An Idiot’s Guide to Glowing Coverage in the New York Times

Looking for New York Times sympathetic coverage? Here’s a hack: Earn an advanced degree, then commit a violent crime in the service of your radical politics. 

We closely monitored the cases of Colinford Mattis and Urooj RahmanNew York City lawyers who threw a Molotov cocktail in a police cruiser on May 20, 2020. According to the New York Times, their legal careers were hampered by this incident. “a Molotov cocktail ignited the center console of an empty police car during a Black Lives Matter protest.” Rotten luck! 

Rahman went to Fordham. Mattis attended Princeton and NYU. They are exactly the type of people the New York Times needs. Always keep telling us the criminal justice system favors—unjustifiably. 

Trump’s administration reached an agreement to plead guilty with the defendants. Six of the seven charges against them were dropped, but they argued that the incident qualifies for a “terrorism enhancement” that would have given them a steeper sentence. The Biden Justice department then laid out the red carpet. Rahman and Mattis were allowed to plead guilty to a lesser charge Asking for a light sentence from the court 

Enter the New York Times, on the eve of Mattis’s sentencing, for a window into how the mainstream media’s blinkered view of the world skews news coverage. The paper omitted the details of Team Biden’s lenient approach but swooped in to inform readers that Rahman and Mattis are “both first-time offenders” Who “had been high achievers.” Rahman was “the primary caretaker of her aging mother,” Mattis, one of three foster children. 

Funny thing is, we didn’t get those loving details about the hundreds January 6 defendants. Thomas WebsterFormer New York Police Department officer and former Marine was convicted for assault. Dustin ThompsonOhio exterminator, who stole a bottle bourbon from the Capitol and a coat rack. Whether they were first-time offenders, high achievers, caretakers for aging parents, or guardians of foster children, we’ll never know. 

This is exactly what you should do.
