The Stupidity of the New York Times and the Left in General

The linked article begins:

In the latest episode of legacy-media mental gymnastics, The New York Times argues that deporting criminal aliens somehow makes American communities less safe.

The article … suggested that deporting criminal aliens is problematic because they might return to the United States “and commit more crimes”. [Emphases in the original]

[No possibility that if they stay here they “might” commit more crimes?]

The article ends:

Framing ICE as the antagonist, violent offenders as victims, and the enforcement of immigration law as a threat to justice isn’t journalism; it’s narrative management.

Comment:
The columnist is broadly right. But she misses points - as in the last sentence. “The enforcement of immigration law as a threat to justice isn’t journalism” – true – but it also isn’t “narrative management”. It’s just plain stupid.

Yes, it is both “narrative management” AND stupidity - because the entire narrative of the left is stupid! Every single thing they stand for is either stupid, absurd, or insane, and mostly “all of the above”.
