    Yes the paper that is pretty much going to war with Trump would never do something like this....

    What conspiracy theory?

    Islamic terrorist committed 9/11, not airplanes. Nearly 3,000 were killed, not "more than 2,000".

    Do you think these people can't write? Writting is what they do. This isn't "clumsy" writting, this was intentional.

    Just like the NYT's man in Moscow, Walter Duranty, managed to overlook the Holodomor....

    My pleasure.

    The hail of bullets took aim at the victim.
    The victim died in a hail of bullets.

    While you and I are not qualified to say what the author meant, they said that planes took aim and that is just not possible.

    No reasonable person with basic understanding of emotional intelligence would read "So, now planes have a mind of their own." as outrage.

    Maybe the NYT just wanted to be PC as not to offend terrorists!

    "airplanes took aim"?

    How can airplanes take aim? They are inanimate objects.

    “AIRPLANES TOOK AIM:” NY Times Shamefully Goes The Ilhan Omar Route In Describing How 9/11 Happened.

    [​IMG]

    Five months ago, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said “some people did something” in a CAIR speech she gave where she talked about the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks. The “some people” she was referring to, of course, were the radical Islamic terrorists who “did something” by committing the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 innocent people.

    The Fake News Propagandists NYT's also noted the WTC was where “more than 2,000 people died” rather than accurately reporting it was where “nearly 3,000 people” were killed.

    Left-wingers on NYT tweet: "clumsy phrasing"
    Left-wingers on Trump: "Liar", "Hitler", "KKK", "***hole", "Idiot", "uneducated", "traitor", "Russian stooge", etc. etc. etc

    Got it!

    The Link in the OP (from a Ridiculous RW Fever Swamp FAKE News Site--That isn't even worthy of being used as a "source") is trying to stir the pot with an Imbecilic "Narrative".

    Still, (and not referring to you personally) according to the RW Fever Swamp--Airplanes had nothing to do with 9/11.

    Apparently, "Gateway Pundit" (One of the Internet's Leading Comedy Sites--With less credibility than The Onion) thought they would get some love from the Fever Swampers by spreading that BS? :roflol: :bored:

    That isn't what they said.

    They didn't say "He died as a hail of bullets took aim at him". They literally said "airplanes aimed at the trade towers".

    No. One gives the decision, to an inanimate object. The other does not.

    The truth is, the left has a really hard time assign responsibility. Pretty much in all aspects of their political ideology. This is no exception.

    *shrug*. Please point to ME being inconsistent, rather than being mentally lazy and treating all people you disagree with as if they are the same person.

    Apparently the new tweet reads -

    “18 years after nearly 3,000 people were lost, families of those killed in the terror attacks will gather at the 9/11 memorial. There will be a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., then the names of the dead — one by one — will be recited.”

    https://www.thewrap.com/ny-times-updates-deletes-tweet9-11-airplanes-took-aim-twin-towers/

    Better, but they still seem to have some amnesia regarding the radical Islamist part.

    NYT = Fake News, so much Fake News.
    The paper has become consistently unreliable since it fired its copy editors.

    Should have seen it coming, San Franshithole County Supervisors and City Council are behind closed doors talking about declaring Boeing as a “domestic terrorist organization.”

    First they went after the NRA and now Boeing,

    Who's next ?

    For the record, you pulled that spectacularly lame "Airplanes had nothing to do with 9/11" red herring out of your own ass.

    Your encore sucked, too... :bored:
