The New York Times is so slanted, I have to lie in a diagonal position with my neck twisted in a funny way just to read it. Of course this is very uncomfortable, which is why I don't do it very often. Today I glanced at the front page and saw the photo, which was captioned: "President Trump arrived late for a discussion on gender equality at the G-7 meeting, which he left early for talks with North Korea." Like that's a bad thing? I'd much rather our government focus on avoiding nuclear war with a crazy foreign leader instead of pontificating on where people should be allowed to pee or whether we must call a "he" a "she" or a "she" a "he."
Despite disliking the president, I can still applaud him for arranging a meeting with Rocket Man, and so should the Times! Instead, they are committed to never writing one good thing about the guy, just as they were committed to never saying one bad thing about Obama. It's painfully obvious that the head honchos at the Times have lost their ability to report the straight news without "spinning" it first.
Also in today's paper, a front page article disses Trump for being "the first president since 1942 not to name a science advisor." You know -- those guys who say the sea levels are rising except for where they're falling, or that eating fat is bad for you, oh wait -- actually fat is good for you, or circumcision is a mandatory health procedure, oh no, circumcision is quite harmful to babies.
That's why I stick to doing the crossword puzzle in that prestigious paper's magazine section and use the rest as fire-starter when we grill. But sometimes even that pisses me off. Like in today's puzzle, there was a rather distasteful clue in light of recent events: "Rope used for strangulation." The answer was GARROTE. But did we really need to see that this particular week? I'm telling you, they could use some new editors over there.
