In
her ad, Kardashian — who is of Armenian descent — wrote several
paragraphs under the title “Genocide Denial Cannot Be Allowed.”
Kardashian wrote on her blog essentially the same words about the WSJ and the controversial ad when it was released, but the audience for the New York Times is a little different.
“Money
talks, and right now it’s talking crap,” she began. “My family and I
are no strangers to BS in the press. We’ve learned to brush it off. Lies
make good headlines, good headlines make great covers, great covers
sell magazines. But when I heard about this full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal denying the Armenian genocide, I couldn’t just brush it off.”
Kardashian
writes that the organization behind the ad believes “not as many people
died as historians say, and that the Armenians were to blame.”
“For the Wall Street Journal
to publish something like this is reckless, upsetting, and dangerous,”
she continued. “It’s one thing when a crappy tabloid profits from a
made-up scandal, but for a trusted publication like the WSJ to profit
from genocide — it’s shameful and unacceptable.”
The
Kimoji creator also bashed the newspaper for defending its choice to
print the ad, because it publishes what it called “provocative”
viewpoints.
“If
this had been an ad denying the Holocaust, or pushing some 9/11
conspiracy theory, would it have made it to print?” Kardashian asked.
She
closed by stating: “We have to be responsible for the message that we
pass on to our children. We have to honor the truth in our history so
that we protect their future. We have to do better than this.”
