The “New York Times” has done some pretty funky stuff for a little while now.
Instead of praising any of America’s great current or former leaders, they decide to heap praise onto Mao Zedong.
Yeah, that Mao Zedong.
You can’t make this stuff up!
Here is the tweet…
And here is the “apology”…
We’ve deleted a previous tweet about Mao Zedong that lacked critical historical context.

More from Washington Examiner:
Never mind the fact that his disastrously conceived (and named) “Great Leap Forward” killed an estimated 45 million human beings. Then there were the political purges, the labor camps, the exterminations, the execution quotas, etc. In all, Mao is suspected of killing an estimated 70 million people with his brand of genocidal totalitarianism. But other than all of that, yes, he was “one history’s great revolutionary figures.”
It was not long before social media users noticed and took exception on Monday to the Times’ weirdly glowing description of the 20th century’s most prolific mass murderer. The pushback became such that the paper deleted the tweet eventually, issuing a sort of half-hearted mea culpa.
The New York Times thinks “men at Fox News” continue to pick on AOC because she’s soooo good looking and they could never land her in high school.
Ummm…sounds a little sexist, doesn’t it?
Did the NYT just reduce AOC to an object? Hmmm.
LOOK:
The men at Fox News have a sickly obsession with AOC, partly because they resent her cleverness, charisma and moral vitality, but mostly because they suspect that in high school she was one of those girls they had no hope of getting a date with

AOC is the perfect person to cover for Republicans. She constantly makes a fool of herself while Democrats have had no choice but to back everything she’s said and done because she’s become so powerful. In many ways, AOC is becoming the new face of their party. It’s amazing.

This is quite sexist, actually. @AOC has a mind and ideas that men can have a problem with. You just “mostly” reduced her to an object. You NYT Opinion folks are really on a hateful roll lately, eh?

Conservatives: The Green New Deal’s socialist policies would be economic suicide.
New Yorkers: You cost us tens of thousands of jobs.
Nancy Pelosi: You are a small fringe in the party. Democrats reject socialism.

There’s something off about the way a lot of progressive dudes talk about AOC and I can’t put my finger on it but it looks like this:
