Parodies of the New York Times' wretched "crush the protests" column

The New York Times celebrated the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre by publishing a column calling for a similar crackdown here in the U.S. It has not gone down well. Critics are horrified that the paper of record would amplify a call for military action against largely black protestors and there is a reported “rebellion” in the NYT newsroom. On social media, parodies unravel the Times’ vacuous both-sidesism by posing absurdity in its classy, restrained op-ed format.
