NYT Does Not Explain Boko Haram Targeted Victims Because They Were Christian

The New York Times has published an April 11 article about over a hundred of the women who were kidnapped as girls by Boko Haram in Nigeria in 2014 and who have subsequently been returned. The story is accompanied by rather impressive graphics featuring the women. Yet for all the effort placed upon those graphics, little work seems to have been done to explain just why those women were kidnapped in the first place: namely because they were Christians. Also missing in the article is any detailed explanation about the ideology of Boko Haram itself that induced them to victimize Christians.

New York Times reporter Dionne Searcey avoided the all too obvious in Kidnapped as Schoolgirls by Boko Haram: Here They Are Now:

Another example of the New York Times basically doing an historical rewrite by ignoring the big REASON the Nigerian girls were kidnapped by the ISIS affiliate known as Boko Haram.

Half of the creeps at the NYT figure they had it coming, the other half is undecided.

Someone at the NYT is bucking for a Walter Duranty Award for ignoring tyrrany.
