In any case, the Slimes cartoon doesn't phase me, as a jew, because the Slimes is like an annoying fly in the room. It occasionally flies by my ear, with a slight buzzing sound, and then dissapears. Until the next time it buzzes by. Not worth my effort to even think about SLimes.
This is not about YOU and the NYT. The NYT is perhaps the leading general voice of news and worldview for the intellectual political left, i.e., that class of news shapers and entertainers which in turn shapes the worldview of the mass of middle America which is sympathetic to socialism and all of Progressive ideology (whether it realizes or understands it or not).
It is irrelevant whether YOU can ignore the image in the NYT.
