ONLY the Niskanen Center fired Wilkinson.

Niskanen Center is a libertarian "think tank" based in Washington, D.C. that advocates for environmentalism, immigration reform, civil liberties, and a national defense policy based on libertarian principles. 

Wolfe's supposed "firing" was based on Yashar Ali's two anonynous sources.

Reason: "Wolfe could not be reached and the Times had not immediately responded to questions about her status on Friday."

Remember Disney's James Gunn?

They never actually fired him.

Disney reportedly never actually looked for another Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director March 15, 2019

James Gunn is back as director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — and it sounds like Disney never seriously explored a replacement after all.

But The Hollywood Reporter now reports that "what almost no one knew" until today was that Marvel and Disney had actually "never undertaken a search" for another director at all and, in fact, had "gone back to Gunn and made a deal...in secret." Deadline similarly reports that the decision to bring back Gunn was made "months ago" and that Marvel "never met with or considered any other director."

Reason: NYT: "We're reassessing our relationship with Will Wilkinson."

NYPost: "According to journalist Yashar Ali, who first reported on her ouster citing two unnamed sources,"

Stop falling for leftist PR stunts.

Cancel Culture Comes for Will Wilkinson

The Niskanen Center fired a senior staffer for tweeting an offensive joke about Mike Pence, and hypocrisies abound.

ROBBY SOAVE | 1.22.2021 12:13 PM

Will Wilkinson is a vice president at the left-leaning Niskanen Center, a contributing writer at The New York Times, and someone who has frequently quarreled with me about so-called cancel culture. (I think it's generally bad when people are fired, expelled, or dragged on social media for saying stupid or poorly phrased things they quickly come to regret; Wilkinson has suggested to me that I've made too much of this problem.)

On Wednesday, Wilkinson tweeted, "If Biden really wanted unity, he'd lynch Mike Pence."

Lynching humor is virtually never a good idea, and this joke was especially badly executed. (Wilkinson said he was making a joke not at the former vice president's expense, but in reference to the Capitol rioters who had expressed a similar sentiment. The joke being that this time it was the far right calling for violence against a Republican official rather than the left.)

Nevertheless, the Niskanen Center fired Wilkinson and made it clear that they did so explicitly because of the tweet. "The Niskanen Center appreciates and encourages interesting and provocative online discourse," wrote Niskanen President Jerry Taylor in a statement. "However we draw the line at statements that are, or can in any way be interpreted as, condoning or promoting violence."

The New York Times, too, may take action. "Advocating violence of any form, even in jest, is unacceptable and against the standards of The New York Times," a Times spokesperson told Fox News. "We're reassessing our relationship with Will Wilkinson."

NY Times ousts editor who said she had ‘chills’ watching Biden plane land

By Keith J. Kelly January 22, 2021 | 3:59pm | Updated

According to journalist Yashar Ali, who first reported on her ouster citing two unnamed sources, Wolfe deleted the tweets after she “learned that Biden chose to take his own plane.”

The news set off a Twitter storm of criticism.

Wolfe could not be reached and the Times had not immediately responded to questions about her status on Friday.

Note: Neither Will Wilkinson nor Lauren Wolfe gave a single shit when non-leftists were cancelled.

These clowns can take their $50,000/year MINIMUM "journalist" pay and go fuck themselves.

Things that sporadically happen to 2 "journalists" that represent less than .01% of the population are trends?

Maybe branch out to slightly important stories?

Things that sporadically happen in 20 schools that .01% of the population will ever set foot in are trends?

Cancel culture, lol.

Proposed: when groups of people have cultural power, but little expectation of effective political power, because they've grown under non-responsive minority-rule "democracy," they will "politicize" every institution, because that's the only politics that work.

That is, "cancel culture" is what you get when people can't do politics through a broken political system.

It's hilarious this refrain of "cancel culture." As if it is actually anything. Virus? Jobs? Nah.

Do regular humans actually buy zip-ties? Have you ever bought a zip-tie? If so, what did you use it for?

I literally had no idea that there were this many people passionate about the legal use of zip ties

This is the most important thing I've ever written. My friend and family Lauren @Wolfe321 was just fired by the @NYTimes after the NYT was pressured by fascists, Trumpkins and hypocrites on the right for tweeting she had "chills" after witnessing Biden's landing on the 20th.

Hard to fathom all the talk of “cancel culture” on my timeline while I’m left without an income during a pandemic. I’m not an ideology, I’m a hard-working person who can no longer pay her bills. @SulomeAnderson @yashar @michaeldweiss
