The New York Times announced this week that it had hired Sarah Jeong as a new member of its editorial board. As is the unfortunate custom in the modern media age, this hiring led to a dissection of Jeong’s Twitter history in the hopes of finding something offensive. It did not take long for offensive things to be discovered. But in this case the offensive content came with a twist unique to the age of privilege. What the tweets described — and there were many — was how horrible white people are.

Sorry, but the media gods do not have to adhere to standards they require of others. If they pee on your back and tell you it's raining you have to accept it. It is as Uncle Walter said - "And that's the way it is."

I wonder what frat boy rejected this loser in college in favor of a blonde cheerleader?

Her tweets reek of rejection and jealousy

While I agree it is a double standard. It is not a new thing and has existed for decades. It is just more blatant now. We have it in all walks of society from our Government and MSM to our education system and society in general. The real question is why do whites accept it?

I have noticed that the fake news media is doubling down on their anti-Trump vitriol and constant lies and inciteful hatred, so this hire makes sense.

“Sorry, but the media gods do not have to adhere to standards they require of others.”

Either that, or hiring this women proves just how far the New York Times investigative skills have fallen. I mean really, just how hard would it have been to discover her horrid past?

It’s blatant and in your face. But it is now a stinking dead chicken around the neck of the dog. NYT screwed up big time and this isn’t going away ever.

She is a gift from God. Everyday she is at the Times is a day the Times can be mocked with impunity till one day not even the usual cuckservatives view the Times as authority.
