The New York Times referred to Jill Biden as a ‘doctor’ three times more than Ben Carson, according to the Weekly Standard.
Jill Biden, Vice President Joe Biden’s wife, has a doctorate in education. Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson was the first neurosurgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins.
The Weekly Standard writes:
Through last night, Nexis results show Ben Carson’s name has appeared in The New York Times 373 times: 356 times as Ben Carson and 17 times as Benjamin Carson. On first reference (that is, the first time he is named in the story) he has been referred to as ‘Dr. Ben Carson’ or ‘Dr. Benjamin Carson’ 32 times, plus an additional 13 times on second reference. He’s been called “Mr. Carson” on second reference 57 times,” according to analysis by the R Street Institute think tank.
By contrast, Jill Biden’s name has appeared 61 times. Seven of those times, she was referred to as ‘Dr. Jill Biden’ on first reference and another seven times on second reference. Only twice has she been called ‘Mrs. Biden’ on second reference. (The Times has never referred to her as ‘Ms. Biden,’ so it isn’t simply a matter of preferring a less patriarchal terminology.)

Can we surmise anything about the Times' attitude towards women and blacks by the number of times the NYT's calls Biden and Carson by their title? Hillary complained that with Obama winning the nomination the electorate is more pro-black than they are pro-woman. Can we say the Times considers being pro-woman more politically correct than being pro-black? I don't think it's a coincidence that there's such a large disparity in the number of times each was called doctor.
Yes, this is the Battle of the Aggrieved Minorities.
Get your popcorn.
Having spent an entire adult lifetime immersed in PhDs, I can say without equivocation that the less the doctorate is worth the more the bearer insists on the title being used.
To them, he’s a house negro.
Its not just that they call her ‘doctor’, but they say it with an enthusiastic flourish. For years I thought she was a medical doctor.
Bingo!!
Why would anyone pay any attention to what that homo infested commie rag has to say?
So, wouldn’t Obama be a (White) house Negro just the same?
To show how the homo infested commie rag is so intensely hypocritical, cynical and full of s**t.
Neither.
The reason is that Carson is somewhat conservative and Jill Biden is married to the Second Marxist in Chief.
Well yea,you got a point.
Actually, being a Liberal, she has a Doctorate in Reeducation.
She has an EdD,
I prefer to call them DEd, pronounced “dead”. In terms of intellectual rigor, I consider an EdD to be lower than an AA in electronics.
Like Germany before the war, you had more “doctors” running around than you could shake a stick at.
Although I’ve spent a lot of time at three different universities, I don’t think I’ve called anyone “doctor” except the guy checking me over at my physical.
Sorry Phds.
You know, you are exactly right. It’s all a matter of conservative versus liberal. I had thought of it but it just slipped my mind when I began posting.
By their fruits you will know them.
And neither of them knows when life begins in a baby.

The New York Times MUST be shut down as a Communist Propaganda Channel, by President Trump.
The NYT is harsher on Dr. Ben Carson than they are on Bill Cosby. That’s because he’s guilty of something far worse than being a serial rapist - Cr. Carson might interfere with Hillary’s coronation. Media bias is not an accident; it is part of their business plan.
