The editor of a left-leaning British newspaper offered its staffers counseling to cope with Donald Trump’s “upsetting” victory in Tuesday’s presidential election, The Post has learned.
Katherine Viner, editor-in-chief of The Guardian, urged journalists at the newspaper’s UK and Australia offices to contact their colleagues in the United States to “offer your support,” according to a copy of her email obtained by The Post.
“I know the result has been very upsetting for many colleagues,” she wrote.
“If you want to talk about it, your manager and members of the leadership team are all available, as is the People team.”
Viner added that employees upset by Trump’s return to the White House can access free mental health support from internal company portals, according to the memo.
“The election has exposed alarming fault lines on many fronts, which we will be examining in the weeks and months ahead,” Viner wrote.
It’s honestly sad to see adults act this way. Things happen you won’t like in life and as my dad said a million times “life isn’t always fair”. I guess these people live in such a bubble they thought nobody disagreed with them
Its not that they think people don't disagree with them. Its that they thought they were the good guys of the story (aka destined to win) and had the upper hand enough to not ever have to worry about "sliding back" regardless of what the deplorables think.
The notion that their enemies still exist in enough number and have the capability of making real opposition to them is terrifying because they know they can't win on any front beyond demoralization and social.
That, and they know that their enemies are out for their blood after the way they all behaved for the last eight years.
Man I wish that were true.
True.
They know people disagree with them. Only STUPID and RACIST people like you.
Convicted felon! Russia! Insurrection!
Yea. Guess I’m naive.
They're trotting out rapist right now.
Yes "adjudicated rapist", which means they're taking findings from a civil trial with completely different standards of evidence, no presumption of innocence, and a "more likely than not" burden of proof and conflating them into some sort of pseudo finding of criminal guilt.
I never seen this term before, but they leave no stone unturned in their smear campaign against Trump.
There are a lot of adults with the mentality of children who don't understand why this is the better way for things to be. All they care about is them and theirs and getting things to go how they want. They wouldn't stop for a second to consider the flipside which is that if life was fair every bad thing that happened to you would be deserved.
