Something like semi-anaphora? What’s the word for something there is no word for?
I didn’t like either the Stephens op-ed or the apology story in the BUSINESS SECTION!!!
I think the Times is intentionally anti-Semitic. It wasn’t an oversight by those out-of-touch jerks who do the International Edition. Nor do I accept any of the other excuses.
Plus no one mentioned that Netanyahu was made to look like an ugly woman. The dog’s ears like long hair, lipstick . . . Trump didn’t get that bad a treatment at all. That’s the essence of an anti-Semitic cartoon: to make the Jew LOOK ridiculous and ugly. No one mentioned that. It’s subconscious to most. And that’s why it works.
Stop it in its tracks. Don’t even patronize newsdealers who sell the Times. Get the Post by home delivery. Boycott them the way the Muslim newsdealers are boycotting the Post.
I’d also like to add that I don’t believe there is widespread Jewish self-hatred.
It is caution. And they have good reason to be cautious. Possibly some humility thrown in. But not hatred.
What I meant in comment 26 is that evil cartoons are DESIGNED to have a subconscious effect on the viewer. I didn’t mean that the cartoonist was subconsciously creating a vile cartoon.
I see that the Times is instituting some lessons for its staff in subconscious racism. OK. Good. But a cartoonist can consciously create a subconscious reaction in a viewer. The cartoonist is almost always racist at heart.
And I think there are fully conscious racists everywhere.
In no way did I intend to absolve the NY Times by the use of the word “subconscious.” I was referring to the viewer, who absorbs an evil message without realizing it.
