Don't You Know that it is OK for the New York Times to Engage in Racism, Sexism, Ageism - They Have Good Intentions

New York Times Sued for Racism, Sexism, Ageism | The American Spectator

by Jeffrey Lord May 16, 2016

Trump front page story a pinup of liberal media double-standard.

So.

Here is the front page New York Times story from Sunday:
Crossing the Line: Trump’s Private Conduct With Women
Beneath the header is this:
Interviews with dozens of women who encountered Donald J. Trump revealed unsettling conduct over decades.

They offer a complex and at times contradictory portrait of a man who both nurtured women’s careers and mocked their physical appearance.
Among other charges in this story, the Times accuses Trump “of unending commentary on the female form, a shrewd reliance on ambitious women, and unsettling workplace conduct…”

What does the New York Times — the so-called “paper of record” — not tell you in this story? How about what could surely be called the “unsettling conduct” of the Times itself ?
Specifically, it does not say that a mere 18 days earlier on April 28, 2016 — not just four decades ago, as it accuses Trump — the New York Times was accused in a federal lawsuit filed of not only sexism but racism and ageism to boot. And that would be in a lawsuit filed by employees of — yes — the New York Times.
