NYT prints story about senator’s corruption trial without mentioning he's a DEMOCRAT

DEMOCRATS​

The New York Times published an almost 1300-word news story on Monday night about Democrat New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez’s corruption trial, without ever mentioning Menendez’s party affiliation.

Both in print and on social media, the NYT failed to inform its readers that Sen. Menendez is a Democrat.

The NYT wasn’t without opportunities to inform its readers which party Menendez belongs to: the paper referred to Menendez 29 times in the story, without mentioning that Menendez is a Democrat.

The paper referred to him as ” The senator,” “Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey,” and “Mr. Menendez, a senior senator,” before referring to him as “Mr. Menendez” or “the senator” for the rest of the story.

Only after a barrage of online criticism did the NYT finally admit that Menendez is a Democrat.

The NYT was able to fix the "omission" before Tuesday’s paper went out. On Tuesday morning, however, neither the NYT’s online nor its print coverage noted that the story had been changed.

Update on DEMOCRAT corruption trial.


After a long criminal probe and several years of legal wrangling, the corruption trial of New Jersey DEMOCRAT Sen. Robert Menendez opened Wednesday in Newark.

Menendez, DEMOCRAT and New Jersey's senior senator, is charged with doing official favors for his friend and co-defendant, Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen, in exchange for expensive hotel stays, private jet flights and hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions.

Shortly after court proceedings began, defense attorney Raymond Brown criticized Judge William H. Walls for rejecting DEMOCRAT Menendez’s request that the trial be recessed on days where the Senate is taking “critical” votes, so that the DEMOCRAT senator can be in Washington.

Brown said that Walls was “ speculative as to our motives.” Brown and Walls then began talking over each other.

“Shut up for a moment if you don’t mind,” Walls said. “I said what I said” to “underscore what I considered the lack of merits in this motion," Walls added.

When DEMOCRATS deny their media is fake news, show them this:

The AP and NBC both tweeted out a story that indicates Bob Menendez is a Republican.
