Ace features this story this morning:
New York Times Reporter Had Public Records Proving Elizabeth Warren's Claim About Being Fired Due to Pregnancy False, But Refused to Report ItAce links to a report by Jack Crowe and Tobias Hoonhut in the National Review.
A reporter who now works for the New York Times failed to report on public records, which he obtained in April, that cut against Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (D., Mass.) claim that she was fired from a teaching position in 1971 due to pregnancy discrimination.Read more here.
Reid Epstein, who was then working for the Wall Street Journal, filed an open-records request with the Riverdale Board of Education on April 2 seeking “to inspect or obtain” copies of public records relating to Warren’s time teaching at Riverdale during the 1970-1971 school year. In response to his request, Epstein on April 10 received school-board minutes that challenge Warren’s story, according to documents obtained by National Review through the New Jersey Open Records Act.
Epstein, who moved to the Times on April 19, never broke the story.
Earlier this month, the Washington Free Beacon obtained the aforementioned school-board minutes showing that the Riverdale Board of Education had approved a second-year teaching contract for a young Elizabeth Warren in April 1971. Rather than accepting the board’s offer of continued employment, Warren chose to tender her resignation, which was “accepted with regret,” according to minutes from a school board meeting held two months after the offer was extended.
...“I was pregnant, but nobody knew it. And then a couple of months later when I was six months pregnant and it was pretty obvious, the principal called me in, wished me luck, and said he was going to hire someone else for the job,” Warren told CBS News on October 7.
...Warren has repeatedly described on the campaign trail how she was “shown the door” after one year because her pregnancy became visible and routinely claims that the experience informed her commitment to gender equality and her decision to enter politics.
Ace of Spades sumarizes:
And the left fights for more gate-keeping by social media monopolies to censor stories they deem "false" or "misleading."Read more here.
But you can see they think any story that hurts Democrats or socialism is false or misleading, because it diverts people away from their Glorious Socialist Future.
If the left had its way, the Free Beacon would not have been permitted to run their story.
This is an attempt at actual totalitarianism. They want to do it. The social media monopolists want to do it too.
They're just not sure they can get away with it yet.
