The New York Times is often quick to break big news in the world of journalism, but a recent mishap involving one of their own writers is expected to be spared coverage by the legendary newspaper.

Times science and health reporter Don McNeil sent out a scathing email to around 150 of his colleagues at the paper last month, and a copy obtained by the website Gawker reveals that the writer is, to say the least, not that amused with the recent antics of the paper’s publisher.

In McNeil’s rant as revealed by Gawker, the writer attackers Times’ publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. for fleeing the country during dismal times for the paper, leaving the rest of his staff to set sail on a “ghost ship.”
