The former New York Times editorial page editor who resigned following a staff-wide uproar over the publication of an op-ed by Republican Sen. Tom Cotton has landed a new job. James Bennet is set to begin work at The Economist for a year-long stint as a visiting senior editor. Rather, Cotton called for deploying federal troops if necessary to bolster local authorities dealing with riots in cities like New York. Opinion writer and editor Bari Weiss resigned from the Times a month later and said Twitter had essentially become its editor. Cotton ripped the Grey Lady at the time for surrendering to a "woke child mob from their own newsroom."
