Defending Bret Stephens

Sohrab Ahmari has a very sensible piece about the Bret Stephens fiasco. Ahmari doesn’t defend what Stephens did and I basically agree with Ahmari’s take.

But, among other things, he also writes this:

Here is what I do know about Bret Stephens: He is more, much more than an email fired off in a rash, heated moment. Whatever his foibles — and like all of us, he has his share — Bret is also possessed of a generous spirit and more journalistic integrity and scrupulosity than nearly all of the people I have encountered in this business.

The piece is absolutely worth reading and thinking about. It appears in The New York Post; you can check it out here.
