On 9/11, NYT Blames Airplanes For Taking Down WTC
Newsbusters ^ | September 11, 2019 | Leah Barkoukis

In an article published on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, The New York Times decided to blame airplanes for taking down the World Trade Center, completely ignoring that it was terrorists who hijacked those planes.

“Eighteen years have passed since airplanes took aim at the World Trade Center and brought them down,” reads the second paragraph in the piece titled “Remembering Those Lost 18 Years Ago on 9/11.” In fact, terrorism isn’t even mentioned in the article, except for in the subheading.

To make matters worse, this is the section the NYT tweeted to promote the article, prompting widespread backlash. The death count was also wildly off. They have since deleted the tweet, but not before Twitchy captured it.

You know it’s been a while since I have seen stories about rabid SUVs killing people. Remember when that was a daily thing?

I guess we need to get rid of those darn airplanes as they cause both Terrorism and Global Warming.

Why can't we call 1-800-Got-Junk and point at Omar and Tlaib?

In 1993 they detonated explosives loaded vans (filled with poison) in the WTC

Our founders couldn’t have foreseen the advent of airplanes just like they didn’t anticipate semi autos,

The NYT believes it IS the news. It intends to change history.

The NYT hates the USA and would be happy if a horde of bearded inbred savages took over the country and forced us all to obey sharia law.

Never forget the people who leapt to their sure deaths rather than be burned to death. I’ll never forget.

It’s a shame that the planes hit the wrong building.

So I guess Tim McVay didnt bomb the Alfred Murrah Building, the truck rented itself, packed itself with explosives and drove itself to Murrah Federal Building. We should free Tim McVay, since it was the truck that did it. 😋

New York Times all the garbage fit to print...

Never forget... sadly, America never learned anything from what took place.

Just look at what has taken place since 9/11 and where we are now as a nation concerning the threat of Islam and Muslim terrorists within our midst.

After all the Kumbaiya, flowery speaches, and “memorial services” were over, Islam and the socialist/communist left in and outside of America began a concerted, well laid, well financed campaign to promote Islam, NUTTER and SILENCE everyone proclaiming the FACTS and TRUTH about Islam, its blood thirsty founder Mohammed, its doctrine of violence, terror, conquest, and hate, and its blood soaked history.

While making Islam the wronged “victim,” and turning those expressing concern and exposing the genuine threat Islam poses into “the ‘REAL THREAT”: dangerous, “enemies of progress and enlightenment”; crazy Christians, and American flag waving “zenophobes” and “Islamophobes”,

Today, all over America, public schools and universities are openly, actively promoting Islam and indoctrinating our children and young people, while doing everything within their power to reject and stigmatize Christianity and America’s Judeo-Christian founding and heritage.

And the penultimate insult to everyone who died on 9/11, their families, and all of America: we now have Muslim congressmen who openly proclaim their antisemitism, and hatred for America, Christians, Christianity, Jews, and the nation of Israel while suffering no blowback, condemnation or consequences for their vile, hate-filled beliefs and rhetoric.

“Never Forget”... we never REMEMBERED. Tagline

Airplanes. SUVs. Guns.

Homo sapiens is beset on all sides by inanimate objects rising up to overthrow their masters.

No Muslims, Islam, or Shariah—move along, nothing to see. Trump did it. Maybe Bolton. Maybe Hannity, not sure....

“Eighteen years have passed since airplanes took aim at the World Trade Center and brought them down,”

As the article title implies, the planes were not responsible. Airplanes do not 'take aim' at anything. Airplanes ARE 'aimed at' whatever they end up hitting.
