NEW YORK, NY—In honor of the anniversary of Chairman Mao Zedong’s death, The New York Times unfurled a giant, 50-foot-wide banner honoring the “brave revolutionary” outside its New York offices Monday.
After public outcry, they admitted this might have been “slightly inappropriate.”
“While we stand by our decision to honor one of history’s great men, we admit the banner lacked important historical context,” said one Times editor. “While his ideas were morally right, they factually killed a bunch of people, and that’s not something we wanted to promote. Unless you’re killing yourself to combat climate change.”
Paper executives considered adding some historical context to the banner, like writing “Morally right but factually a mass murderer” to the bottom but eventually decided to just take it down so as not to obscure the facts above and beyond the paper’s usual fact obscuring threshold.
The banner has been replaced with a large mural of Joseph Stalin.

The very idea of even speaking to, let alone doing business with, and giving murderous, corrupt, Commies everything we know so they can rule the world, is obscene.
We have always known that the “mainstream media” has a penchant for communist dictators. They are merely showing their “true colors”…
so who is next, Idi Amin, that great canibal? OOOooo….I hope so. make the set complete. then adolf.
It was offensive to me, me alone, i was triggered and need a donut and crayons. I demand they create a safe space at the cost of $10m near their building so others like me that MAY become offended and triggered upon their next banner has a place to go. Also they need to spend $20m on a covered walkway all around their building so if someone is walking they have a means of walking their path without having to see any future offending banner. I alone demand this, under previous libtard precedent they must comply or be fined by the govt and antifa will march on them this weekend.
This is how we use their same tactics against them folks. Tear down our statues we break you too….
Such actions just show us who they are.
At least the sign company that made the banner must be happy.
Like I said before, a free people cannot live with leftist/commie/pigs. Back in the day I had to get on a plane and fly 10,000 miles to kill commies… and the weren’t even commies(the government lied, surprise, surprise). Even at my age, I’ll gladly kill commies in my own country.
Edit,
A ha, the babylon bee… well, the story is so close to reality I failed to check the source. Even so, the response stands.
