WashPost & NY Times Publish Ad for Leftist Corporate Attempt to Block Voter ID Laws
NewsBusters ^ | 4/15/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 04/15/2021 12:26:13 PM PDT by JV3MRC

The New York Times and The Washington Post appeared to be tickled pink about the opportunity to advertise a statement signed by woke corporate America aiming to block voter ID laws across the country. The Post’s owner Jeff Bezos, who is also Amazon's CEO, also signed the statement.

The leftist organization behind the statement that pretends to “stand for democracy” — Black Economic Alliance (BEA) — cheered how “over 500 companies and CEOs have united to oppose the 360+ state bills pending in 47 states that contain discriminatory voting measures.” The BEA, along with several other business figures, paid for the letter’s ad buys. Signatories included liberal companies and Big Tech bigwigs like Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Reddit, liberal billionaire Michael Bloomberg, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams, liberal billionaire Warren Buffett, notorious LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Google’s parent company Alphabet. The leftist statement was plastered as a big advertisement in both The Times and The Post.

The BEA said in its summary of the statement that “we boldly declare enough is enough. The business community has made its position clear: it is willing and ready to unite in the fight to protect our democracy.” The statement misleadingly claimed that the effort was “nonpartisan.” But the BEA’s involvement with the statement showed that it is the furthest thing from “nonpartisan.” In 2020, the BEA exploited the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery to spew that America was structurally and institutionally racist.

Large corporations enlisted to push radical political and electoral policies, to help the radical statist/leftist party gain permanent control.

Why is it that whites and yellows have no problem producing a valid ID?

Why is it that blacks and browns have a problem producing a valid ID?

“....discriminatory voting measures.”

Was bedeutet das? A picture ID is in no way discriminatory, but it does serve to indicate that the name on the voting rolls and the person presenting himself or herself are almost certainly that same, further confirmed by a signature at the point of collecting a ballot. A properly run roll also indicates whether this same person may have already voted, or resides elsewhere than indicated on the official roster. One person, one vote. Nobody deserves more than one ballot in any given election, and nobody deserves a ballot if unable to provide this confirmation.

I can tell you for sure that most of them don’t want protesters showing up at their Corporate HQ.
BLM and SEIU began in Silicon Valley doing corporate shakedowns. back in the 80-90’s.
Every one of the companies folded and gave them what they wanted.

That makes me look at the New York Times and the Washington Post with a different view. They have become sleezy papers, having aligned themselves with the liberals.

And they both believe, as liberals all do, that blacks are too stupid to be able to get a state ID or to figure out how to use the internet.

Saw a woman attempt to buy a pack of cigarettes at the local convenience store this morning. This state requires ID for tobacco products. She was asked if she had her ID. "No." She looked miffed and stormed out of the store -

- and drove away in a Mercedes.

All of these hypocritical corporations need to take out a full page ad answering the following questions.

Why do you restrict access to your buildings to those who have valid ID?

Why do you only give your goods and services to those who provide a valid credit card and often ID?
Why Do you only sell alcohol or cigarettes to those with a valid ID?

Why do your accountants and auditors have valid IDs and licenses?
Why are your financial statements only prepared by validated firms?

Why are your inspectors licensed?

Why do you only let valid board members vote in board meetings?

Why do your union employees have to show their IDs?

Why do you license your trademark and servicemark?
Why don't you let anyone without a valid license use them?

Why do your companies' physicians need to be licensed?

Why are your company drivers licensed?
Why do your company vehicles have valid registrations and insurance?

Why are contracts for your companies validated?
