The week before a big election has always been a tough one, and after 2004, I learned my lesson to never count on a result going the way I wrote it. So today I decided to go after an evergreen topic: The vapidity of opinion columnists, particularly at the New York Times.

The paper that once hired me to draw cartoons for six years has taken a hard-right turn since AG Sulzberger took the reins into his soft nepo-baby hands. The opinion columns have always reflected the world through the eyes of wealthy, out-of-touch psuedo-intellectuals, but now there’s little more than anti-trans hate, warmongering, or culture war stuff the rest of us can’t afford to care about.

Tune in next week, unless martial law is declared after the midterm results come in.

The NYTimes was never the bastion of the liberal media people claim it is, but it’s definitely taken a hard right turn since nepo baby AG Sulzberger took over the family business. He oversaw James Bennett becoming opinion editor, who let Bari Weiss and Tom Cotton run insane 4chan shit for a couple years before the normal employees put up enough of a stink to run him out. (With a few notable exceptions, the opinion section still sucks shit though.)

The rightward tilt of the “straight” news side were always there, with the Iraq War propaganda being the most blatant in my lifetime. But Trump has sent them over the deep end; either to appear neutral with both-sides bullshit, or actively targeting a minority to signal their willingness to work with fascists.

None of this will save them if they succeed in getting the second Trump term they want so bad. He hates their fancy high society guts and will send them to the camps with the rest of us.
