TWO instances of the New York Times being terrible in one day? Eh, must be Tuesday… Never let it be said that the New York Times is guilty of civility and reasonable discourse.
When they aren’t accusing every husband in America of being worse than Islamic jihadists, the New York Times has decided to start tweeting PhotoShopped images of Trump’s White House staffers being horribly dismembered and disfigured. Because – JOURNALISM!
Check out this image of White House adviser Stephen Miller from the NYT Twitter feed –

And there are screenshots, just in case someone at the Times has a sudden attack of conscience and decides to delete the image (doubtful, but you never know) –
I’m taking a screenshot of this before someone at @nytimes with some sense and decency takes it down. Unreal. pic.twitter.com/Y8ObYETmgD

Sure, the image in question actually came from a segment on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” – but nobody was making the New York Times tweet it out with their article! Surely there were other less-death-threat-y images they could have chosen.
Good grief – can you imagine if a conservative news site did that with one of Obama’s advisers? The outcry would be DEAFENING. We’d get lectures on civility and respectful discourse and how “That’s Not Who We Are”(copyright, Barack Obama and the hypocritical Democrat Party).
But Stephen Miller? (Who, as I understand, basically ate every leftist media doofus’s lunch over the weekend.) Nah, he’s one of Donald Trump’s guys. He’s fair game! Put his head on a spike! It’s FUNNY! Peasants, why aren’t you laughing??
Dear NYT – If you have to ask that question, you’ve got nothing of importance to say to ANYONE.
If you’ll excuse me, I’ll just be over here watching the New York Times continue to implode upon itself.
