New York Magazine slammed for cropping photo to make MAGA look like 'a racist cult'

New York Magazine has been slammed for editing black people out of a front cover spread on the 'young, gleeful and casually cruel' MAGA faithful.

A reporter chronicled an inauguration party in Washington on January 20 at Butterworth’s bistro alongside young Republicans celebrating Donald Trump's return to the White House.

After the report made the front page of NY Magazine, the publication was called out for cropping the main image to remove any person of color - making it appear like the only 'casually cruel' Trump fans in attendance were white.

Party host CJ Pearson, a black conservative activist and political advisor, described the article and photo choice as 'insane.'

'This is insane,' he wrote on X. 'I hosted this event and @NYMag intentionally left me out of their story because it would have undermined their narrative that MAGA is some racist cult.'

Another attendee said: 'I was at this party as were MANY other Conservative media influencers who are Black, Latino, Asian, etc.'

A third added: 'This is low.'

The cover photo featured glamorous, young white partygoers dressed in fancy gowns and tuxedos, grinning with drinks in hand as they celebrated.

They just can’t help it. It’s a disability. They deserve our sympathy.

It's amazing that leftards think that if a group of white people are together a crime is being committed.

When Disney took over Star Wars they removed the black stormtrooper guy- I forget his name because the movies were bad, but they removed his face from the promo posters in china because the Chinese don’t believe that diversity is a great strength apparently.

Yes they lie. Constantly. But the useful idiots on the Left keep swallowing them because they want to be lied to. They have an agenda they consider more important than the truth.

This is the stuff I try to tell me in-laws all the time. They have TDS and absolutely refuse to look at the unfiltered truth.

The TDS-NeverTrumpers in the Enemedia, Congress, the Deep State, and the military will continue to produce lies, insurrection, sedition, and treason to destroy PResident Trump and his administration.

Like all these other lies and half truths the 'press' put out - this will backfire on them.

Heh heh....

“Here at Iowa State, we have a remarkably diverse student body, with literally dozens of non-whites,” Iowa State director of student affairs Andrea Driessen said. “We thought a picture with at least one non-white happily interacting with whites would be a great way to show off this fact. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any pictures of whites and non-whites actually interacting, so we had to make one up.”

Time to edit and publish photos of New York Magazine owners and editors in various positions of sex with farm animals - if they want to play the lying game, let them live with it.

Agreed. Legacy media will continue to crumble until they assimilate the message that they can still espouse their kooky views, but need to stop lying while doing so. I’m not holding out a lot of hope
