The Know-Nothings At The New York Times

In a revoltingly biased editorial titled “The Nativists Are Restless,” the New York Times libeled immigration restrictionists, including VDARE.com, in the usual despicable terms.

But a revolt occurred in the ranks of the newspaper’s readers, in the Comments section. A good chunk of the responses exposed the Times’ smear for what it was: an ad hominem attack.

The financially flailing Times followed up with “The Nativists Are Restless, Continued.” Read it. Do I detect here a tinge of panic? Could it be the panic that comes with looming bankruptcy? One can only hope. Nevertheless, I do think that the second response, with its urgent tone, comes off as slightly apologetic, at least for the insufferably arrogant New York Times editorialists.
