New York Times Relocates Offices To Beijing So Reporters Won't Have To See So Many 'Disturbing' American Flags

BEIJING—After New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay said she was disturbed by the horrific sight of the American flag, the Times has announced its offices will be relocated to Beijing so the paper's journalists and editors won't have to see the triggering sight of the U.S. flag any longer.

The new offices have the Chinese flag flying out front, so Times reporters will no longer have to see the flag of a problematic, oppressive nation.

"The Times cares deeply about the mental health and wellbeing of our employees," said an HR rep. "We were getting constant complaints from our journalists that having our offices located in the U.S. was causing distress for many of our reporters. Being situated in New York City, we were constantly having to see American flags on buildings, bumper stickers, flagpoles, Chevy truck ads -- you name it. We won't have as much of an issue here in Beijing."

"This should help everyone breathe a little easier."

Things that make you go “Hmmmm....”

Like, why aren’t liberals, who say that they are triggered, triggered by the word “trigger”, since a trigger is part of an assault weapon?

Hmmmm....
