#CancelNYT标签在周四下午开始在Twitter上流行，因为成千上万的美国人对《纽约时报》将特朗普举报人确定为CIA官员的决定感到愤怒，并呼吁人们取消对报纸的订阅。
举报人于周四公开发布了一份长达9页的正式投诉，指控白宫掩盖了特朗普与乌克兰总统沃洛德米尔·泽伦斯基（Volodymyr Zelensky）7月之间的通话，在此期间，美国总统要求其外国同行调查他的2020年竞争对手前副总统乔·拜登的儿子亨特·拜登。
众议院议长南希·佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi）周二宣布，有关举报人担忧的报道引发了公众愤慨，并最终引发了投诉，并发布了特朗普与泽伦斯基之间的电话保护摘要，以及对特朗普的正式弹each调查。
白宫周三发布的部分笔录证明，美国总统确实要求乌克兰协助调查其政治对手，甚至还提供了自己的司法部长来协助调查。
在今天早些时候发表的一篇文章中，《泰晤士报》将举报人确定为CIA的一名男军官，此前曾向白宫详细介绍过。该报告基于三个未透露姓名的消息来源的佐证，构成了迄今为止举报人的最详细描述。然而，他的名字仍然是公众所不知道的。
成千上万的美国人去推特，敦促人们取消对该报道的订阅。有些人还提醒读者，该报纸近几个月来做出的其他可疑的编辑决定。截至周四晚上，主题标签#CancelNYT升至美国社交媒体平台上第三大热门话题。
在Twitter上最近出现的许多与政治相关的主题标签中，＃CancelNYT是为数不多的受到自由派和保守派支持的标签之一，尽管出于不同的原因。“我给了@nytimes和@deanbaquet这样的：他们能够团结共和党和民主党围绕一个共同的事业#CancelNYT，”一个用户啾啾。
在争议中，一位《泰晤士报》撰文人敦促订户三思而后行，以结束在报纸上的帐目。“在您#CancelNYT之前，请重新考虑。” NYT的Wajahat Ali发推文。“它雇用了出色的新闻记者，并打破了重要的故事。它也受到特朗普及其支持者的直接攻击。我为他们撰稿，但我也公开不同意某些决定，例如今天的决定。但是，好处远大于坏处。”
“特朗普：我想错误地指责中央公园5号强奸案，并公开呼吁其处决。纽约时报：这是一整页的广告空间。特朗普：我想将所有举报人当作叛国间谍执行。纽约时报：这是举报人。#CancelNYT ”，美国外科医生尤金·古（Eugene Gu）是特朗普在Twitter上最直言不讳的批评家之一。
“ Dean Baquet绝对应该为此失去工作。很快。告密者的安全已经受到损害，但是@nytimes必须谴责这一决定，以保护将来的消息来源和告密者。这不能作为可接受的先例。＃CancelNYT，” Twitter用户@KristinMinkDC写道。
歌手斯嘉丽·拉贝（Scarlett Rabe）在推特上说：“我之所以选择#CancelNYT订阅，是因为他们很乐意为坏演员们喝水。我一直在提醒我们，结束NYTimes订阅是正确的选择。” “他们是同谋，很大程度上归咎于我们发现自己和我们的民主制度陷入困境。”
“马克·费尔特（Mark Felt）的身份是30多年的秘密。尼克松去世11年后，费尔特（英语：Felt）享年91岁，迈出了第一步。暴露政府腐败是危险的。无论谁做英雄。纽约时报都将举报人丢下了特朗普的公共汽车。“ CancelNYT ”，Twitter用户@ XX7Atticus写道。
Twitter用户@mynameisNegan写道：“导致#CancelNYT的原因：-谎称伊拉克大规模杀伤性武器-出版了反犹太人漫画-雇用了反犹太人作家-在政治上具有企业影响力-发布举报人的名字。等等。”引用Noam Chomsky的话。
“如果@deanbaquet辞职，我敢打赌#CancelNYT将停止趋势发展……因为他们将来会做出更好的决定，”作者Grant Stern发推文说。
“如果您#CancelNYT，请在您当地的报纸，NPR，独立周刊或新闻网站上为像我这样的独立记者提供支持。请支持将国家放在首位的记者。我们中有些人在2016年（及之前）报道了真相，但没有参与仅限白人受众”，Twitter用户@VABVOX写道。
“ @deanbaquet的借口是#CancelNYT趋于流行的原因。宴会错误地表示，我们必须危害@CIA官员的生命，才能了解@realDonaldTrump是否滥用了他的权力。这似乎是有问题的。不是。我们拥有总统的权力。 OWN TRANSCRIPT。我们所需要的，” Twitter用户@LouiseMensch写道。
Twitter用户@ BellaAugust4写道：“你是对的。我们需要支持严肃，严打的新闻。《华盛顿邮报》今天仅以30美元的价格出售数字闪存。＃CancelNYT，”。
#CANCELNYT TRENDS AS AMERICANS SLAM THE NEW YORK TIMES FOR OUTING TRUMP WHISTLEBLOWER AS CIA OFFICER
The hashtag #CancelNYT began trending on Twitter on Thursday afternoon as tens of thousands of Americans—outraged over the New York Times' decision to identify the Trump whistleblower as a CIA officer—called on people to cancel their subscriptions with the newspaper.
A whistleblower filed a formal nine-page complaint—released publicly on Thursday—that accused the White House of covering up a phone call made between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in July, during which the U.S. president asked his foreign counterpart to investigate his 2020 rival former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
Reports about the whistleblower's concerns sparked public outrage and eventually led to the complaint and a summary of the phone conservation between Trump and Zelensky being released, as well as a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump, announced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday.
The partial transcript, released by the White House on Wednesday, proved that the U.S. president did ask Ukraine for assistance in investigating his political opponent and that he even offered his own Attorney General to help in the probe.
In an article published earlier today, the Times identified the whistleblower as a male CIA officer who had previously been detailed to the White House. The report is based off the corroborated accounts of three unnamed sources and amounts to the most detailed description of the whistleblower to date. His name, however, remains unknown to the public.
Tens of thousands of Americans took to Twitter to urge people to cancel their subscriptions to the newspaper over the report. Some also reminded readers of the newspaper's other questionable editorial decisions made in recent months. As of Thursday evening, the hashtag #CancelNYT rose to the third most-trending topic on the social media platform in the United States.
Of the many politics-related hashtags that have trended on Twitter as of late, #CancelNYT is one of the few that has received support from both liberals and conservatives, albeit for different reasons. "I'll give the @nytimes and @deanbaquet this: they were able to unite Republicans and Democrats around a common cause. #CancelNYT," one user tweeted.
Amid the controversy, one Times writer urged subscribers to think twice before ending their accounts with the newspaper. "Before you #CancelNYT, please reconsider," NYT's Wajahat Ali tweeted. "It employs fantastic journalists & breaks important stories. It's also under direct assault from Trump & his supporters. I write for them but I also publicly disagree w/ some decisions, like today's. Yet, the good far outweighs the bad."
