2019m no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I do not understand how you have allowed this kind of behavior to go on inside your company in full view of the paper\u2019s entire staff and the public. And I certainly can\u2019t square how you and other Times leaders have stood by while simultaneously praising me in private for my courage. Showing up for work as a centrist at an American newspaper should not require bravery.<\/p>\n<p>Part of me wishes I could say that my experience was unique. But the truth is that intellectual curiosity\u2014let alone risk-taking\u2014is now a liability at The Times. Why edit something challenging to our readers, or write something bold only to go through the numbing process of making it ideologically kosher, when we can assure ourselves of job security (and clicks) by publishing our 4000th op-ed arguing that Donald Trump is a unique danger to the country and the world? And so self-censorship has become the norm.<\/p>\n<p>What rules that remain at The Times are applied with extreme selectivity. If a person\u2019s ideology is in keeping with the new orthodoxy, they and their work remain unscrutinized. Everyone else lives in fear of the digital thunderdome. Online venom is excused so long as it is directed at the proper targets.<\/p>\n<p>Op-eds that would have easily been published just two years ago would now get an editor or a writer in serious trouble, if not fired. If a piece is perceived as likely to inspire backlash internally or on social media, the editor or writer avoids pitching it. If she feels strongly enough to suggest it, she is quickly steered to safer ground. And if, every now and then, she succeeds in getting a piece published that does not explicitly promote progressive causes, it happens only after every line is carefully massaged, negotiated and caveated.<\/p>\n<p>It took the paper two days and two jobs to say that the Tom Cotton op-ed \u201cfell short of our standards.\u201d We attached an editor\u2019s note on a travel story about Jaffa shortly after it was published because it \u201cfailed to touch on important aspects of Jaffa\u2019s makeup and its history.\u201d But there is still none appended to Cheryl Strayed\u2019s fawning interview with the writer Alice Walker, a proud anti-Semite who believes in lizard Illuminati.<\/p>\n<p>The paper of record is, more and more, the record of those living in a distant galaxy, one whose concerns are profoundly removed from the lives of most people. This is a galaxy in which, to choose just a few recent examples, the Soviet space program is lauded for its \u201cdiversity\u201d; the doxxing of teenagers in the name of justice is condoned; and the worst caste systems in human history includes the United States alongside Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Even now, I am confident that most people at The Times do not hold these views. Yet they are cowed by those who do. Why? Perhaps because they believe the ultimate goal is righteous. Perhaps because they believe that they will be granted protection if they nod along as the coin of our realm\u2014language\u2014is degraded in service to an ever-shifting laundry list of right causes. Perhaps because there are millions of unemployed people in this country and they feel lucky to have a job in a contracting industry.<\/p>\n<p>Or perhaps it is because they know that, nowadays, standing up for principle at the paper does not win plaudits. It puts a target on your back. Too wise to post on Slack, they write to me privately about the \u201cnew McCarthyism\u201d that has taken root at the paper of record.<\/p>\n<p>All this bodes ill, especially for independent-minded young writers and editors paying close attention to what they\u2019ll have to do to advance in their careers. Rule One: Speak your mind at your own peril. Rule Two: Never risk commissioning a story that goes against the narrative. Rule Three: Never believe an editor or publisher who urges you to go against the grain. Eventually, the publisher will cave to the mob, the editor will get fired or reassigned, and you\u2019ll be hung out to dry.<\/p>\n<p>For these young writers and editors, there is one consolation. As places like The Times and other once-great journalistic institutions betray their standards and lose sight of their principles, Americans still hunger for news that is accurate, opinions that are vital, and debate that is sincere. I hear from these people every day. \u201cAn independent press is not a liberal ideal or a progressive ideal or a democratic ideal. It\u2019s an American ideal,\u201d you said a few years ago. I couldn\u2019t agree more. America is a great country that deserves a great newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>None of this means that some of the most talented journalists in the world don\u2019t still labor for this newspaper. They do, which is what makes the illiberal environment especially heartbreaking. I will be, as ever, a dedicated reader of their work. But I can no longer do the work that you brought me here to do\u2014the work that Adolph Ochs described in that famous 1896 statement: \u201cto make of the columns of The New York Times a forum for the consideration of all questions of public importance, and to that end to invite intelligent discussion from all shades of opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ochs\u2019s idea is one of the best I\u2019ve encountered. And I\u2019ve always comforted myself with the notion that the best ideas win out. But ideas cannot win on their own. They need a voice. They need a hearing. Above all, they must be backed by people willing to live by them.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Bari<\/p>\n<p>##<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18311\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18311\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BariWeissPhotoNewYorkTimesBuildingPhotoQuoteAnIndependentPressIsNotProgressiveLiberalDemocraticIdealItisAnAmericanIdealQuoteMHLivingNews.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18311 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BariWeissPhotoNewYorkTimesBuildingPhotoQuoteAnIndependentPressIsNotProgressiveLiberalDemocraticIdealItisAnAmericanIdealQuoteMHLivingNews.png\" alt=\"BariWeissPhotoNewYorkTimesBuildingPhotoQuoteAnIndependentPressIsNotProgressiveLiberalDemocraticIdealItisAnAmericanIdealQuoteMHLivingNews\" width=\"600\" height=\"817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BariWeissPhotoNewYorkTimesBuildingPhotoQuoteAnIndependentPressIsNotProgressiveLiberalDemocraticIdealItisAnAmericanIdealQuoteMHLivingNews.png 600w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BariWeissPhotoNewYorkTimesBuildingPhotoQuoteAnIndependentPressIsNotProgressiveLiberalDemocraticIdealItisAnAmericanIdealQuoteMHLivingNews-316x430.png 316w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BariWeissPhotoNewYorkTimesBuildingPhotoQuoteAnIndependentPressIsNotProgressiveLiberalDemocraticIdealItisAnAmericanIdealQuoteMHLivingNews-564x768.png 564w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BariWeissPhotoNewYorkTimesBuildingPhotoQuoteAnIndependentPressIsNotProgressiveLiberalDemocraticIdealItisAnAmericanIdealQuoteMHLivingNews-110x150.png 110w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i> Quote collage by MHProNews. <\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HarpersLogoletteronSocialJusticeJuly2020MHProNews.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HarpersLogoletteronSocialJusticeJuly2020MHProNews.png\" alt=\"HarpersLogoletteronSocialJusticeJuly2020MHProNews\" width=\"600\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HarpersLogoletteronSocialJusticeJuly2020MHProNews.png 600w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HarpersLogoletteronSocialJusticeJuly2020MHProNews-575x175.png 575w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HarpersLogoletteronSocialJusticeJuly2020MHProNews-150x46.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17501\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17501\" style=\"width: 124px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ExtendedQuoteSymbolCloseQuoteSBManufacturedHomeProNews-89x150.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ExtendedQuoteSymbolCloseQuoteSBManufacturedHomeProNews-89x150.png\" alt=\"ExtendedQuoteSymbolCloseQuoteSBManufacturedHomeProNews-89x150\" width=\"124\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ExtendedQuoteSymbolCloseQuoteSBManufacturedHomeProNews-89x150.png 124w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ExtendedQuoteSymbolCloseQuoteSBManufacturedHomeProNews-89x150-100x150.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 124px) 100vw, 124px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17501\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Start of extended quote from the source shown. <\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>A Letter on Justice and Open Debate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>July 7, 2020<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>The below letter will be appearing in the Letters section of the magazine\u2019s October issue. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our cultural institutions are facing a moment of trial. Powerful protests for racial and social justice are leading to overdue demands for police reform, along with wider calls for greater equality and inclusion across our society, not least in higher education, journalism, philanthropy, and the arts. But this needed reckoning has also intensified a new set of moral attitudes and political commitments that tend to weaken our norms of open debate and toleration of differences in favor of ideological conformity. As we applaud the first development, we also raise our voices against the second. The forces of illiberalism are gaining strength throughout the world and have a powerful ally in Donald Trump, who represents a real threat to democracy. But resistance must not be allowed to harden into its own brand of dogma or coercion\u2014which right-wing demagogues are already exploiting. The democratic inclusion we want can be achieved only if we speak out against the intolerant climate that has set in on all sides.<\/p>\n<p>The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted. While we have come to expect this on the radical right, censoriousness is also spreading more widely in our culture: an intolerance of opposing views, a vogue for public shaming and ostracism, and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty. We uphold the value of robust and even caustic counter-speech from all quarters. But it is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought. More troubling still, institutional leaders, in a spirit of panicked damage control, are delivering hasty and disproportionate punishments instead of considered reforms. Editors are fired for running controversial pieces; books are withdrawn for alleged inauthenticity; journalists are barred from writing on certain topics; professors are investigated for quoting works of literature in class; a researcher is fired for circulating a peer-reviewed academic study; and the heads of organizations are ousted for what are sometimes just clumsy mistakes. Whatever the arguments around each particular incident, the result has been to steadily narrow the boundaries of what can be said without the threat of reprisal. We are already paying the price in greater risk aversion among writers, artists, and journalists who fear for their livelihoods if they depart from the consensus, or even lack sufficient zeal in agreement.<\/p>\n<p>This stifling atmosphere will ultimately harm the most vital causes of our time. The restriction of debate, whether by a repressive government or an intolerant society, invariably hurts those who lack power and makes everyone less capable of democratic participation. The way to defeat bad ideas is by exposure, argument, and persuasion, not by trying to silence or wish them away. We refuse any false choice between justice and freedom, which cannot exist without each other. As writers we need a culture that leaves us room for experimentation, risk taking, and even mistakes. We need to preserve the possibility of good-faith disagreement without dire professional consequences. If we won\u2019t defend the very thing on which our work depends, we shouldn\u2019t expect the public or the state to defend it for us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elliot Ackerman<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Saladin Ambar<\/strong>,\u00a0Rutgers University<br \/>\n<strong>Martin Amis<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Anne Applebaum<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Marie Arana<\/strong>,\u00a0author<br \/>\n<strong>Margaret Atwood<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>John Banville<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Mia Bay<\/strong>,\u00a0historian<br \/>\n<strong>Louis Begley<\/strong>,\u00a0writer<br \/>\n<strong>Roger Berkowitz<\/strong>,\u00a0Bard College<br \/>\n<strong>Paul Berman<\/strong>,\u00a0writer<br \/>\n<strong>Sheri Berman<\/strong>,\u00a0Barnard College<br \/>\n<strong>Reginald Dwayne Betts<\/strong>,\u00a0poet<br \/>\n<strong>Neil Blair<\/strong>,\u00a0agent<br \/>\n<strong>David W.
