No, this isn't primarily a labor dispute. And you're not "cutting through the weeds," you're missing the whole point. Baquet told the truth: the newsroom turned against McNeil, they wouldn't work with him, and that's why he had to go. The hostile attorney surely didn't help, maybe she set the ball rolling, but once the twitter mafia was out for blood the game was over.
Also, the irony of you talking about "meandering writing" is just breathtaking. Ever heard of a period?

- bootlooped 6y agoIt's possible the newsroom turned against him at least in part due to the fact he was not allowed to make his side of the story known. I'm not sure how much difference it would have made though, based on the fact so many people think context and intent are somewhere between not good enough excuses and totally irrelevant.
