NY Times Hides Sliming of GOP in ‘Fun’ Quiz: Relies on ‘Voter Suppression,’ Skewing Census
10th August 2019
The New York Times article posed as a “fun” interactive quiz but hid some nasty Republican sliming in the text, accusing the GOP of conspiring to hold on to office via “voter suppression or attempts to skew the census” : “Quiz: Let Us Predict Whether You’re a Democrat or a Republican.”
It’s a creation of Sahil Chinoy, a graphics editor for the Times Opinion section, similar to his previous “graphics” story in July, in which one of his graphics showed a major swerve to the left by the Democrats since 2008 but which was downplayed in the text, in favor of the story’s intended takeaway of Republicans careening toward the “far right.”
