In 2018, the New York Times added Sarah Jeong to its editorial board after she made statements like "cops are a**holes," "f**k the police," and "I sure would fight the cops, with my guns, I wonder why black people haven't thought of doing that." When the Times' hired Jeong, the paper's "conservative" columnist, Bret Stephens, excused her actions by writing, "Let he who is without a bad tweet cast the first stone." In contrast, Stephens wrote that Trump is "wholly, undeniably and unforgivably responsible" for the "sacking of the Capitol" on January 6, 2021, even though Trump explicitly told the protestors to "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." On at least 45 other occasions over the past decade, the New York Times has published falsehoods that spur violent unrest and civic dysfunction.
