The New York Times takes aim at J.K. Rowling

Clearly, being well-informed isn’t one of the benefits of subscribing to the NYT. For, without its creator, “Lianna” wouldn’t be imagining anything about Harry Potter at all. Cockburn suggests subscribing to the Daily Prophet instead…or The Spectator.

mmm . . . mutton.

[dynachrome]

That be a dude.

[Dr. Sivana]

attacking the UK’s greatest living writer.

I am not disputing that, but quite a fall from the land that gave us Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen, Orwell, Chesterton, and Wodehouse.

[FreedomPoster]

How about the Epoch Times?

[Apparatchik]

Apparently “Lianna” is an overfed, bespectacled tree frog.

Tell me again why her(?) opinion matters?

[bk1000]

Frankly I wish we would go back to running queers out of town. No good can come from the acceptance of sodomites.

Looks like Elie Mystal before the perm.

Black trannies are definitely the best people to take advice and input from.

[ryderann]

Gosh...I’d hate to read this creature’s comments on Hans Christian Andersen.

That NYT ad is clearly aimed at a post-literate/sub-literate audience and made for people whose attention span is challenged by TikTok videos.

[Wonder Warthog]

“Lianna” be fat and ugly......

“...attacking the UK’s greatest living writer.”

Well, perhaps greatest living author in terms of SALES. But I posit that Ken Follett is a superior writer and storyteller (and, yes, he is still living).

…quite a fall from the land that gave us Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen, Orwell, Chesterton, and Wodehouse.

I would disagree.

As a writer myself with a few works under my belt, there is a certain category of authors that leave me in awe. The Tolkiens, Herberts, Asimovs, and Rowlings do something that’s impossible for me — create whole worlds out of nothing. My writing has to be anchored in a real world, but these storytellers are special. I can’t comprehend the complexity of creating a world from whole cloth, and keeping track of the cultures, terms, idiosyncrasies, and motivations of an imaginary space. Their talents are truly incredible and place them on a plain all their own.

Couldn’t care less about the commies eating the woke. You go NYT. Put it out there for all to see.

[throwthebumsout]

The NYT, like CNN, is becoming irrelevant in today’s society.

Yet, it is entertaining when we get to witness progressives eating their own.

[7thson]

The key word in that sentence is “living.” Learn to read and comprehend.

[carcraft]

The New York Times is becoming a parody of itself. Harry Potter with out Rowlings is about 10,000 scrabble games dumped on a floor, or books by IKEA. This isn’t hard to figure out.
