Whatever else might have once been said about liberal bias at the New York Times, at least you could say that they covered the elites. What else can you say about their wedding announcements section, which, as I think David Brooks once joked, reads more like a mergers and acquisitions page, since the couples spotlighted are invariably ivy league uber-overclass climbers.
But now it seems the Times mission is to provide cover for the elites. Their long story about the Hilaria Baldwin scandal a couple days ago reads like a Babylon Bee parody designed to ward off any criticism of lying about one’s identity on a grand scale. All these puff pieces about her in Spanish language publications? Hilarious Baldwin now says she didn’t see or read any of them. It’s all someone else’s mistake:
Ms. Baldwin is bilingual, and she speaks English with varying degrees of a Spanish accent depending on how happy or upset she is feeling, she said. She didn’t know that ¡Hola! magazine, for which she has twice posed for the cover and which has written some 20 items about her on its English-language website so far this year, repeatedly reported inaccurately that she was a Spaniard because she said she didn’t read articles about herself. She got confused about the word for cucumber because it was one of her first times appearing on live television and she was nervous (“brain fart,” she said). As for the C.A.A. bio, she can only assume the agency used unverified information from the internet to write a sloppy bio. “I rarely at all work with C.A.A. now,” she said. “It was very disappointing.” (A spokeswoman for ¡Hola! declined to comment. A spokesman for C.A.A. declined to comment.)

I can speak ebonics when drunk. Am I black, then?
C'mon man (I mean, 'C'mon dawg'), if you didn't vote for Biden, you ain't black.
(And if you voted for him, you are either dead, a stolen ballot, or a moron).
Truthfully, it just sounds like ebonics.
>>She got confused about the word for cucumber because it was one of her first times appearing on live television and she was nervous (“brain fart,” she said).
“How you say, cucumber?” is not a brain fart. It was a tactic to pretend to be from someplace you are not.
Barack Obama and John Kerry also used to play up their foreign citizenship as they denigrated/critiqued this country while in school. John’s band’s album even claimed he was from Oslo.
It’s an attempt to seem more worldly and not simply another anti-American.
>>As for the C.A.A. bio, she can only assume the agency used unverified information from the internet to write a sloppy bio. “I rarely at all work with C.A.A. now,” she said.
Like when Barack’s literary editor claimed he was from Kenya?
Hilaria’s husband, Alec Baldwin, told people.....including a taped David Letterman audience......that his wife is “from Spain.”
Baldwin’s comments underline the narrative that Hilaria Baldwin has presented in media appearances.
In an interview with the ”#MOMTRUTHS” podcast in April she said unequivocally that “her family lives in Mallorca, Spain.”
She then added she “moved here” from Spain when she was 19 “to go to NYU.”
Did she falsify NYU apps......or other official documents?
Did she receive any financial benefits or other perks and privileges by claiming to be Spanish?
Hilaria must be in cognitive decline-——happening a lot lately in Democrat circles.
She twice posed for the cover but says she didn’t know that ¡Hola! magazine was Spanish........never even inquired why they had a funny name.
¡Hola! magazine interviewed her and wrote some 20 items about her on its English-language website, wherein they repeatedly reported she was Spanish.
Hilaria said she didn’t know they did that, b/c she doesnt read articles about herself.
