"Error of judgment" is a massive understatement. Theoretically, they've got editors who should have stopped this. Unfortunately, it seems they've got editors who didn't see a problem with it.
But seriously, with a "white nationalist" shooting up a synagogue in CA and this blast from the lefties, is it any wonder that there needs to be a Jewish state with right of return? There anti-Semites are on all sides, everywhere.
Hey Tim, Good to see you here (I messaged the Timster a day or so ago via Facebook, and voici-la!)
So, umlauts and other diacritical marks are easy to do if you have an old-fashioned keyboard with a keypad. I got so tired of looking them up in Character Map, that I made a cheat-sheet in Word and printed it out years ago. So, a small u with an umlaut is Ctrl+0252 (on the keypad, not the function keys.)
OK, back on topic, yes, the NY Times has no filters for anti-Semitism and would never have pulled this is there hadn't been some sort of outcry.
Chris, is this a parody, or did the NYT International actually publish this?
ReplyDeleteApparently, they did. Someone had a screen shot of the print edition. The Times is walking it back, though. "Error in judgment."
ReplyDeleteTo say the least.

ReplyDeleteSeems Times Square "didn't know." Which seems like it'd be something they might want to get a handle on. But that's just me.

I'm just impressed you can type umlauts.

Can't actually type 'em, Tim, as that would necessitate actual knowledge on my part. I can copy them though. :-)
