Adam Rubenstein, a former New York Times opinion editor, faced backlash from his colleagues for expressing his liking for Chick-fil-A sandwiches, leading to a broader controversy. His colleagues' reaction, which included snapping their fingers in unison at him, sparked debates about intolerance among elites, as noted by Jenny Holland. The incident, initially doubted by some, was later confirmed to have occurred, vindicating Rubenstein. Hannah Jones was fact-checked over the controversy, highlighting the skepticism it faced. The controversy was highlighted in various media outlets, including an essay by Rubenstein in the Atlantic and investigations by journalists like Erik Wemple. It was noted that left-leaning journalists and left-wing media criticism insisted the story was fake, but it was confirmed.

Look, after this hate chicken sandwich thing with the New York Times, and after comparing it to the Kavanaugh thing, I’m beginning to think that maybe some leftist regime media types aren’t acting in good faith. There, I said it.
