How Bari Weiss Would Have Handled Dachau

This is what happens when media executives confuse speech absolutism with selective courage.

Let’s stop pretending that this is complicated.

If escaped inmates from Dachau had staggered into a newsroom in 1930s Berlin — starved, beaten, carrying testimony of a system designed to disappear human beings — the most dangerous person in that room would not have been the regime’s censor. It would have been the editor who smiled sympathetically, took notes, promised “serious consideration,” and then quietly killed the story under the pretense that it didn’t present both sides of the concentration camp debate.

That editor, in today’s American media landscape, has a name: Bari Weiss.
