NYT Employed Racist, Homophobic Fact-Checker

A long, long history of racist and homophobic abuse.

But of course the rules are different for New York Times employees.

A researcher and fact checker for the New York Times has a history of using racist and homophobic slurs on Twitter, according to a journalist for Newsmax. Gina Cherelus -- who on her LinkedIn page describes herself as "a researcher and fact-checker for The New York Times' Opinion section" -- appears to have deleted the offensive Tweets on Tuesday. But some were still accessible on her Twitter account.

But Newsmax host John Cardillo has posted screen hots of tweets apparently from Cherelus’ account in which she used words like "faggots" and "dykes" while also referring disparagingly to Asians, Latinos, and "white people."

...

Some of Cherelus’s tweets apparently date as far back as 2011. In one screenshot, Cherelus wrote, "Nahh, too many dykes on my floor."

In another apparent tweet, she wrote: "I know, I'd rather that too :/. Not faggots smh lol."

Cherelus appears to have used the term "wetback" in one tweet and made repeated disparaging remarks about white people.

"Some white people really just don't get it… Trying so hard to argue against something you JUST DON'T GET," one screen shot shows.
