The Caliphate podcast has caused a massive fallout for the Times which appeared to culminate December when it acknowledged that it had been misled in the production of the series by Canadian-Pakistani man Shehroze Chaudhry, 25, who had fabricated his story of working as an ISIS executioner. Have a tip or story idea? Mills had faced previous backlash over claims of misconduct in the workplace, including references in a New York Magazine article that reported he had been the subject of complaints during his time at 'Radiolab'. A group of more than 20 public radio stations nationwide have condemned the New York Times and the host of its hit podcast The Daily for their handling of the of the audio series Caliphate, NPR’s David Folkenflik reports. In a letter sent to the New York Times Audio division, the Public Radio Program Directors Association said it had to question the paper's decisions as they needed to ensure their programming upheld 'the high standards that our listeners expect'. 'And I think that I or somebody else should have provided that same kind of scrutiny … and I did not provide that kind of scrutiny, nor did my top deputies with deep experience in examining investigative reporting. In her lengthy resignation letter addressed to publisher A.G. Sulzberger, Weiss claimed that intellectual curiosity and risk-taking was now a 'liability' at the Times. The letter from members of the Public Radio Program Directors Association, sent late on Jan. 11, reportedly focused less on Caliphate’s mishandling of its main subject, and more on Daily host Michael Barbaro’s behind-the-scenes efforts to pressure journalists to limit criticism of the Caliphate retraction, which NPR first reported. Yet in his letter, Mills claimed that the original allegations and his 'past mistakes' had been added to with 'gross exaggerations and baseless claims'. When the caliphate was proclaimed, ISIL stated: "The legality of all emirates, groups, states and organisations becomes null by the expansion of the khilafah's [caliphate's] authority and the arrival of its troops to their areas." Also on Dec. 18, Barbaro interviewed Times executive editor Dean Baquet about the retraction, but the interview was added only to the Caliphate feed, not The Daily.

'We grew up with a certain history and now they're trying to change our history. Monica … Revisionist history,' Trump claimed. Yet, the Times found that the podcast, launched in 2018, dropped far short of the paper's standards following widespread failings, right up to senior management. While Callimachi has been reassigned within the Times, the letter questioned why Mills, at the time, was being given 'greater visibility'. As a journalist, it has been especially discouraging and upsetting to see fellow journalists make such claims or retweet them. Michael Barbaro is seen to have pressured some reporters and radio stations over coverage of issues with another NYT podcast, overseen by his fiancée. ', In a resignation letter posted to his website on Friday, audio producer at the Times Andy Mills claimed that he was stepping down not due to the problems with Caliphate, but because of the stories now being shared about his 'past personal conduct' (as pictured above), Mills claims he remains proud of the team that produced Caliphate, Mills claimed that the original allegations and his 'past mistakes' had been added to with 'gross exaggerations and baseless claims', as pictured in his resignation letter above.

The letter had also raised concerns over the presence of Mills, highlighting that several women had come forward during his time at WNYC. He said that after being cautioned for his conduct in WNYC, when he joined the Times in 2016, he 'was open with my bosses and colleagues about this experience and what I'd learned from it'. 'The entire experience has been extraordinarily painful. The letter added that the Times' decisions on Barbaro and Mills were 'not just tone deaf' but 'blind to the current landscape in which we now exist'.
