The New York Times has broken ranks with the the establishment media, publishing an effective mea culpa over the mainstream denial of migrant-related gang crime in Sweden. The paper — which previously mocked President Trump for highlighting Sweden’s migrant crime problems — published over 1,500 words on the subject in its Sunday edition this weekend, stating:
Weapons from a faraway, long-ago war are flowing into immigrant neighborhoods here, puncturing Swedes’ sense of confidence and security. The country’s murder rate remains low, by American standards, and violent crime is stable or dropping in many places. But gang-related assaults and shootings are becoming more frequent, and the number of neighborhoods categorized by the police as “marred by crime, social unrest and insecurity” is rising. Crime and immigration are certain to be key issues in September’s general election, alongside the traditional debates over education and health care.
Sweden’s immigration problems have been reported on by Breitbart London since 2015, when the site dispatched reporters to the country to describe the worsening conditions in many migrant-dominated suburbs.
Additionally, Breitbart London interviewed Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Akesson, the only politician in the country willing to speak openly about the problems. The establishment media dismissed Akesson and his Sweden Democrats as “neo Nazi”, but the party currently commands third place, with 17.3 per cent in the polls ahead of September’s elections.
In February last year, President Trump attempted to highlight the situation in Sweden, telling a campaign rally: “…look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this?”
Immediately, the establishment media kicked in to deny Sweden’s mass migration problems. The Washington Post said he left Europeans “baffled”, while Politico spun the lines of pro mass migration campaigners to deny the situation. CNN went even further, lampooning the soon-to-be President’s warnings

And who do we have to thank for these “standards”? Seems one group sticks out beyond any other group for this crap. And this group does not limit its violence to the USA. Isn’t “Multiculturalism “ great?
Sneaking suspicion that “dropping” crime rate is an artifact of politicized reporting methodology.
What’s the murder rate for Swedish-Americans here in the US?
About the same as most European-Americans.
Caucasian folk just are not the problem.
The Muslims are raping and murdering the Europeans.
Hillary would have let in a flood of Muslim refugees.
Islam is overrunning Europe as Mexicans are overrunning California.
The goal of Islam is world domination
Socialists are committing genocide of white farmers in South Africa after taking their land by a new law.
We have freedom in America only as long as Trump is president.
Remove from people from the “American standards” equation and the get back to me.

Thanks blam.
The NYT is a swill mill that deserves no creds. So every once in a great while they play the game so that it won’t get trashed which is what it deserves.
