The far-left New York Times caved to the leftist Twitter mob with a major switch in headlines between its first and second editions.
The first print edition’s headline read, “Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism.”
But after the Blue Checkmark Mafia freaked out, the Times caved with a late edition headline that reads, “Assailing Hate But Not Guns.”
New York Times print editor Tom Jolly tweeted out the original edition.
Tomorrow’s @nytimes tonight: @realDonaldTrump urges unity vs. racism and condemns “slaughters,” but says little about gun control; China employs currency in trade feud, jolting markets. #nytimes pic.twitter.com/krrVxlFUWf

Within an hour, through, the Times had caved to the left’s demand that President Trump never-ever-ever receive even a neutral headline.

After the original edition was revealed, and even though we are constantly told that criticizing the media is a form of violence, the Times was assaulted through social media by all the usual suspects.
Are you fucking kidding me, @nytimes?
"Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism" is an utterly absurd characterization of how Trump has addressed the mass shootings fueled by his unabashed white supremacy and his party's opposition to gun control. Trump isn't unifying, he is culpable. pic.twitter.com/8Y1UJTIITJ

Actually, the second headline is better. Hate is the problem, not guns. Odd, though, that the left would choose to pinpoint themselves as the problem.
Has’nt the New York Pravda always been a leftists rag anyway this liberal rag covered up for Lenin,Stalin,Castro and Mao
I read that, thought “That’s nice for a change”, and moved on.
Couldn’t believe the backlash. Seems the Leftest cabal of idiocy is finally crumbling. First deGrasse Tyson, then Tulsi and Google, and now this.
Good to see the Leftists are learning how dangerous other Leftists can be when they stray from the faith.
