New York Times podcast host Michael Barbaro reportedly pressured several journalists to tone down their criticism of the paper after it retracted the core of its award-winning podcast series “Caliphate” due to false reporting.
According to NPR’s David Folkenflik, Mr. Barbaro “repeatedly pressed at least four journalists Friday to temper their critiques of The Times and how they framed what happened. I know, because I was one of them.”
