The lede for the Mormon's obit is more negative than the lede for the Commie's obit. Outrage ensues.

One was a ruthless dictator responsible for the death of thousands and the misery of millions. The other said two dudes shouldn't get married. The NYT seems to be more worried about the latter.

That obit headline for Pres Monson is asinine. Yes, he (and the whole LDS church) has had its share of bad behavior, but the guy (and the church) did and does a hell of a lot of good in the world as well.

To focus solely on those two data points is absolutely ridiculous.

As much as the LDS guy's obit might be unfair to him, it should be clear to anyone that the Castro headline isn't intended to sum up his whole legacy. Castro's story is huge, and the paper expects you to know that.

To present this as "a tale of two obituaries" indicting NYT (or LIBERAL ELITIST OMG!!1!) bias is just silly.

If you look closely, you can see that the Castro tweet was from a year ago.

Just a reactionary.

Oh, you mean Huma Abedin? She was HRC's top aide during the campaign. (She was also married to Scott Weiner.) Her laptop became part of the BUT HER EMAILS! fantasia that gave us President Trump.

Next you're going to have a problem with his tan suit.

You guys need to find a better target. Drumpf has won the most terribad president evar by several orders of magnitude.

Drumpf has out stupided Obama's entire 8 years just this morning.

On the plus side, no one is going to complain about Bush ever again, so that's sort of a consolation prize.

I don't know if you recall, but Bush was also against careless generalisations about Islam, and that was during an actual large scale terrorist attack and it's aftermath.

It was his finest moment of his leadership of the free world, imo.

For the moment, let's ignore the fact that Eric Trump is wearing a sombrero to celebrate his 34th birthday at a Mexican restaurant. Instead, let's focus on the fact that he has a Fudgie the Whale birthday cake. Fudgie the goddamn Whale! WTF???

Every family has an Eric. And they all hope he’ll find his calling some day. But until then, the Eric’s of the world will continue to live in the basement, tell everyone they have a girlfriend in Canada, and collect action figures.

Maybe the Mormon dude was relevant to some of their readers and/or staff?

It's my understanding that one lived in America and worked to make some Americans' lives worse, and the other was a dictator that refused to be a puppet of America. Admittedly there's not much worse than a dictator that won't play ball.

I can tell you right now that I have a lot more negative things to say about my neighbour bob than I do about some American Mormon dude, so maybe it's a relevancy thing?

Also, who gives a crap?

Donald Trump when Eric was ten:
"Fudgie the what? A WHALE? You can have a goddam Fudgie the Whale Cake when I'm GODDAM PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Now get the hell out. Friends is on and it's got those chicks with the boobs."

As an American whose life was directly affected by Mormon dude's attempts to make some of our lives worse, I will state that Castro was far, far, far worse. He tried to get the Russians to nuke the US during the Cuban Missile Crisis, to the extent that the Russians thought he was insane.

No contest.

Um, it's not a contest.

Thinking it is, and that the NYT has some malevolent reasons for not admitting who the real winner is is what got us here in the first place.

Presumably she's referring to the guy that was fired by Google for publishing a memo stating that women are genetically incapable of being good at technology.
:roll:
That's not what he said. He said men and women are different. Breaking news! He also said that Google doesn't have a diversity of opinion. Ironically he was fired for voicing an opinion that might be contrary to what others thought.
He got fired for creating a controversy that put his employer in an unwanted spotlight. He got to enjoy his freedom of speech, and also the consequences of that speech. It's a win-win situation.
James Damore just filed a class action lawsuit against Google, saying it discriminates against white male conservatives

They are allowed to discriminate against conservatives. Good luck proving the male part. Or the white part.

Presumably this will be thrown out/disallowed the first time a judge sees it.

Hilariously, Google is currently being sued by several women for discriminating against women. I realize that the details probably make sense, but on the surface, I find it funny that a company can be guilty of discriminating against both genders at the same time.
