One of Italy's top journalists has harsh words for NY Times 'ideological' coverage of a stabbing spree

Last Thursday a 25-year-old criminal with a long history of arrests named Vincent Pinkney went on a stabbing spree in Manhattan. His first victim was an Italian Ph.D. student at Columbia University:

The student, Davide Giri, was traveling home from soccer practice just before 11 p.m. when he was stabbed in the abdomen about two blocks from his apartment building, the police and friends said. He was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead…

Mr. Giri, a Ph.D. candidate in computer science who was expected to graduate in May, had begun working as a research assistant at Columbia around 2016, after studying at schools in Italy and Chicago, according to his personal website.

Giri reportedly called for help before he collapsed and died. After stabbing Davide Giri, Pinkney stabbed another man who happened to be an Italian tourist. The Times only devoted this one article to this story and the only description of Pinkney consists of his name and age.

It was posted here when it happened I believe.

The perp is a known gang member with a rap sheet roughly as long as the Amazon River.

“The New York Times has chosen a reticence that borders on self-censorship, consistent with the editorial line of recent years. The canons of American journalism have been twisted, particularly during the Donald Trump years when it became a boast in progressive media newsrooms to practice “resistance journalism.” The search for balance or impartiality was considered a weakness: the end justifies the means…

“The pain for the absurd death of Giri would not be compensated by a different focus of the press, but this event offers a disturbing look at the “new journalism”, militant and conditioned by its ideological agenda.”

Black gang? Latino gang? Russian gang, Irish Gang?

Who hates Italians?

Did the perp know he was Italian?

Italian gang (mafia)?

The perp is black, of course. And the gang is the Insane Something Or Others.

Amazing that an Italian reporter, in a country that overall is more left than ours, is calling out one of our most famous “news”papers as being a source of propaganda.

Ask yourselves: how different is this really than the sort of “news” coverage that German newspapers provided after kristallnacht? Favored racial and ethnic groups get a pass whilst unfavored racial and ethnic groups are supposed to just take it.

Not to be hyperbolic, but we’ve all seen this movie before.

The first student he stabbed to death. A witness said he howled with glee after he killed him. No remorse, sickening, & very anger inducing.

Well, if Columbia didn’t work out so well, perhaps Mr. Pinkney has a stellar future awaiting him at Georgetown University:

“At an event titled “Georgetown F*cking Lied,” the Georgetown University Student Association’s (GUSA) GU272 advocacy team demanded Georgetown pay reparations to descendants of enslaved people sold by the university.” https://thehoya.com/georgetown-fcking-lied-gusa-descendants-demand-gu272-action/

"Alleged Columbia killer Vincent Pinkney was allied with an upstart gang called EBK, short for Everybody Killa, according to sources…"

"EBK “represents a gang policy of open warfare,” the San Joaquin, Calif. District Attorney’s office wrote in a 2019 statement announcing an investigation into the group’s activities."

Recently out of jail at age 25, after serving 4 years.

From the article of the Italian reporter who wrote a brilliant piece about NYT and its decent into irrelevance.

Brilliant.

As long as it is white people, especially poor and middle class whites, that are being killed by their pet blacks, nobody in the “journalist” circle cares.

But let an angry white person beat the daylights out of one of their media liars or who resists being raped, robbed, or murdered by their pet blacks, then they become gung ho for law enforcement.

“Resistance journalism”. They do flatter themselves, don’t they? If the NYT actually published the truth about black on white crime in that city liberal heads would explode.
