The NYT doxxes DOGE employees — names and pictures — while hiding the names of the reporters doing it
/One of the six ways from Sunday the deep state has at getting back at the rebels
DOGE: The so-called New York Times is doubling down on its efforts to dox the federal employees assigned to the DOGE team. Today they provided the names and photographs of 45 employees despite knowlege of credible threats to their lives and the lives of their families. https://t.co/ACa83luuDE pic.twitter.com/KWCAaULqtx

Bob Hoge:
“Not only is there no valid reason to post the names and pictures of these individuals, but the tone of The Times' prose is so sneering, so condescending that it becomes clear why Americans are turning away from our supposed progressive betters in ever-increasing numbers. Their opening paragraph is dripping with derision [emphasis mine]:
The New York Times identified 45 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that in a short few weeks has radically upended federal agencies. Few members have formal Washington experience. Many are software engineers. All seem to have a clear mandate: Shrink and disrupt the federal government.
“What do you mean, “so-called” Department of Government Efficiency? That’s its name. Can you ever imagine them writing, "Officials at the so-called FBI…” Then they pile on the snide, saying, “All [DOGE employees] seem to have a clear mandate: Shrink and disrupt the federal government.” No, their mandate is to cut waste and fraud and try to trim the gargantuan deficit. Their mission is not to “disrupt” the federal government merely for their amusement.”
The DOGE Gang are all government employees, so their identities can, or should be available to the public, but the Times isn’t doing this in the cause of the public’s right to know; or I won’t believe it until they publish a similar article exposing the identities of IRS agents, they’re doing it to harass and if something bad happens to these people, like the attack on the house of an Oregon Insurance company executive two days ago, well, heck, wouldn’t that be a shame?
