The New York Times published an almost 1300-word news story in Tuesdays paper about Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendezs corruption trial, without ever mentioning Menendezs party affiliation.
Both in print and on social media, the NYT failed to inform its readers that Sen. Menendez is a Democrat.
For the first time in 36 years, a sitting United States Senator is facing a federal bribery trial, read a NYT tweet promoting the story, which was titled: Menendez Trial Set to Begin With Tensions High and Washington Watching.
The NYT wasnt without opportunities to inform its readers which party Menendez belonged to: the paper referred to Menendez 29 times in the story, without once ever 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 note that Menendez is a Democrat, adding in the identifier in the fourth paragraph.

But they put “Registered Republican” in the headline about the guy who ran his care into the Charlottesville protesters.
PS: I believe they also recently ran a long story about how crappy things are in Venezuela without mentioning “socialism.”
But, alas, "our" side would rather chase the Russia collusion and the Arpaiao pardon squirrels.
And, now, the DACA decision squirrel.
The NYT has a print version? Wow! Impressive.

I live in N.J. and have heard the name of Joe Piscopo tossed around quite a bit. I am not too familiar with him but I am told he is pretty good. Certainly better than Menendez.
DACA is Caca!! DACA es Obama’s Caca!!
