Dan Froomkin /
@froomkin: This thing from Wil Lewis is not a “conciliatory” memo, as per NYT story. He's basically saying: I will engage in some performative listening and you will understand me better. There is no apology, no actual humility. Just a desire to move on. No dice. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Dan Froomkin /
@froomkin: Lewis quotes two kiss-ass emails, the “negative” one ending “we are rooting for you.” He has no idea how badly he has lost the newsroom. Also, self-congratulatory humility is not a thing. Also, you can't say “bygones” when you should be saying “bye”.
