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.
The New York Times (@nytimes) ~ 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.

There is absolutely NOTHING in the lyrics of Aldean's song that is even remotely racist.
Try That In A Small Town
By Jason Aldean
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough
Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck
Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Full of good ol' boys, raised up right
If you're looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town
Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town
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."
"Boers" ~ descendants of the Dutch-speaking Free Burghers of the eastern Cape frontier in Southern Africa (i.e., white South Africans). The name is derived from "boer," which means "farmer" in Dutch and Afrikaans
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.
Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) ~ 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.

Elon Musk (@elonmusk) ~ 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.
You can read their articles for free anyway using http://removepaywall.com.
Elon noticed and now you can see why the so-called elites hate him.
End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~
“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.
Fashionable, woketard hate - championed by Democrats.

A helpful visual illustration.
charmane harbert (@callme_Chari) ~ NY Times is known for supporting racism.
As helpfully pointed out, this is not a new thing for the Times. Remember Sarah Jeong?

OK, just one more visual.
