New York Times: Nazis, They’re Just Like You!

In The Young Turks on YouTube by Chris Houck1 Comment

 

The New York times is sorry they offended readers with a tone-deaf article profiling a modern white nationalist. Cenk Uygur and Brett Erlich, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“The New York Times on Sunday defended its reporting on a co-founder of the neo-Nazi Traditionalist Worker Party. The profile, by Richard Fausset, was widely criticized as being sympathetic to its fascist subject.

“The point of the story was not to normalize anything but to describe the degree to which hate and extremism have become far more normal in American life than many of us want to think,” wrote Marc Lacey, the Times’ national editor, in a response to reader criticism. (The paper’s public editor position was eliminated after Liz Spayd’s departure over the summer.)”

  1. NYT made a mistake, a stupid one. Let it go.

    Helping make Orange Treason more deranged is their job, and they do that quite well, along with WAPO.

    Treasonous president exposers, these two media giants. First Tricky, now Nazi.
