NY TIMES TAKES UP SATIRE
Powerline ^ | 4 Mar 2021 | Steven HAyward

The New York Times has put out a job listing for its editorial page that shows it has decided to branch out into satire. Here’s some of it:

The New York Times is looking for a proactive, creative, digitally-experienced editor to shape its Opinion report and help lead the department. . . We’re looking for an editor with a sense of humor and a spine of steel, a confident point of view and an open mind, an appetite for risk and exacting standards for excellence in writing and visual presentation. We’re looking for someone who wants to grow big ideas to make the world a better place, and to have fun doing it. . .

The Times Opinion team aims to promote the most important and provocative debate across a range of subjects – including politics, global affairs, technology, culture, and business – and is passionate about including a vast array of diverse voices and perspectives.

Because we all know the Times is a really fun place to work these days. Let’s see: a “sense of humor” is the first thing that will get you fired, since humorlessness is the chief requisite for membership in the Wokerati. Though I suppose it makes sense to hope for someone with a “spine of steel,” since Times management has no spine at all these days.

Two questions I’d love to pose to the entire staff of the Times: 1) Do you own a gun? 2) Do you know a member of the NRA? Pretty sure I know what result we’d get.

The open mind requirement eliminates most Democrats right off the bat.

Now that they think they have what they want, Biden in office and Pelosi in charge, they’ve decided to go egalitarian.

Well, guess what. We see right through you.

Principles are principles, and you can’t apply them only to one side because then they are not principles anymore, they are prejudices. You have done this consistently, practiced prejudice instead of principle, despite your fancy talk.

You can’t change now that you think the Left is in charge. It’s too late.
