The New York Times on Wednesday drew heated criticism for publishing an opinion piece about the Republican Party's presidential debate that gave voice to ultra-conservative commentator Ann Coulter.
Times columnist Frank Bruni hosted a roundtable discussion titled "'I Don't Think Trump Will Be the Nominee': Three Writers Preview the First G.O.P. Debate," that included Coulter and Stuart Stevens, a former Republican political consultant. The article presents the trio's discussion of their expectations about the first Republican party debate slated for Wednesday night.
Upon seeing Coulter's name under the headline of the article, journalists and media personalities decried the Times' decision to feature the right-wing media pundit as "irresponsible" and "shameful."
"Seriously ranks among the lowest, most irresponsible things the New York Times has done," Sirius XM host Michelangelo Signorile wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
