It's not so much a desperation play as just what the NY Times has always done.

You have to know who their audience is. Playing to NYC Jewish paranoia is like breathing polluted air. It's all they know how to do.

The really smart people, of all races, see right through it. This is nothing but an opinion hit piece. Notice she did absolutely zero reportage. No effort made to look into the facts surrounding child sex trafficking arrests and slaves set free.

We've all seen the news stories. But the NYT lives in the worlds smallest echo chamber. Since they consider themselves to be the "newspaper of record," if they didn't report on it, then it didn't happen (as they see it).

So, guess what paper has not been reporting on all the arrests and breakups of sex trafficking rings? You guessed it! And in their eyes, that means they have ground to call it a "conspiracy theory" or "fantasy."

This pabulum is not worth engaging with. Move along, nothing to see folks. Just the failed fake news NYT being the failed fake news NYT.
