Say, remember when the “journalists” at the New York Times lost their minds because the “newspaper” allowed Republican Senator Tom Cotton to publish an op-ed there. They actually forced the editorial page editor to step down.
Now, those same “journalists” are completely silent as the New York Times has just re-hired a Hitler supporting “journalist” to cover the Israel-Gaza situation. This news, on the other hand, has been met with:
Now, I know what you’re saying. C’mon Matt, the “journalist” didn’t really say they liked Hitler. Maybe they alluded to something that…
Oh. Yeah. Well…Maybe it was a one off and he doesn’t really believe that…
OK. The dude likes Hitler. Like, a lot.
And this is causing zero waves at the New York Times.
So let me get this straight. Tom Cotton is like Hitler but an actual Hitler supporting anti-semite is cool. Yeah, that sounds about right.
But I’ll admit this is all so strange because the New York Times was so virulently anti-Hitler that…oh, what’s that you say? The Times dismissed Hitler’s anti-semitism and downplayed it? No, that couldn’t be true. The New York Times is a respected newsp…..
1922 from the NY Times:
He (Hitler) is credibly credited with being actuated by lofty, unselfish patriotism. He probably does not know himself just what he wants to accomplish. The keynote of his propaganda in speaking and writing is violent anti-Semitism. His followers are nicknamed the “Hakenkreuzler.” So violent are Hitler’s fulminations against the Jews that a number of prominent Jewish citizens are reported to have sought safe asylums in the Bavarian highlands, easily reached by fast motor cars, whence they could hurry their women and children when forewarned of an anti-Semitic St. Bartholomew’s night.
But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler’s anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic, and in line for the time when his organization is perfected and sufficiently powerful to be employed effectively for political purposes.
A sophisticated politician credited Hitler with peculiar political cleverness for laying emphasis and over-emphasis on anti-Semitism, saying: “You can’t expect the masses to understand or appreciate your finer real aims. You must feed the masses with cruder morsels and ideas like anti-Semitism. It would be politically all wrong to tell them the truth about where you really are leading them.”
Yikes.
