Jhaveri said this in response to DiCaro\u2019s tweet saying, \u201cExtremely tired of people\u2019s lives depending on whether a white man with an AR-15 is having a good day or not.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/media-activists-assumed-colorado-shooter-was-white-delete-posts-pivot-when-his-identity-revealed\">reported<\/a>, however, the shooter was not white, but a Muslim who was born in Syria but spent most of his life in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>As The Federalist\u2019s Emily Jashinsky <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/03\/26\/fired-usa-today-editor-deflects-from-wrongdoing-alleges-white-supremacy\/\">explained<\/a>, Jhaveri\u2019s error was particularly large given her position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, that amounts to the \u201crace and inclusion\u201d editor of a major purportedly objective publication getting basic facts about race incorrect on a professional platform in the wake of a mass tragedy. She didn\u2019t get facts about the budget wrong as a smalltime fashion blogger. She got one major fact directly related to her job wrong on a big story,\u201d Jashinsky wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Firing Jhaveri may have been extreme, but her reaction to getting fired was even worse. In a Medium <a href=\"https:\/\/hemjhaveri.medium.com\/i-am-no-longer-working-at-usa-today-heres-what-happened-7ebd540a510e\">post<\/a>, Jhaveri ripped her former employer and downplayed her transgression by alleging \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d was rampant at USA Today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite USA TODAY reporters have been able to minimize racialized people in print, our white Editor-In-Chief was thoughtless about black face, and a senior politics editor (also white) showed disregard for journalistic ethics by hosting a tax payer funded reception for Trump appointees. All kept their jobs,\u201d Jhaveri wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSending one wrong tweet that ended up in the hands of Sean Hannity on Fox News though, was enough for this publication to turn tail,\u201d she added. \u201cSo many newsrooms claim to value diverse voices, yet when it comes to backing them up, or looking deeper into how white supremacy permeates their own newsrooms, they quickly retreat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To further burn the bridge, Jhaveri listed numerous grievances she claimed to have experienced during the eight years she worked for USA Today, including allegedly being asked to edit articles on young black golfers so as not to \u201calienate white audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jhaveri went on to claim that insisting racism is everywhere is treated as a \u201cbias\u201d when, in her mind, it is a fact. As Jashinsky wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16\">\n<p><em>This sentiment is representative of the cultural left\u2019s insistence that everything outside its own radical worldview is necessarily bigoted and necessarily wrong. Thus, to Jhaveri, it isn\u2019t bias, it\u2019s as a clear a moral position as opposing murder. That\u2019s also why people like Jhaveri operate on much broader definitions of bigotry and \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d than the general public. In their rigid progressive-or-bigot binary formulation, all disagreement embodies and perpetuates bigotry and must have no voice.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fish don\u2019t know they\u2019re wet and media leftists don\u2019t know they\u2019re biased. They swim in the waters of ideological consensus to the point where they don\u2019t realize certain aspects of their worldview represent ideological bias. Jhaveri\u2019s contention in that Medium post is Exhibit A.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
