#Andrew Sullivan leaves New York Magazine, blasts colleagues upon exit

Andrew Sullivan officially signed off from New York Magazine on Friday, claiming the culture of the magazine and its new parent company, Vox Media, had become increasingly hostile to conservative voices like his.

The on-staff contrarian worked as a regular columnist for four years and called out the prevailing belief on staff that writers not actively committed to woke pablums surrounding race, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity were “actively, physically harming co-workers merely by existing in the same virtual space.”

“Actually attacking, and even mocking, critical theory’s ideas and methods, as I have done continually in this space, is therefore out of sync with the values of Vox Media,” Sullivan wrote in his farewell piece. “That, to the best of my understanding, is why I’m out of here.”

Sullivan said he planned to restart his old blog, “The Dish,” and bring it back in a weekly installment directly to readers on Substack.

“There is a growing federation of independent thinkers and writers not subject to mainstream media’s increasingly narrow range of acceptable thought,” he said, lauding the platform’s popularity with other writers like Jesse Singal and Matt Taibbi.

The Sullivan departure comes just days after Bari Weiss resigned as an op-ed editor at The New York Times, citing what she said was a culture of “constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views.”
