The New York Times is keeping readers in the dark about Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ embrace of population control, including abortion, as a means of combating climate change.
Sanders was asked during CNN’s climate town hall on Wednesday whether he would support measures to curb population growth in order to protect the climate. The Vermont senator answered yes, and said using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion abroad, “especially in poor countries around the world,” is something he “very, very strongly” supports.

Sanders’ endorsement of population control drew a sharp backlash, and was covered by some establishment outlets like the BBC, including right-of-center media.
“Let’s just state for the record: talking about needing ‘population control’ through ABORTION for the sake of CLIMATE is talking about EUGENICS,” CNN host S.E. Cupp commented on Twitter. “The fact that @BernieSanders is willing to entertain this vile idea is not only disgusting, it should be disqualifying,” she added.
“By advocating taxpayer-funded abortion in ‘poor countries,’ Sanders not only exaggerates the environmental threat of overpopulation but also displays grotesque chauvinism in his demand that the world comply with the West’s determination to exterminate our future,” wrote National Review’s Alexandra DeSanctis.
Despite the uproar over Sanders’ endorsement of population control, the New York Times did not mention Sanders’ comments once in its coverage of the CNN town hall. The paper published several stories on the town hall, but none that mentioned Sanders’ population control remarks.
The Times did not return an email inquiring on the paper’s lack of coverage of Sanders’ comments.
What positives, exactly, has Sanders contributed to the world?
If Trump had said he wanted poor countries to produce fewer children he would be condemned by the times as a racist.
If the West wanted to become colonial masters of the world again, it’s hard to think of a better scheme than to effectively sterilize the Third World, while removing birth control from the Western countries.
Bernie’s already talking the first...lucky no one bothered to watch that ‘town hall’ as I’m not sure the Left would like his approach very much.
He made HILLIARY look NORMAL......almost.
Wait. What? Don't they all think that? Is the idea of population control news to S.E.?
Has she never heard of UN Agenda 21?
Does America understand what dictatorship looks like? I wonder, because I cannot think of a single Democratic candidate which is not a constant and clear endorsement for the establishment of a brutal dictatorship. Dictatorships take by force all of your rights and freedoms right down to your right to live. They get power through promoting division through lies and they promise freedom and stuff while garnering power with the naïve and ignorant. They love to blame the innocent for the sins of the guilty in hopes that the guilty will prove to be a reliable force when they get the revolution they so desire. Why anyone would vote for a Democrat for any office what-so-ever in 2020 or in the future with ideas like we heard about through that CNN seven hour town hall is mind boggling. Is 75% of our population on mind altering drugs?!
I don’t see anything positive or good Sanders would do for humanity or anything else.
When you've lost pseudo intellectual S.E. Cupp you are really in trouble.
Africa, India, Bangladesh... Where else Bernie?
The New York Times had very legitimate reasons for not covering Sanders’ remarks.
They were worried that their readers would decide to kill themselves to save the environment!
The reporter asked if Sanders supported curbing population growth as a means for protecting the climate.
But what Sanders really needs to be asked, is if his real goal is actually depopulation of the earth, and whether he is using the phony issue of man-caused climate change as a mere cudgel to beat policymakers into promoting birth control, abortion, and forced sterilization, and to scare ordinary people into no longer wanting large families, or deciding not to have any children at all.
None of the world-class “thought leaders” pushing the myth of man-made global warming care one whit about weather or climate. They are all obsessed with depopulation. Their goal is to reduce the human population of the earth from 8 plus billion souls presently down to less than 1 billion (the less than 1 billion including themselves, naturally).
Guys like Sanders (and gals like Ruth Bader Ginsberg) need to be asked what methods they favor for “culling the herd” from over 8 billion down to below 1 billion after their plans to eliminate global population growth have been brought to their fruition. More importantly, they should be asked if they don’t even intend to wait until after they’ve achieved zero population growth before commencing the final herd culling process.
Bernie revealed what he is. The fact that the NYT spiked this is very interesting. First they know how bad it is and second they choose to protect the evil monster who said it.
"Swedish behavioural scientist Magnus Söderlund has suggested that eating other people after they die could be a means of combatting climate change."
Prob not Mexico. The left allows them, wants them to come here and have 10 or 16 kids in our hospitals.
You know who isn’t having abortions or smaller families?
Muslims.
Let Berne suggest Middle East countries get abortions paid for by the US.
What positives has Bernie contributed...?
I’m hoping he offers to abort himself.
Lots of Democrats think that way, but openly espousing it is a big no-no.
