It took them long enough, but the New York Times has finally apologized for that vile anti-Semitic cartoon published in its international edition:

Things were getting a little hot for the paper as even their own columnists were questioning WTF was going on:

“How have even the most blatant expressions of anti-Semitism become almost undetectable to editors who think it’s part of their job to stand up to bigotry?” https://t.co/5aEQulqron — Lahav Harkov (@LahavHarkov) April 28, 2019

And there’s still no explanation just how this vile cartoon made its way past the editors:

Still zero explanation about how it got published, who approved it and who made the editorial decisions behind it. But you guys keep patting yourselves on the back while demanding transparency from everyone else. Thumbs up, guys. https://t.co/LDe5binvAL — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) April 28, 2019

And you just know this is going to happen next:

The NY Times will probably win a Pulitzer for the story slamming the vile cartoon that appeared in the NY Times. — Doug Powers (@ThePowersThatBe) April 28, 2019
