In reply to the discussion: NYT covering Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" remark vs NYT covering Donald Trump's "vermin" remark. [View all]LetMyPeopleVote
(152,095 posts)83. Again you seem to like being WRONG
The false equivalence is being done by TFG supporters and the NYT. You seem to like that rag and has defended the NYT as being a reputable source of information. Every other major reputable paper have called out TFG for using Nazi slogans. The NYT and TFG supporters are okay with this.
It is okay for TFG to be spouting off Nazi slogans? Do you approve of these slogans? Why are you defending the NYT? Should a real newspaper call out the use of this language?
Here are some more facts on this issue

Joe Scarborough and Jon Meacham sounded the alarm Monday morning when they equated campaign rhetoric from former President Donald Trump to fascist rulers of the 1930s and the Third Reich.
During a weekend rally, Trump reiterated his Veterans Day pledge he posted on Truth Social that read: In honor of our great Veterans on Veterans (sic) Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, lie, steal, and cheat on Elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and the American dream.
Mondays Morning Joe aired several of Trumps more unhinged rants, ending with this comment, which led Scarborough to react in a manner that pleases the viewers that tune in for his keen anti-Trump insights.

Again, I urge you to re-read this thread and explain to us why the NYT thinks that there is an equivalence here? If possible, try using some facts and do not rely on your non-expert opinion on these issues.

FWIW, I've lived long enough to agree with you 100% about the NYT. It's always the "Judas" of the 'liberal' media.

As you suggest, the NYT has a history of blindering the reading public, e.g. during the holocaust

And here's the New Republic also calling out Trump's use of the term and pointing out how it's "straight-up Nazi talk."

Jarringly illogical: You blame the DNC for NYT's blatantly biased headlines.
