Former Top Editor at New York Times Fights with Fox About Paper's Angry Town Hall Meeting

Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson appeared on the Fox News program America's Newsroom on Wednesday morning to defend the Times after angry staffers leaked a transcript to Slate of an internal "town hall" meeting that executive editor Dean Baquet had with employees. Abramson was effusive over how Baquet's position was perfect, that he spoke out for "independent" journalism that holds people accountable. But she wouldn't accept the way Fox hosts framed the transcript.
