Many of the conservatives writing about this on Twitter are LITERALLY PAID to spread propaganda. They’re attacking the NYT out of bad faith— they know that it makes them and their donors look bad.

Another prominent* conservative whining aboot this on Twitter is at the Federalist- a propanda outlet that loses money and is kept afloat by undisclosed donors, most likely rightwing billionaires like other rightwing media.


* prominent only because he’s propped up by billionaire dollars. He’s a mediocrity who’d have no platform without conservative donors.

If the big concern here were really about honoring the sacrifices made by Union soldiers to liberate the slaves, we’d be tearing down every Confederate statue still standing, but instead we’re yelling at black New York Times writers, so. https://t.co/QZUGLLBnWu
