Commenting on the appointment of 37-year-old Arthur Gregg Sulzberger to be the new publisher of the New York Times, Catholic League President Bill Donohue said the hiring process at the "old-boys club par excellence" was a "classic case of nepotism," and added that "no women were interviewed for the top spot," nor were any blacks, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, Muslims, Protestants, Catholics or transgenders.
There is no glass ceiling at the New York Times, said Donohue, there is a cement ceiling, "one that will never be penetrated by women or minorities."
The appointment of Arthur Gregg Sulzberger, or A.G., to the top spot was announced Thursday.
"The appointment was made by Arthur Gregg's father, Arthur Sulzberger Jr.," said Donohue in a statement released today. "He got his job because his predecessor, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, was his father. Thus does the white male dynasty continue."
A.G. "represents the fifth generation of his family since the Grand Patriarch, Adolph S. Ochs, bought the newspaper in 1896," said Donohue.

We will now have a men in power again and jobless females , nobody will hire females after the revolution that is going on now. They wear tops that expose most of the breasts , they wear pants as a second pair of skin they exploit their bodies and wonder why men try to touch them .
ReplyDeleteI find it even more astonishing that no gay men were interviewed.
ReplyDeleteWere they sliding un-outed, under the NYT's gaydar?
Hypocrites at best.

ReplyDeleteSilly article. Publicly owned but IIRC the voting shares are primarily owned by his family so this is to be expected.
Still a crappy paper fully deserving of the lack of respect it has earned. His father has presided over its slippage, and aside from a bump in pay tied to the promotion the kid is being given a very tough assignment.
If you own the business, what's the problem?
ReplyDeleteLet them run that thing into the ground.....
