By now, you know that 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was stabbed to death by 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, a schizophrenic black man who'd been arrested and released 14 times previously but was still walking the streets. We mention that Brown is black, because that seems to be important to the New York Times, which says the gruesome murder, which took place on August 22, but only made headlines after security video made the rounds on social media.
And when the Times did report it, they really outdid themselves:
… the brutal killing did not capture widespread attention until the security footage was released on Friday, at which point it became an accelerant for conservative arguments about crime, race and the perceived failings of big-city justice systems and mainstream news outlets in the Trump era.
Look at this paragraph.
Seriously, New York Times? They did the Norm Macdonald meme.
Think about the backlash against the black community, referencing an incident from 1898.
Why wouldn't this murder ignite a firestorm on the Left, New York Times?
Name and shame. It took three "journalists" to put this together: Eduardo Medina, Richard Fausset, and Emily Cochrane. Your guess as to which one added that paragraph.
Once again, in a report on a black man murdering a white woman on a train for no reason whatsoever: "In North Carolina, newspapers in the Jim Crow era often egregiously exaggerated stories about Black criminality."
That's where the minds of the "journalists" who put this piece together went when they found out a black man had murdered a white woman. Conservatives pounce! Even the URL of the article gives it away:

Why aren't liberals outraged that this man was walking free?
