There was a time when newspapers were respectable and reliable sources of information. We were treated to tales of Woodward and Bernstein chasing down a story doggedly. Journalists, according to the myth, would chase down a story no matter where it went and they were bound to a code of ethics that made their priority getting the "who, what, when, where and how" of a story right.
But sadly, they abandoned the pretense of objectivity and chose to show us who they really were.
Everyone knew since forever that the New York Times leaned left, but they were the gold standard of reporting - well according to their own fart-sniffing.
Remember a whole week ago when that country star Jason Aldean wrote a song that essentially called out the lawlessness of blue cities and by extension the Democratic leadership that literally puts the rights of violent criminals over the safety of their law-abiding citizens? Yeah, that really bothered them. So much so that they projected every bad motive onto Aldean. A tired yet effective tactic whenever liberal cultural dominance is threatened - and still owns the microphones.
Jason Aldean’s song “Try That in a Small Town,” which critics have described as a call to racist vigilantism, is the first No. 1 single on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in the country star’s career. Aldean denied that race plays any part in the song’s lyrics. https://t.co/cwbzZGX2Wb

Fun fact: "critics say" is a great way for journalists to inject themselves into a story. Ditto with "experts".
Anyway, this happened: the leader of South Africa's EFF party Julius Malema chanted a patriotic little song that featured this lyric, "Kill the Boer, kill the farmer".
Disgusting as that is, even more disgusting is the progressive media's reaction to it. The enlightened New York Times which was having the vapors about racist dogwhistles in Aldean's song were suddenly concerned with the nuance and running cover for a lyric that explicitly says "kill the Boer, kill the farmer". Oppression hierarchies, white supremacy and all that.
Thank goodness there is still a large swathe of Americans who still possess common sense and a working bullcrap meter.
So let's get this straight: Jason Aldean's "Try that in a Small Town" is a racist anthem, but the conservative response to the anti-white anthem "Kill the Boer" misses the context and it blown out of proportion. Typical for The New York Times. pic.twitter.com/LgWb2f2kzb

Yeah, we noticed.
The New York Times actually has the nerve to support calls for genocide! If ever there was a time to cancel that publication, it is now.

Elon noticed and now you can see why the so-called elites hate him.
This is fine, but Jason Aldean’s ‘Try that in a small town’ in an anthem for white supremacy? pic.twitter.com/AgxexU0D3H

“White lives matter” - hate speech

“It’s okay to be white” - hate speech
“Try that in a small town” - hate speech
“Kill the white farmers” - It’s just a chant
Welcome to the new world of fashionable hate.

As helpfully pointed out, this is not a new thing for the Times. Remember Sarah Jeong?
