Well, what do you know? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Just when you thought the lefties at the NYT were simply hateful and intolerant, they’ve exposed themselves as being dummies, too! Now that is truly the hat trick of horribles and it couldn’t belong to a more deserving bunch of pipsqueaks!

They’ve exposed themselves as dummies before. This isn’t the first time by any means. The entire Russia collusion hoax, the Duke frat rape case, the Clarence Thomas hearings, and more.

This had my 30-something son horrified. But then again one remembers what Obama’s guy, Ben Rhodes said about the ignorance of the press. It is worse that the editors pick the headlines and presumably someone that went to Harvard and TAUGHT at the Kennedy Center for gov’t at Harvard would know better. Maybe he relied on AI?

Of course, our so called allies in NATO have shown their true colors in the last 10 days or so. Like babies whining to be fed at the American teat with oil, support for the military “adventures” in Ukraine (whilst enriching the purported adversary, Russia, by buying oil and gas from them). Faithless allies—“Et tu, Brute?”

So smart that they've taught themselves to be ignorant.

However, the slip sort of reveals the truth, doesn’t it? NATO wasn’t there for us in the little things first time that we asked. It might as well stand for “America” since we provide the lion’s share of financial, defense, AND seem to be the only reliable party in the damn thing. Maybe it was a Freudian slip. Lol

You and Trump seem to forget than when 9/11 happened, NATO stepped forward and offered their complete resources to President Bush.

Gee I wonder what could have changed 🤔🙄

This mistake wasn’t a complete accident. More than one person was completely enamored with the apparent (but untrue) conflict in that headline. It highlights two facts about modern journalists:

First, they love conflict. I was once interviewed about one of my hobbies. I mentioned a minor disagreement in the culture. Guess what became the principle part of the story?

Second, they love playing with words. In part this is because they think they can alter and control reality. But it is also due to a childish sense of play that is worthy outside politics.

Denis Sanders's avatar

Oh, brother. They made a harmless little headline glitch and immediately corrected it. I am sure that this little event will not counterbalance the record over 145 Pultizer Prizes and counting that The New York Times has. Mountain out of a molehill.

I just visited my local Cub store to pick up a medication and a few articles for supper.

Every one of the employees wished me a Happy Easter, and the other shoppers were smiling at one another.

I felt close to my neighbors and wholly accepted by the people around me.

Regardless of one's religion, today is a day of unity.

God bless America.

I assume by the store name you’re in Minnesota. Greetings to you from just over the line in Manitoba and Happy Easter.

I’m spending this Easter as a reborn Christian, closing out years of cynicism and embracing what has made Western civilization great - the fundamental truth that human dignity is the key to our existence and bestowed on us by God. Thank you for your wonderful writings Sasha. I feel blessed to have found your work.

I was just reading Colossians yesterday: Paul talks of "Joy in hardships and immense struggles" (paraphrased) and

Colossians 1:27 "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the non-Jews; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:". This verse reveals the "mystery" that Christ dwelling (by way of God's spirit - the Holy Spirit) within believers is the foundation and assurance of future eternal glory.

DEI in the newsroom .

(Or maybe a Brown University grad with a really crappy education.)

mrdoug1's avatar

I think your second sentence applies to many, many Brown grads.

Robert Iadicicco's avatar

Probably a Brown University grad with a really crappy education working from home in their onesies, in bed.

How ironic is it that NATO really SHOULD stand for “North AMERICAN Treaty Organization” considering the spineless cowardice of the European member nations…

Kurt's avatar

There are two kinds of Europeans and these two categories capture all their political leaders: feckless cowards and spineless weasels.

And now it seems a Muslim is the head of the Church of England.

Once something appears on the internet it NEVER goes away. The NYT has had to eat crow for their desire to take something to print before all the FACTS are in. And with, or in this case WITHOUT, true knowledge on the primary subject. Not to mention the lack of editing. You would think that SOMEONE proof reading these articles would catch these idiotic mistakes.

Thankfully, for those of us who loathe rags like the NYT, they show the entire world just how stupid they are and we get to laugh at them on the regular.

Indeed!

This Wednesday, Trump delivered some off-the-cuff remarks to an audience in the White House. It's not clear exactly who was in the audience (beyond several members of the Cabinet). At a glance it looks like a press conference, but the press was actually not allowed. Anyhow, the White House posted video of the hour-long session to its website and to YouTube, and then shortly thereafter... disappeared it.

It's not too hard to figure out some of the reasons that someone decided the footage was not a great look for the administration and why it was removed but NENER goes away:

Trump's spiritual adviser was there, and spoke, and during her remarks she said the President is very much like Jesus Christ, and that is why Trump's enemies are trying to crucify him. Not sure if she spoke in tongues as she’s apt in his presence.

Trump slammed several European leaders, most notably France's Emanuel Marcon, whom the President declared to be a victim of spousal abuse, even tho the little ladies Brigitte and Mel love on each other in the Mel horror movie currently on Netflix Flix.

He also slammed people who would dare to make fun of Erika Kirk, and advised her that she should "sue their ass off."

He reflected on the extent to which he is, or is not, a king.

Trump alluded to the speech on Iran that he would make later in the day, and said, "basically, I am going to tell everybody how great I am." That was framed as a little bit of good-natured humor, but it feels like a "joking, not joking" situation, especially because he did go on to give a speech in which he told everyone how great he is.

Trump is a master at pushing people's buttons and getting a rise out of them. There isn't a thing he says that can't be twisted to mean what someone wants you to believe it means. Trump does have a sarcastic sense of humor and that gets him in a lot of trouble regularly.

MichaelH: Storyteller's avatar

There are plenty of times I wish he would keep his trap shut. There are things he has said that rub MY fur the wrong way. But, who am I to judge? I can be just as sarcastic at times and it gets me in trouble because it is misunderstood.

Happy Easter! My husband is getting confirmed in the Catholic Church tomorrow. We've been married 28 years.

There is a joke that NATO means Needs Americans To Operate. So based on the NYT, we should push for an official name change. I would prefer simple withdrawal.

Brandy's avatar

I'm just happy they have finally shown the world what most of us have known for a long time. They are ignorant and truly believe history started the day they were born.

Yesterday was Maundy Thursday, which commemorates the Last Supper, which many think of as Jesus hosting a Passover meal. When I was a kid, I thought it was called Monday Thursday, which was confusing. I've attended a Christian seder, which is fascinating, as there are so many symbols in that ceremony that comport with our Christian faith, i.e. the matzo crackers are striped, which can refer to the passage in Isaiah "By his stripes we are healed." And lots of other cool stuff. There would be no Christianity without Judaism. After all, Jesus was a first century Jew.

I stopped reading the NYT 15 years ago when I fully appreciated that the paper is just a self affirming mouthpiece for Upper East Manhattan limousine liberals.

Happy Easter. He is risen!

See on YouTube “Jesus Vindicated” by Tim Keller.

NYT is basically Huffpo at this point. I would bet money most of the fired HP "writers" are now there. I just scroll the headlines and laugh. Don't get me started on their videos too.

Erlanger won a Pulitzer for Russia 2017. Doesn't he mean for Russia Russia Russia in 2017, aka, the Russia/Trump hoax? I thought he gave that back. Just kidding, he did not.

Here is a fantastic piece on Jesus’s last words on the Cross:

Biblically, the debt that sinful humanity owes a righteous God was literally settled, as in a monetary debt, with the death of Jesus—perfect sinless man, fully human and fully God.

What an incredible gift, given freely! That is the essence of Good Friday to me.

Thankful for you, Sasha!
