"In the end of the day, the reason that I left The New York Times is that yes because I was being bullied, yes because I couldn't do my job, both true things, but ultimately it was because I really believe that the fight for liberalism, and I don't mean that in the partisan sense but I mean [the values], that is more important than any amount of popularity, than any amount of accolades on Twitter, than anything else. Than anything else. And so I had to leave the institution in order to fight for liberalism. And that I see as the mission of my life, I guess you can say."
