Yesterday we shared with you a piping hot take that was published in the Washington Post as the anniversary of the first manned moon landing fast approaches:

‘Take down the flag’! WaPo reveals that the Apollo 11 landing was actually pretty ‘racist and sexist’ https://t.co/Nqx4soRN7q — Twitchy Team (@TwitchyTeam) July 16, 2019

If that wasn’t stupid enough, the New York Times looked at the WaPo, said “hold our beer,” and then ran with this:

The Apollo program was designed by men, for men. If we do not acknowledge the gender bias of the early space program, it becomes difficult to move past it. https://t.co/Mt7rVLgAaf — The New York Times (@nytimes) July 17, 2019

They’re trying WAY too hard, aren’t they?

So we're really going to do this stupid s*** https://t.co/EgxkgsW6pa — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) July 17, 2019

This is the dumbest thing I've read all week and I work in Congress. https://t.co/6RWT7rlHRB — Natalie Johnson (@nataliejohnsonn) July 17, 2019

People writing articles like this are literally going out of their way to find things to get offended by. Give it a rest already. — Christian (@AllRise90) July 17, 2019

It’s better than them focusing on Chris Pratt’s shirt, but just barely.

NASA and the Apollo crews clearly owe us all an apology https://t.co/u0nK2znLIG — John Noonan (@noonanjo) July 17, 2019

You do realize women have been in space for four decades now, right? — JWF (@JammieWF) July 17, 2019

Thank god for the NYT and their stupid article, otherwise your daughter would be consigned to a future of making sandwiches. — Angus T. Kirk (@angusparvo) July 17, 2019

The New York Times was founded by men and run by men for years. What the hell am I supposed to take from this? https://t.co/MWz5T7PDOM — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) July 17, 2019

Maybe the Times should relocate their office to the moon.
