The Onion wins again
@ErikUden ugh this makes me so angry

@ErikUden
Well that reeks of the “he died *with* Covid, not *of* it, because he had heart disease” crap the same sort of people have been pushing since 2020. Assholes.

E: not referring to The Onion (jic)

@pomegranate_stew @ErikUden or "this victim of police brutality had drugs in their system"

@ErikUden

The new york times is a zombie paper.

A coup paper, part of the billionaire conspiracy. Part of the Trump coup.

Its sad. Lots of memories. But it uis no more, and this thing will bite you, like it does here. This madness is cancer that has destroyed it.

@ErikUden

Its pretty exposing and depressing. The NY times is shit. Contagious designed madness. The NYTimes is brainwashing by professionals. Its harms you to read it. Harms us all.

@ErikUden That pre-existing condition was Israel the whole time.

@xinit @ErikUden Cerebral Palsy actually.

NYT got called out by some hate monger for bad reporting because the kid has CP and so was already pretty fucked up. NYT acknowledged this and basically said, "Yeah, turns out he does and the starvation hasn't helped."

Not sure what they're supposed to do in this situation...pretend the kid doesn't have CP? Not issue a correction and just let this hate monger keep calling them liars?

@crazyeddie
The pre-existing condition thing feels like such an American thing, like it somehow excuses things.

While a child being starved to death is already infinitely bad, a kid with cerebral palsy being starved to death seems worse.

The reactions, calling the original report blood libel, etc. this is off the charts. A child died, but no, it's only about anti-Semitism because Israel didn't kill 100% of one child.

@ErikUden

@xinit @ErikUden Yeah. I don't know. When the cops kill some black dude and they find out he did some sort of drug at some point that day or earlier all the sudden it's, "OH, he shouldn't have been doing that," not, "That's why cops need to be extra careful."

Maybe NYT should have mentioned the new fact and then tore into the fuckers making a thing of it. I didn't read the original article because NYT is paywall and that's where they did most the "correction"--maybe what's there is better.

@crazyeddie
Being the NYT, I wouldn't hold my breath that it's any better there.

I hear RFK Jr caught his brain worm by eating pages of the New York Times he’d scavenged from the road.
