NY Times’ Strange New Respect for Cops: Noor Conviction ‘Seen by Some as…Double Standard’
8th June 2019
When The New York Times‘s hostility to police collides with the unyielding demands of solidarity and multiculturism, we get upside-down reporting like the kind that appeared in Saturday’s New York Times, when reporters Matt Furber and Mitch Smith question the harsh sentencing of a former police officer, Somali-American Mohammed Noor, found guilty in a woman’s death: “Over 12 Years in Prison for Minneapolis Officer in Woman’s Death.”
Substitute “seen by some” with “seen by Times journalists” in the weasel-worded text box: “Far from building trust in the system, a case came to be seen by some as a sign of a double standard.”
After the guilty verdict in May, Times reporter John Eligon, who has spent years criticizing police in the aftermath of racially charged shootings, did a 180-degree turn and showed bizarre new concern over alleged unfair treatment of cops.
Lenin said it best: ‘Who? Whom?’. If you’ve been following the Powerline coverage of the trial, you know that the Times had a seat reserved in the courtroom for the trial, which seat was never occupied. So this is not about what happened at the trial, or the evidence, or even the case. This is about the Narrative, and according to the Narrative, the search is for the Victim, which means the search for whomever has the most Pokemon Victim Points. In this case, the convicted cop is Muslim and Somali, so he wins.
