New York Times Rehires Hitler Praising Reporter - Iowahawk Rips as Only Iowahawk Can

For those of you just tuning in from home, the New York Times hired, then fired and then rehired a journalist who just happened to praise Hitler. No biggie, right? After all the Times had no problem with the hateful to the point of disturbed Sarah Jeong. So what’s a little genocide between friends?

Megyn Kelly and Emily Zanotti provide the background.

Just in case you’re thinking, nah … no way … maybe the reporter is being misinterpreted… he literally posted “How great you are, Hitler” in 2012 and then doubled down a few years ago. https://t.co/LkSFL4mjLg

We now live in a time where you can attack people fighting child trafficking and support brutal terrorism and it’s all good if you’re sufficiently progressive, so we’re not too surprised. Besides, the New York Times is really The Nation but for people who have a home in the Hamptons.

The thing about this absurd era, is that every absurdity comes out ripe and ready for mockery. And who better than the Iowahawk, David Burge to handle it.

They sent him to HR for the standard 15 minute DEI PowerPoint “don’t praise Hitler on Facebook” training session and he scored 78% on the quiz, so it’s all good now https://t.co/wJrVzDq3GO

If you work at a big company you know exactly what he’s talking about.
