'OMFG SHUT UP': New York Times HAMMERED over call to hear from Trump voters

Remember last April when The New York Times switchboard reportedly was slammed with cancellation calls after the initial offering by “conservative” columnist Bret Stephens, who dared caution against “claiming total certainty about [climate] science,” even though he added the caveat, “None of this is to deny climate change or the possible severity of its consequences.” That didn’t matter to outraged readers, though.

Then it happened again in November when actress Debra Messing allegedly canceled her subscription … all because the paper ran a profile of Ben Shapiro.

Now, The New York Times is getting hammered again after tweeting an open call for Trump voters to get in touch.

Did you vote for Donald Trump for president? We’d like to hear from you. #NYTLetters https://t.co/0SMcE48jrg

Is the president performing as you hoped, or has he fallen short? Whatever outcome the Times is hoping for, readers have heard enough from Trump voters from the “right-leaning” New York Times. Check out the butthurt:

Man – I’d love to see a story about some of the 65MM who voted for Hilary who are of the “We fucking told you” or “He’s worse than imagined” persuasion. https://t.co/qGmZVM7WYO

Are you kidding me? The constant focus on Trump voters is one of the many post-election reasons that I actually canceled my subscription to the NYT. I no longer care what any DT voter thinks and refuse to pay some two-bit rag to hear about them. #WashingtonPostIsBetter https://t.co/AZePx4TQJ8

I really feel like the @nytimes is just trolling the country at the point. https://t.co/WH5rs8gq0P

@nytimes pandering to Trump voters. Again. If you’re subscribing to #NYT, might I suggest you reconsider? https://t.co/1X2LTrz1Ts

The New York Times — the same paper that, the month before the election, ran a full, two-page spread chronicling “every insult Donald J. Trump has made on Twitter since declaring his candidacy” — is pandering to Trump voters again.

Think we've heard enough from these ignorant people who brought this idiot President upon us. Stop giving them voice. They voted for him because he is a racist misogynistic ahole. Exactly what they were looking for. Enough already. Focus on kids/families losing healthcare. https://t.co/xEjhlAM9oR

Because there certainly isn’t a deluge of Trump voter profiles…. https://t.co/EbzSmctphb

They've interviewed every last trump voter but don't understand why they can't find any damn more of them. Geezus. https://t.co/9Z1C9l0ooh

Why do you love Trump so much? He won’t stop calling you Fake News no matter how much you kiss his nasty ass. https://t.co/EpAU5ecPUt

Seriously, @nytopinion? Again with this? The majority of us are well-past tired of hearing what Trump voters think. 3 million more of us voted against him than for him, so why not ask us what we think? And why not write about real news instead? Like GOP voter suppression tactics. https://t.co/Nyc1xEndrr

I’ve been a subscriber for 25 years. I’ve heard enough from Trump voters over the last year, thanks. Enough already. https://t.co/t1C30Gjhbw

WHY DO YOU CARE?! Why do we need twenty fluff pieces about why 30% of the people in middle America screwed over the rest of us? Puerto Rico still has no power, Flint still has no water, and the idiot in chief is holding fake awards shows!

Who fucking cares @nytopinion?? Not this reader. Interview the voters who voted for a Dem in Alabama. Interview families impacted by DACA and the Haitian- and Salvadoran-American families whose relatives are being deported. Interview EVERY LAST Puerto Rican! https://t.co/xMk52wxJia
