The anthropomorphic personification of NYT would look like an angry version of the monopoly guy
"The proles are finally getting fed up with the parasitic CEO's... quick, better try some (weak ass) propaganda to turn the tide!"

Lol. Lmao even.
I will be sooo disappointed if people don't cancel their NYT subscriptions after this.
Why would anyone pay a fee to the fake news owned and operated for the benefit of the owner class?

Bret buddy how about you go to bed just go to bed and try again tomorrow
This Brian Thompson, playing a ruthless cult leader and serial killer, couldn't even compare to the body count on CEO Brian Thompson.
"Sheriff of Nottingham real hero. People refusing to pay justified taxes."
Who's bread they eat, who's song they sing, I guess.
It's like they're trying to outdo Nytimes Pitchbot.
🤣
This ought to have been apparent 20 years ago. Anybody else remember Judith Miller and her little pas de deux with Dick Cheney, where his office would "leak" phony intelligence about Iraq's WMD program to her, she'd publish it in her New York Times column, and then the Bushies could cite it as evidence? Pepperidge Farm also remembers the non-apology apology the editor published (buried well off the front page) that conspicuously missed anything about not letting the paper be used as a mouthpiece for the state in the future.
The only reason that it ever had a progressive reputation is because the GOP/Tea Party kept shrieking about "liberal media" to move the Overton Window to the far right.
It also does a lot of arts and literary work so that adds to that perception.
NYT is the fake news of record always has been
Also notorious genocide enablers
I remember. Judith Miller and the New York Times were essentially involved in causing hundreds of thousands of deaths in Iraq.
I understand that they were also involved in pushing the US into getting into Vietnam too, but know less about the details of that one.
NYT can blow me.
Jeezus Kristos, this guy is such a sh*tbird.
…When you effortlessly drift to sky-high levels of self-parody….
Here's the article, for anyone interested.
It basically boils down to: Brian Thompson grew up in a working class family in Iowa, while Luigi Mangione came from wealth and went to private schools. He compares Mangione to Osama bin Laden, and other "Angry rich kids jacked up on radical, nihilistic philosophies," who "cause a lot of harm, not least to the working-class folks whose interests they pretend to champion."
The author then mentions some polling that says people like their health insurance provider, actually. And then finally he says this:
Thompson’s life may have been cut brutally short, but it will remain a model for how a talented and determined man from humble roots can still rise to the top of corporate life without the benefit of rich parents and an Ivy League degree.
Without a stitch of irony. Thompson may have come from working class roots, but that ain't where he ended up. So if it's ok to become rich, but it's not ok to be born rich, then I guess this author supports a 100% inherence tax? Yeah, somehow I doubt it.
The fact that he came from working class roots and chose to become a massive piece of shit makes him even worse than someone who was born into privilege.
