Hey there NYT! Last week your "fun" news quiz posed the following quirky question:
"Israel waged an intense air campaign against Hezbollah on Monday, striking more than 1,000 sites and killing more than 500 people. It was the deadliest day in Lebanon since when?"
Your fun quiz also asked this weighty head-scratcher:
"Memes about a sassy pygmy hippo called Moo Deng have proliferated online. What does her name translate to?"
I have a question in return. Where did you learn your trade?

From the biography "Kristofferson: The Wild American" by Stephen Miller:
Kristofferson's political stand helped ensure that his name received a black mark within the show-business establishment, as he said, "'Particularly in LA, I found a considerable lack of work after doing concerts for the Palestinian children and for a couple of gigs with Vanessa Redgrave and if that's the way it has to be, that's the way it has to be. If you support human rights, you gotta support them everywhere."

Your coverage of Nasrallah’s death on Saturday was absolutely DISGUSTING.

Is it not true that 99% of illegal contraband enters the country through legal entry points via US Citizens?

Trump’s dialogue is mean-spirited.

When you steal land and slaughter millions to keep it, I guess you can call it whatever you want right?

No one cares what happens to the Houthi’s, or is sad to see them go.
Condolences to your friends and family, NYT. I’m sure it hurts.
