A few minutes ago I was reading the article linked below and thinking, "I wonder if Mark or Nikto will be stupid enough to defend this cartoon?" and then "No fucking way, even those rocket surgeons aren't that fucking insipidly stupid."
Just in general, journalists should avoid portraying and mocking the kids of politicians, including the kids of Hispanic politicians, as dancing monkeys. Does this really need to be said to Pulitzer Prize-winning elites? I guess so.
Or:
I’m not a Ted Cruz apologist, but could you imagine if Sasha and Malia were depicted this way? Not cool.
What I really am salivating over here though - is how unabashedly Nikto is defending a cartoon that he would at the same time attack as racist if used against ANY minority Democrat/Progressive. Full stop.
Further as long as Mark allows Nikto's post to remain then he also is SUPPORTING a racist attack.
Considering that they are two racist peas in a pod I won't give any odds that Mark will pull the post.
If he does? Props for him and I would give him full credit. I doubt it will ever happen though.
Oh boy! This just makes my day.

The media has two wings: The Pious Concern Troll wing, and the Nasty Attack Dog wing. Why no, they're never asked to reconcile these wings.
ReplyDeleteMarxie and Nikto personify both wings, sometimes within the same post.
Within the same post is right. The way they twist around that can hurt your head.
