"Balanced" Coverage

A race war that wasn't.

“The press,” Rosenthal wrote, “treats it all as some kind of cultural clash between a poverty-ridden people fed up with life and a powerful, prosperous and unfortunately peculiar bunch of stuck-up neighbors — very sad of course, but certainly understandable. No — it is an anti-Semitic pogrom and the words should not be left unsaid.”

The story is about how in 1991 the New York Times framed a story as a race war between blacks and jews that was more accurately "an anti-Semitic pogrom."

Awful. But this is what you get when you privilege equality and diversity over the truth and fairness.
