As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Balenciaga is facing major backlash after a new ad depicted several young girls holding stuffed teddy bears in bondage gear.
In a secondary report, it was discovered Balenciaga used a copy of United States v. Williams which was a child pornography case decided by the Supreme Court, as a prop.
Only after major pushback ensued, Balenciaga apologized and sued the production company for the subliminal messages contained in the photo shoot.
Despite even apologizing for the shoot, The New York Times has just written a lengthy puff piece titled “When High Fashion and QAnon Collide”.
The article which took three journalists to write essentially protected Balenciaga in almost every line and blamed QAnon, Tucker Carlson, The New York Post, and Fox News for the new public belief the luxury brand condones child exploitation.
Here’s an excerpt from the New York Time’s puff piece:
Together, they ignited a firestorm that traveled from the internet to Fox News, fueled by allegations that Balenciaga condoned child exploitation. The controversy has become one of the most explicit collisions of internet culture, politics, fashion and conspiracy theories to date….
As online criticism of the campaigns spread, the story was picked up across right-leaning media outlets, including The New York Post and the prime time Fox News show “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” The show has helped to publicize and mainstream QAnon, the internet conspiracy theory that “a group of Satan-worshiping elites who run a child sex ring are trying to control our politics and media.”
“Here you have a major international retail brand promoting kiddie porn and sex with children,” Mr. Carlson told viewers on Nov. 22, “and not promoting it subtly but right out in the open.”
