If only white voters or white candidates were demanding change, there wouldn\u2019t be a story, at least a sympathetic one. But with nonwhites wanting it, the Times is on board and effectively granting permission for Dems to adopt an anti-crime platform for the fall midterms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There is no moral imperative or great awakening to the paper\u2019s flip-flop, only a partisan fervor to beat Republicans. Compassion for crime victims doesn\u2019t seem to have played a role.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>And this being the Times, there is no admission of error about its past role. Consider that in January of this year, in a \u201cnewsletter\u201d that ran online, the paper noted that murder rates had risen nearly 30% in 2020 over 2019, a jump of nearly 5,000 victims. The missive, without irony, lamented the lack of \u201cnational attention\u201d and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/18\/briefing\/crime-surge-homicides-us.html\">citing unspecified research<\/a>, said that was because \u201cWhite and affluent Americans have been less directly affected by the murder spike, but they\u2019re also more likely to influence what news outlets cover and what politicians talk about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The piece then added: \u201cThe violence remains a grave example of racial inequality in the US.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trying to unpack the double-talk and hypocrisy in that sequence can cause whiplash.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is, after all, the same newspaper that helped lead the mainstream media and Dems down the road to perdition and thus shares responsibility for the bloody carnage among nonwhite victims and the lack of attention they got.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Times\u2019 long-held, anti-police bias was key to its soft coverage of the violence associated with George Floyd protests in 2020. From front page to last, it supported the rioters\u2019 demand for racial justice, scorned Donald Trump\u2019s embrace of law enforcement and cheered claims from Joe Biden and other Dems that police were guilty of \u201csystemic racism.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Op-ed_embarrassment\"><\/span>Op-ed embarrassment\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/cotton.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Tom Cotton\" class=\"wp-image-22538310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/cotton.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/cotton.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/cotton.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Sen.

Tom Cotton\u2019s op-ed <\/a>calling for Trump to send in the military to quell the riots and restore order. The blowback from the Times staff was instantaneous as newsroom employees rebelled and labeled the piece \u201cfascistic\u201d and \u201cracist.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They demanded and got the resignation of James Bennet, the top opinion editor. Publisher A.G.

If the Times is your only source of news, you would have no idea about the vast scope of nationwide violence that continues to this day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the paper anguishes over the victims only when the perpetrator fits its preferred narrative of rampant white supremacy or the need for gun control. The narrative broke down when an anti-Semitic, black nationalist drove his car through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wis., killing six people and injuring 62 others, so the paper gave it short shrift.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/police-crime-2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Protesters gather outside of the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn to protest the death of George Floyd in 2020. \" class=\"wp-image-22538300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/police-crime-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/police-crime-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/police-crime-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Protesters gather outside of the Barclay\u2019s Center in Brooklyn to protest the death of George Floyd in 2020. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\"> Michael Nigro\/Sipa USA via AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Times continued to parrot far-left talking points about police racism even as crime engulfed its headquarters on Manhattan\u2019s West Side.

The paper for years magnified the radical argument that the largely white New York Police Department amounted to an occupying army in nonwhite neighborhoods.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Never mind that upwards of 90% of crime victims were nonwhite. It took a willful blindness for the paper not to see that the historic drops in violence under Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg benefitted those communities most and saved the lives of thousands of black and Latino New Yorkers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even as the NYPD became majority nonwhite, the Times never found much to like. When crime rates began to climb again as Mayor Bill de Blasio handcuffed the cops and the city\u2019s district attorneys decided to be social workers instead of prosecutors, the Times kept hammering the police and ignored the victims of crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And when black former cop Eric Adams was the only Democrat in last year\u2019s mayoral primary who made tackling crime his top agenda, the Times endorsed two of his rivals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But that was then, and this is now.
