New York Times Ends Political Cartoons After Antisemitism Scandals

The international edition of the New York Times will no longer feature editorial cartoons. The move to self-censorship follows the uproar sparked by publication of a widely denounced antisemitic caricature of Israeli Prime Minister Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The cartoon, published in April, depicted Netanyahu as a dog wearing a Star of David collar and leading a sightless U.S. President Donald Trump — who was wearing a Jewish skullcap.The offensive piece was drawn by Portuguese artist António Moreira Antunesas and published during the Passover holiday.

With all the Jewish names in their staff directory, the NYT can’t trust themselves to identify antisemitic cartoons? What is wrong with these people?

[NativeSon]

Perhaps it is because they don’t want to stop them instead of that they are unable?

So in standard leftist practice, they burn it all down.

[a fool in paradise]

Not good enough. The NYet Times should issue an apology and quit publishing altogether.

To understand the implications of a political cartoon, you need to be educated, intelligent, and well-read. The NYT is admitting they don’t have and won’t hire competent editors.

[Liaison]

It probably cost too much for the cartoons so it’s easier to stop publishing cartoons than to run them in the newspaper. Besides more advertising space or a space for more liberal rants against the orange man.

A lot of ‘Jews’ are anti-Israel.

[SunkenCiv]

Those weren't mistakes, they were intentional. Since no one was punished, apparently, publishing that trash is company policy. Thanks Steve1999.

The real problem is that the Left Can’t Meme.
Everything is SO serious now, that no fun can be poked at it.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Yes, that, too. They have no recognizable sense of humor. Nothing is funny, and you had better not laugh. Unless they tell you to.

Liberal Jews don't support Israel either. That said, the PC move of stopping all political cartoons is creepy... one more nail in the coffin of the MSM.

[EinNYC]

I don't care what the NYT does; it's not even fit to line a cat's litter box. That they would publish such anti-semitic cartoons, which would have fit right in Der Stürmer, is proof that they can no longer be taken seriously as a reliable news source. Their personal bias colors their stories to such an extent that any pretense of "fair and balanced" reporting is laughable.

What a bunch of idiots.
