NEW YORK, NY—In honor of the anniversary of Chairman Mao Zedong's death, The New York Times unfurled a giant, 50-foot-wide banner honoring the "brave revolutionary" outside its New York offices Monday.
After public outcry, they admitted this might have been "slightly inappropriate."
"While we stand by our decision to honor one of history's great men, we admit the banner lacked important historical context," said one Times editor. "While his ideas were morally right, they factually killed a bunch of people, and that's not something we wanted to promote. Unless you're killing yourself to combat climate change."

I had a feeling that was the source.
NYT would never apologize for such as thing.

So the New York Times has a complete fit if Trump uses any positive words to describe North Korea's leader, but they consider Mao a great man.
Yeah, no hypocrisy there.

I mean, there are a billion and a half of them now. Imagine how many there would be if he hadn’t thinned the herd.

It seems to be more than that, but be careful not to exceed your limit.

But this is perfectly believable.

He only killed 50 million with his communism, which the Times seems to think was a good start....

You know what's wild about this?
I wasn't sure right away whether it was Babylon Bee or real until I looked at the link.
