NYT Writes 1300 Words About Dem Senator’s Corruption Trial Without Mentioning He’s A Democrat

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.”

Fine. Then it's up to Talk Radio and whatever Conservative news outlets there are to do so.

But, alas, "our" side would rather chase the Russia collusion and the Arpaiao pardon squirrels.

And, now, the DACA decision squirrel.

Have you verified the print version has his affiliation cited?

The NYT has a print version? Wow! Impressive.

Daily Caller said:

The author of the story, Nick Corasanti, said the omission in the original story was “just an oversight on my part after drafts.” It appears the NYT was able to fix the error before Tuesday’s paper went out. By Tuesday morning, however, neither the NYT’s online nor its print coverage noted that the story had been changed to include Menendez’s political affiliation.

The DC also put this qualifier at the end of the article:

This story has been updated to include Corasanti’s statement that the omission was an “oversight,” as well as to note that the NYT fixed the error in time for Tuesday’s print edition but did not include an editor’s note.

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.
