Not content with clearing out non-woke words from its newly acquired Wordle game, the NYT turns its attention to converting its crossword puzzle to the same propaganda rag as the rest of the paper

NYT Mocked for using “vice encouraged by capitalism” as a clue for “greed”

The New York Times was slammed online over a crossword puzzle hint for the word 'greed' as they referred to it as a vice linked to capitalism. 

On Tuesday's crossword, the Times had the clue 'vice encouraged by capitalism,' to which the answer was greed, causing an uproar as people accused the paper for stoking anti-capitalism sentiments while at the same time profiting off the system.

On Twitter, journalist Clifford May, a former Times writer, tweeted, 'Years ago, when I worked there, it was a great newspaper. If it stays on the current trajectory it won't be a newspaper at all. Just another propaganda outlet.'

Another Twitter user with the handle name Charlie wrote, 'NY Times charges for their crossword puzzle. Is that an example of capitalist greed,' referring to the company charging $6.95 for its crossword puzzle subscription.

Even Greenwich’s own, Cliff Asness piled on.
