Forgot?

 

Sure:

On what would have been the 100th anniversary of this July 4th tradition, the New York Times reportedly forgot to print the Declaration of Independence in its newspaper this year.

After disgruntled readers voiced concern, the paper printed it on July 5.

In its Wednesday “Playbook,” Politico reported that the outlet forgot its “longstanding tradition” of putting the Declaration of Independence in its print edition every July 4th. A Times spokesperson blamed it on “human error.”

Politico’s report opened with a blurb on the history of this July 4th tradition, recounting how it came about in the late 19th century. “On July 4, 1897, Adolph Ochs, the new owner of The New York Times, ushered in an Independence Day tradition: The paper published the full text of the Declaration of Independence. The Times called the document the ‘original charter of the Nation.’”

Beginning in 1922, the paper started printing “facsimile of the original document,” and every year since, “devoted Times readers know that on July Fourth, they can flip over the A section of the paper and see a reprint of the Declaration on the last page,” Politico wrote.

Go here to read the rest.  This was deliberate, just like NPR cancelling their tradition of reading the Declaration.  Contemporary Leftists hate the history of this nation and the Leftists at the New York Times were engaging in a snit fit because the Supreme Court has jeopardized their sacred rite of slaying their progeny.  Leftists all over the internet were reflecting their hatred of Independence Day because of Dobbs and this action of the New York Times merely reflected the hive mind of the Left.  Our enemies within at worst, our useless residents at best.

Then, they lie about it.

Forget the New York times.

Nobody reads it anymore except low-info, low-IQ nogoodniks who cannot see the lies. .

Much of the salaried class in this country consists of TWANLOC, especially those in word merchant occupations. I wish they’d bloody well emigrate as they are a drain on our vitality.

Pitiful. They don’t even have the courage to own their decision. Is it because they know at some level that their position is ahistorical and indefensible?

I’m currently listening to a podcast of Douglas Murray being interviewed by Lex Fridman. At one point, Murray describes the utter shallowness of the left’s attack on the memory of our Founding Fathers, pointing out the copious extant records of both Washington and Jefferson’s disgust with the institution of slavery— and their awareness that if they wanted to keep the fragile new Republic together, they had to tolerate its existence and put off its abolition for another day. Murray pointed out that the Founders planted the seeds for slavery’s abolition in the beginning of the Declaration of Independence itself: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…”. Murray described that sentence as a ticking time bomb laid at the foundation of slavery in this country.

To memory-hole the Declaration of Independence is to deny one of the foundations underpinning the abolition of slavery in this nation.

It’s a shame that Murray (who is British) and Fridman (who was born in the former USSR) both understand this— and so many Americans who should know better do not.
