The number was up for two days, and Hannah-Jones spent them mocking Sibarium and trading jokes about her behavior with her allies on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Repeated entreaties to <em>Times<\/em> management, including executive editor Dean Baquet and chairman A.G. Sulzberger, to address the ongoing harassment of our reporter fell on apparently deaf ears\u2014right up until the moment Sibarium published his first-rate reporting on the fallout inside the <em>Times,<\/em> bringing sudden public attention to Hannah-Jones&#8217;s disgraceful attack on our man.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what happened. In response to a professional journalistic inquiry, Hannah-Jones posted Sibarium&#8217;s phone number in the course of mocking his request for comment. Sibarium was asking about the new <em>Times<\/em> policy <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/issues\/inside-the-grey-ladys-meltdown-over-donald-mcneils-resignation\/\">articulated by Baquet<\/a> on Friday that the use of racial slurs is unacceptable &#8220;regardless of intent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hannah-Jones and other African-American employees of the <em>Times<\/em> have used this particular racial slur, presumably without any malicious intent, and Sibarium asked for her views on the new policy. It&#8217;s a good question\u2014one that Sibarium&#8217;s own reporting has demonstrated is <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/issues\/inside-the-grey-ladys-meltdown-over-donald-mcneils-resignation\/\">roiling the newspaper<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/editorial-standards\/social-media-guidelines.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media guidelines<\/a> dictate that employees &#8220;always treat others with respect on social media.&#8221; Presumably that means refraining from doxxing fellow journalists.<\/p>\n<p>Pressed for an explanation, or a defense of Hannah-Jones&#8217;s conduct, or any kind of comment at all, Baquet and Sulzberger punted to <em>Times<\/em> spokeswoman Eileen Murphy, who told us, falsely, that the posting of Sibarium&#8217;s cell phone number was &#8220;inadvertent.&#8221; Hannah-Jones joked about it after the fact. Did Hannah-Jones lie to Murphy? Or did Murphy take it upon herself to lie to us? Neither explanation would surprise us.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Times<\/em> policy also admonishes journalists: &#8220;Be transparent. If you tweeted an error or something inappropriate and wish to delete the tweet, be sure to quickly acknowledge the deletion in a subsequent tweet.&#8221; We&#8217;re still waiting.<\/p>\n<p>Silence. Misdirection. A refusal to take responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Fear and favor are on the masthead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-8 hide-print\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1526555381173-4\" class=\"mobile-250 desktop-90\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Times pledges to hold the powerful accountable &#8220;without fear or favor,&#8221; scrutinizing their actions and demanding transparency.
