Steven F. Hayward tweeted, "So, the New York Times is trying to put the Babylon Bee out of business."

"One of the running gags is that the New York Times runs stories on things it sees as pending disasters from the angle of how it may affect certain groups. "World ends, woman and minorities hardest hit."

"Surely its headline writers know this. Its editors should but their abandonment of all appearance of objectivity in the Donald John Trump era is proof they are clueless.

"And so it headlined a story by its gender reporter, Alisha Haridasani Gupta, "With Brexit Looming, Experts Worry Women May Be Hit Hardest."

"Maybe the copy desk hates her. Maybe the copy desk is run by racists and misogynists. Maybe the copy desk wanted to get back at her for cutting an office donut in half and abandoning one half. Whatever the reason, "women may be hit hardest" is a dog whistle for "this column is stupid." And they labeled it.

"("Hit hardest" instead of "hardest hit" maybe a dodge around a computer program that automatically rejects any headline that ends with "hardest hit.")

"So what did she write? Exactly what a normal person would expect from a gender reporter." . . .

Thus far, Brexit has cost only one woman her job: former Prime Minister Theresa May.

 THE NEW YORK TIMES NEVER DISAPPOINTS!  . . . It’s like they’re trying to put the Babylon Bee out of business or something.

"Meanwhile, the Times has announced its endorsement for president. Big surprise: they have endorsed a Democrat. As they have for the last 50+ years. But wait—they’ve actually endorsed two Democrats: Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren. The Times is calling it a “break with convention,” but it is exactly the opposite: clearly they cannot endorse a white male, no matter how experienced or qualified. Nothing is more conventional for liberalism today than the default to identity politics.
"The Times endorsement essay offers some wonderful comedy writing, such as: “Senator Warren is a gifted storyteller.” Did no one at the Times pause for a moment to ponder how true this is?
"And this passage about Klobuchar is fun: “Reports of how Senator Klobuchar treats her staff give us pause. They raise serious questions about her ability to attract and hire talented people.” Well, New York Times editorial writers obviously don’t have to worry about finding out first hand."
