Another New York times Editor under Fire for Racist Comments

Another New York times Editor under Fire for Racist Comments

The New York Times loves to keep the race baiting propaganda going, to keep us all divided and to ensure that everyone stays in their neat little groups. The objective has always been to divide people along racial lines to make democrat victory that much easier.

Another editor is now under fire for a series of more anti-white tweets and comments just now surfacing. This of course, comes only…

Why Aren't Awards Campaigns Taking Measures to Bury Offensive Tweets?

While objectionable comments can cause public relations nightmares (just ask Kevin Hart or 'Green Book' writer Nick Vallelonga), strategists aren't proactively policing past remarks, but after this season, that could change: "If a company did exist to do this, they would probably be hired by everybody."

Have you now or have you ever tweeted anything offensive?

That's the question that Hollywood awards strategists may need to start routinely asking their clients now that a 2015 tweet from Green Book writer-producer Nick Vallelonga — in which he agreed with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump that Muslims in New Jersey cheered the 9/11 attacks — has threatened to derail that movie's Oscar campaign. While shrewd strategists spend months doing everything they can to promote films — from seeking impressive endorsements to throwing seductive soirees — they have yet to take proactive measures to bury any potentially explosive tweets. "Every single company except Netflix is just so understaffed or overworked," says one strategist. "Who has the time to do this?"

Old news stories, reflecting negatively on an awards hopeful, have haunted strategists in the past. And on Jan. 9, the same day Vallelonga's tweet resurfaced — it first was posted by an anonymous commentator calling himself "AlvySinger" on the website AwardsWatch.com — another site, The Cut, published excerpts from a 1998 Newsweek story in which Green Book writer-director Peter Farrelly admitted to flashing his genitals in the past. Farrelly quickly apologized, saying, "I was an idiot. I did this decades ago, and I thought I was being funny, and the truth is I'm embarrassed, and it makes me cringe now. I'm deeply sorry."

News stories sometimes reappear to do damage. Reports of a 2010 sexual harassment suit (settled out of court) against Casey Affleck shadowed his successful Oscar quest for Manchester by the Sea. But Twitter provides an even richer repository of past missteps, with statements often tossed out off-the-cuff and without filters and easily searchable by anyone seeking to do opposition research or by an obsessed fan looking to do mischief.

For some, old tweets have become a veritable land mine. During the past year, politically offensive tweets — some old, some new — cost Roseanne Barr her TV show, James Gunn his Guardians of the Galaxy directing gigand Kevin Hart the job of Oscar host.

Vallelonga also offered an apology, saying, in part, "I spent my life trying to bring this story of overcoming differences and finding common ground to the screen, and I am incredibly sorry to everyone associated with Green Book." He also took down his Twitter account, though by then screenshots of the offending tweet already were in circulation.

But among a number of prominent strategists surveyed, none would admit to regularly doing any kind of forensic searches of the online words left behind by the talent on the films they repped in order to erase any problematic opinions before they saw the light of day.

One source did acknowledge asking a contender who was very outspoken on Facebook and "friends" with many others in the industry to avoid the site until voting ends. Another admits to having once retained ReputationDefender.com to scrub the internet of old web content that could have hurt a high-profile Oscar hopeful — but that person notes that examining social media still hasn't become a matter of course.

That could change, though — if not for the second half of this awards cycle, then by next Oscar season. "If a company did exist to do this, they would probably be hired by everybody," says Perception PR's Lea Yardum. "And I doubt it would cost more than one trade ad."

WASHINGTON | Nationals SS Turner apologizes for offensive tweets

WASHINGTON | Nationals SS Turner apologizes for offensive tweets

WASHINGTON — Nationals shortstop Trea Turner has apologized for some years-old homophobic and racially insensitive tweets, becoming the latest in a series of major leaguers to address offensive language they used on social media.

The tweets surfaced Sunday, hours after Washington’s 5-0 loss at Miami. The posts are from 2011 and 2012.

Turner says there is no excuse for his language and he is “sincerely sorry for those tweets and apologize wholeheartedly.”

Atlanta Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb also apologized Sunday for racist, homophobic and sexist tweets he sent as a teenager, calling them “some stupid stuff.” Major League Baseball dealt with a similar situation this month involving Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader on the night he pitched in the All-Star Game.

LEADING OFF: Newcomb faces fallout after offensive tweets

LEADING OFF: Newcomb faces fallout after offensive tweets

A look at what’s happening around the majors Monday:

TWEET TROUBLE

Atlanta pitcher Sean Newcomb will face the fallout from his tweets, a day after he apologized for racist, homophobic and sexist posts he put on social media as a teenager.

The 25-year-old came within one strike of a no-hitter Sunday at SunTrust Park against the Dodgers. Less than an hour later, after the old tweets came to light, he said he regretted his actions. Major League Baseball, which dealt with a similar situation involving Milwaukee reliever Josh Hader on the night he pitched in the All-Star Game, said it will determine a course of diversity training for Newcomb.

The Braves are home to open a series against Miami.

GROUNDED

The World Series champion Astros have lost a season-high four in a row, getting swept for the first time this year when Texas took three straight at Minute Maid Park over the weekend. Houston also is minus its star middle infielders — second baseman Jose Altuve has a sore knee and is on the disabled list for the first time in his career and shortstop Carlos Correa has a back problem.

Leading the AL West by four games over the Mariners, the Astros begin a three-game series at Seattle with Gerrit Cole (10-2) pitching against James Paxton (8-4).

WHO’S NEXT?

More deals could come as teams approach the Tuesday afternoon deadline for making trades without waivers. The Braves added an arm for their bullpen on Sunday, getting right-hander Brad Brach from Baltimore for $250,000 of international signing bonus allotment. Brach was the latest Orioles player to get traded after star third baseman Manny Machado went to the Dodgers and relief ace Zach Britton was sent to the Yankees.

FIRST THIRST

A pair of division leaders meet at Fenway Park when All-Star Aaron Nola (12-3) and Phillies visit David Price (11-6) and the Red Sox to start a two-game series. Philadelphia tops the NL East despite losing three in a row for the first time in more than a month. Boston owns the best record in the majors, winning 18 of its last 22 to stay atop the AL East.

CHECK THEM

The Giants will see how Andrew McCutchen and Pablo Sandoval are feeling after they got jarred in a win over Milwaukee.

Sandoval ran out his first triple in more than three years, but strained his right hamstring diving home and is set for an MRI. McCutchen was pulled for a pinch-hitter after fouling multiple pitches off his left foot. The team also is waiting test results after Johnny Cueto met with doctors regarding his sore elbow — he’s winless in four starts since coming off a two-month stay on the disabled list.
