I work for The New York Times but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of its editors’ agenda and worst inclinations.

The Fluffington Host is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior writer for The New York Times whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers.



The New York Times is facing a test to its credibility unlike any faced by a modern American newspaper.

It’s not just that traditional print media is struggling to maintain readers and relevance with the rise of thousands of new digital competitors. Or that any semblance of professional objectivity was abandoned long, long before The New York Times hired an outspoken racist as an editor. Or even that the paper might well lose the trust, respect and patronage of its remaining subscribers in the wake of its editors’ decision to provide a platform for an anonymous man in the Trump Administration to boast about his efforts to thwart the some of Mr. Trump’s decisions as President.

The dilemma — which The New York Times’ editors do not fully grasp — is that a few of their writers are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of their agenda and their worst inclinations.

I would know. I am one of them.

To be clear, ours is not the popular “journalism” of the left. We want the provide the facts to our readers and allow them to make up their own minds regarding the policies which will made America safer and more prosperous.

We believe our first duty is to this country, and the decision makers at The New York Times continue to act in a manner that is detrimental to credible journalism.

That is why the few actual journalists at The New York Times must strive to preserve objectivity and professionalism while thwarting our editors’ more misguided impulses until they retire.

In addition to their mass-marketing of the notion that conservatives, independents, and, more recently, whites, are the “enemies of the people,” our editors’ impulses are generally sensationalistic and biased.

Their erratic behavior would be more concerning if it weren’t for unsung heroes – the few dedicated journalists at legacy media sources such as The New York Times who are still capable of piercing through the walls of the liberal elitist echo chambers they work in to provide their readers with credible fact-based journalism and the many dedicated journalist at “alternative media” sources.

It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there ARE adults at The New York Times. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when the Paper’s editors won’t.

The bigger concern is not what The New York Times editors have done to journalism, but rather, what we as a nation have allowed them to get away with. We have sunk low with them and allowed what passes for “journalism” to be entirely stripped of credibility.

There is a quiet resistance within The New York Times of a few people choosing to put journalism first. But the real difference will be made by everyday citizens rising above politics, doing their own research on the facts underlying on political issues, and refusing to give their money, clicks, and page views to “news” sources who value inflicting the political views of their editors on the public above providing information.
