New York Times Distorts Crime Reporting




[From article]
The paper of record seems more interested in suggesting that the shooting was the result of a culture poisoned by racism and homophobia than in continuing to inform readers of the facts. This approach—pinning blame on a broader climate rather than on specific perpetrators for acts of violence—will be familiar to regular Times readers, and it has a long pedigree.

It now seems that in France, as in the United States, the Left can use almost any terrible incident as a “teachable moment” to urge national repentance for the nation’s many sins—past and present.
