Seriously, what the hell is wrong with The New Yorker, and why are they writing delusional shit, claiming it's humor to hide the fact they are no longer journalists, but shills? (archive.ph)

Put Andy Borowitz into a search engine and switch to images. This guy doesn't even have a nose anymore, that's a trunk.

This is just the entire "Republican attack on Big Bird" narrative taken to its (il)logical extreme.

They are scrambling to portray objections to literal big pharma propaganda aimed at children as frivolously as they possibly can. It's like climate propagandists hiding behind Greta while anyone who dares criticize her rhetoric is accused of attacking a child.

If that's the route they want to take, maybe it's time to start naming names instead of letting them hide behind a children's show character:

  • Benjamin Lehmann (Executive Producer)

  • Ken Scarborough (Head Writer)

Sesame Workshop:

  • Steve Youngwood (CEO)

  • Sherrie Westin (President)

  • Vincent A. Mai (Chairman)

Isn’t satire supposed to be humorous?

This. I just don't get it. So, Ted Cruz is a monster but he's too monstrous for Oscar the Grouch? Is that the point? OK, and... what else? This is just more "Ooooh, scary republicans are coming to get you!". I can hear that all day every day if I want to.

Sesame Street (including Oscar) are pushing the injection onto kids. Cruz criticized the media for being Democrat puppets, showing CNN and Biden were involved. The media then decided to keep pushing further.

I can't tell if this fake after all the political shit Sesame Street has done recently, including going on CNN to promote gene therapy injections to minors (with a new untested component).

edit: It's close enough

Ted Cruz: We always knew the media were the Dems’ puppets, but this is getting ridiculous. (image of Biden congratulating BigBird on getting the shot)

Oscar the Grouch: Well this stinks. Apparently, the COVID-19 vaccines won’t make you feel grouchy at all! That's what @KizzyPhD said at today's town hall, anyway. You might get a sore arm and feel tired, so at least there’s that.

alternate title: two actors congratulate eachother for something neither of them did

In a rare press conference at his trash can, Oscar said that he had supported Cruz’s political career for years “to show solidarity with a fellow-monster.”

Why is a childrens show taking sides in politics

“Don’t get me wrong—I can’t stand Big Bird,” he said. “His relentless sunniness, to me, is intolerable. But that’s no excuse for Ted Cruz to go off like an asshat.”

This reads like fanfic.

oh satire. even more gaytarded.

For some reason I always get DNS errors when tying to access archive.ph. Whats up with that?

Cloudflare's DNS-over-HTTPS service doesn't leak information about you to the site you're looking for. The admin of Archive.is/today/etc doesn't like that, so he refuses to honour those DNS requests.

Edit: From the horse's mouth.

Your provider may be blocking you. You can try switching to OpenDNS, or some other DNS solution. If it's a firewall, VPN or Tor. You can also just switch 'ph' to one of the other ones.
