Mr. Stephens has a point regarding Mr. Scavino owing him an apology, the lack of which amounts to a professional slight to Mr. Stephens.

The New York Times, which employs Mr. Stephens, owes the entire country an apology and a change of behavior for their editorial actions which were criticized by Director Pompeo and General Thomas, which amount to violations of national security which put American and many other lives at great risk.

Mr. Stephens, whose focus on making this more about himself rather than our country, loses much credibility. His assumption that Pompeo and Thomas are being political rather than righteously indignant indicates to me that the ideology and behavior of Stephens' employer is rubbing off on him rapidly, and causing him to lose his former objectivity. How sad.
