What Socialism? NYT Avoids Blaming S-Word for Venezuela Crisis
Friday’s New York Times covered the start of the second term of Venezuelan autocrat Nicholas Maduro, but managed to avoid unflattering descriptions like that, in “With Venezuela in Free Fall, Its President Starts New Term."

Business

NYT's Weisman, Blind to Left Anti-Semitism, Hits Trump, 'Bully' Israel
New York Times deputy Washington editor Jonathan Weisman made the Sunday Review with the dramatically titled “American Jews and Israeli Jews Break Up.” Weisman is author of the book (((Semitism))) Being Jewish in America in the Age of Trump, which blames Trump and the alt-right for a rise in U.S. anti-Semitism.

New York Times reporter Tiffany May piled on in “…
Really, NYT? Desperate Paper Links ‘Trump County’ to Child Cancer
The New York Times Thursday ran a long investigative piece by climate reporter Hiroko Tabuchi, “E.P.A.
