Liberals are angry at The New York Times again because the newspaper published a pro-Stephen Miller opinion piece on Holocaust Memorial Day.
Ross Douthat wrote an opinion piece for NYT on Saturday arguing that liberals should negotiate immigration policy with White House policy adviser Stephen Miller.
Miller is Jewish, but liberals claimed it was insensitive for the NYT to publish a pro-Miller piece on Holocaust Memorial Day because of his tough stances on immigration.
“F*** you @nytimes for publishing this article… from those in my family whose voices were silenced during the Holocaust,” Nadine Vander Velde tweeted.
F*** you @nytimes for publishing this article on #HolocaustMemorialDay from me & from those in my family whose voices were silenced during the Holocaust.
Shame on you! https://t.co/Kapzruj1q8— nadinevanderVelde (@nadinevdVelde) January 28, 2018
“NYT is now a white supremacist paper,” Sarah Kendzior, an opinion writer for The Globe and Mail said. “The multiple Nazi puff pieces, constant pro-Trump PR, and praise for Miller on today of all days is not exceptional — it’s the guiding ideology of the paper.”

“If you have a conscience, and you value truth, cancel the NYT,” she continued.
There is no other major US paper I’d say that about, BTW. There’s no other major paper I’d encourage people to flat-out cancel. But if you have a conscience, and you value truth, cancel the NYT. #Unsubscribe

What the fuck is going on over there at The Times? It’s like one day you’ll publish the “Moonlight” of all op-eds and the next day you’ll ruin it with this “Baywatch” trash. I’m so confused. pic.twitter.com/2GTEEm23Mz

“If I didn’t need my times subscription for work, I’d cancel that shit,” another writer said.
Clearly. I can’t. If I didn’t need my times subscription for work, I’d cancel that shit

in the most charitable reading of this column, the argument is “hey, there are a lot of white racists and is really such a bad thing if we negotiate immigration with them?” https://t.co/OnrEZ6MxeU

How many tweets does it take to explain why it was okay to normalize white supremacy?
I don’t think there are enough.

NYT just published a piece called “The Necessity of Stephen Miller”, but this is how a champion of reproductive rights is framed. https://t.co/CVtdbBcfy6

NYT keeps sinking lower & lower & lower…

Done with NY Times, they’ve gone off the rails. I hope they enjoy their descent into Breitbartism
