NRA Obliterates NY Time's Condescending Oscars Ad
'All the news that's fit to print, now that our favorite President is out of office.'
Yesterday, TruthRevolt's Trey Sanchez wrote about the first ad the New York Times has run in seven years, broadcast during Sunday night's Oscars ceremony:
Capitalizing on the Trump administration sound bites of “fake news” and “alternative facts,” The Gray Lady's ad used a static white background with the words “The truth is…” displayed on the screen. One by one, voices say, “The truth is the media is dishonest.” “The truth is his refugee policy is a backdoor Muslim ban.” “The truth is we need a full investigation of Russian ties.” “The Truth is alternative facts are just lies.” The audio increased in pace and cachophony as voices mixed in faster and faster until you can barely make out what’s being said and then it goes quiet to reveal, “The truth is hard.”
Then more additions: “The truth is hard to know.” “The truth is more important now than ever.”
Finally, there’s a prompt at the end to let you know where to find the truth: “The New York Times.” (Of course.)
If there were ever a commercial ripe for a parody, this is it. Thankfully, the National Rifle Association didn't waste time. However, they didn't simply make fun of the New York Times ad. Instead, they obliterated it with a scathing critique. Mimicking the same format as the NYT piece, the NRA's ad reads:
"The New York Times placed an ad during the Oscars to tell us that the truth is more important now. But why now? The truth is that the truth didn't matter to The New York Times then as much as now—because as long as liberals were "progressing," the truth was depressing. America has stopped looking to The New York Times for the truth, now more than ever. The times are burning and the media elites have been caught holding the match."
Of course, this really cuts to the heart of the matter. The New York Times has been silent over the Obama administration's egregious assault on liberty for eight long years. We're supposed to take them seriously now? (Especially when their very ad was espousing fake news as they pretended to loathe fake news?)
Watch the NRA's response below... and get ready for a long four to eight years.

yeah, I mean, people actually expect objective thinkers to take fox seriously?
