By now, you’ve probably heard that The New York Times, that once respected bastion of journalistic integrity, has gone all-in on trashing GOP hopeful Marco Rubio. In two recently run pieces, they have proven that their idea of front-page news isn’t exactly that of the average American. Fortunately, the American public collectively rolled their eyes, turning this into an opportunity to have a great deal of fun at the Times’ expense.

In the first piece, which came out on June 5, they bring to light the traffic violations (yes, seriously) of Marco Rubio and his wife Jeanette. That’s right, speeding tickets on the front page of The New York Times. Jon Stewart mocked the piece on The Daily Show, saying “Marco Rubio got four tickets in 17 years! I assume The New York Times obtained this information from Marco Rubio’s plaque in the Hall of Best Miami Drivers Ever … How’s Rubio going to talk his way out of this total scandal?”

Twitter responded with a hashtag: #MarcoRubioCrimeSpree to mock the “coverage.”

Called Chris Matthews, asked him if his refrigerator was running..

Of course, The New York Times didn’t end it there. Four days later, on June 9, they ran a story about his so-called “financial struggles.” The article paints a picture of Rubio like so many other Americans; a man with a mortgage and student loans. It goes on to point out that, when he was paid $800,000 to write his book American Son, he paid off $100,000 of student debt and spent $80,000 of his paycheck on a fishing boat. Of this story, Stewart said, “Paying off law school loans? How dare you? At long last, Senator, have you no sense of insolvency?” He then asked a question so many have been wondering “How is this front page news? I can’t think of a single person who would be bothered by this.”

This article also spawned a hashtag #MarcoRubioSpendingSpree

To top it all off, I leave you with the hilarious video Rubio Vice.

Sorry, New York Times. In the age of Internet response, you’re going to have to raise the bar.
