Remember how Bari Weiss was forced out by the #woke[1]From Wikipedia: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from … Continue reading of The New York Times? Remember how the #woke at the Times decided that the Grey Lady, long a supporter of the First Amendment, no longer thought Freedom of Speech was such a great idea?
Well, I spotted two tweets from the Times this morning, which showed that the very much anti-misogynistic they are:
This is actually a full sized screen capture of a promoted Tweet, promoted meaning that the Times paid Twitter to send it out; if you click on the image, it will take you to the original, at least if the Times doesn’t delete it. The Times is using the naked legs of a a reasonably thin white woman in the shower as clickbait. It was originally sent out at 12:35 PM EDT on May 28, 2021, but it’s paid-for status is evidenced by the fact it appeared on my Twitter feed this morning.
But, it wasn’t the only one:
Same thing: a screencap with the link embedded, in case the Times deletes it, this time using a cute bikinied white girl as the clickbait. The non-misogynistic editors of the Times apparently couldn’t find a picture of a male diver.
Oops, that’s wrong: in the article they had five photos used as illustrations, a male diver, tourists near Cebu Island in the Philippines feeding whale sharks in 2019, tourists hand feeding dolphins in western Australia, tourists photographing loggerhead turtles in Greece, and a video of green turtle’s view of feeding by tourists in the Bahamas.
What isn’t in the article is the photo used in the tweet. Normally, when you use Twitter to link an article, it will pick out one of the photos in the article to use, usually the first one. For this tweet to have the photo of the bikinied diver, it had to have been added manually by someone.
And here I thought that it was us evil-reich wing conservatives who were the sexist pigs! Do you think that maybe, just maybe, the left were trying to fool us?

I shall confess to sometimes “ironic usage” of the term. To put it bluntly, I think that the ‘woke’ are just boneheadedly stupid. |
