The New York Times poo-pooed the long-standing tradition of television stations airing the “The Star-Spangled Banner” because some night owl viewers could be offended by the “politically charged” national anthem.
The piece, written by culture reporter Julia Jacobs and published Wednesday, is headlined “Local TV Revives a Bygone Tradition: Airing the National Anthem,” and declares that the song can “be a dividing line” for some Americans.Source“In the span of a week, the Washington Post calls a terrorist psychopath a 'religious scholar' and the Times is upset about the national anthem being played. These are supposed to be America's top two news publications, and they seemingly hate America.”
