Speak for yourself.

I see that sarcasm is lost on more than the just the New Yorker's low-brow targets As a side note this is the kind of thing that sometimes Pi$$ES people off about publications like the NY'er, despite the generally high regard I have for them, and is certainly contributing to the criticism. In this case, they just come off as being too intellectual and too sophisticated by half.

If you're going to make the leap from an already-rascist-nutjob being prodded into action by a cartoon, then I can make a very looooong list of similar situations that should also require..what's the word I'm looking for

There was a time in this country when right-thinking produced a restriction on the media that forbade "advocacy" of criminal behavior.

The good old days? Again, I am not suggesting that they do not or should not have the right to publish this or anything else. I am not a proponent of censorship and I recognize the cover for what it is. However, it is in poor taste and perhaps more irresponsible than the rest of the 'circumstances' on your long list which unlike this one likely originated from ignorant or biased sources.
