As Twitchy reported, The New York Times showed off its patented Jew Tracking technology today in a piece about congressional Democrats who oppose the Iran Deal.
Guess they didn’t appreciate being called out on their thinly veiled anti-Semitism, because the article looks a little different than it used to:

For what it’s worth, the NYT’s deputy Washington editor doesn’t think there was anything wrong with the piece:
@davidfolkenflik @OKnox I take responsibility, wanted to examine what was motivating few Dems opposed to the deal. I am not self-hating Jew

@OKnox @davidfolkenflik It is an informative graphic & I'm stunned by response. Chill out, people. You've never used a yellow highlighter?

@Yair_Rosenberg @MtthwRose As I said, I take responsibility for graphic & don't apologize. We kept data, just put it into intro. I'm Jewish

And that’s supposed to make it OK, Mr. Weisman? Sorry, but that’s not gonna fly.
@jonathanweisman @Yair_Rosenberg @MtthwRose If there's no need for an apology, then why'd you change it? And change it w/out notation?

Great questions.
Nice try making your creepy Jew tracker disappear down the memory hole, guys. And not acknowledging you got rid of it is pret-tay slick. Too bad for you that the internets never forget:

And word to the wise: If you’re going to try to cover up your boneheadedness, you might as well cover up all of it:

@Yair_Rosenberg … but left the column for Jewish constituents. It's still disgusting. @Sulliview

We look forward to watching the Times dig themselves even further into this hole.
@Yair_Rosenberg @redsteeze deleting doesn't make up for them appealing to the anti semitic dual loyalty canard in the first place
