The Guardian:
"Federal law enforcement officials have all the tools necessary to address far-right violence proactively ...They have simply chosen as a matter of policy not to prioritize these cases. ...
There are currently 52 federal terrorism laws available to address entirely domestic acts of political violence. Congress has also passed five federal hate crimes statutes specifically designed to punish the types of violence white supremacists and other far-right militants often commit against vulnerable communities. ...
More troubling, recent reporting that revealed the active participation of police officers in white supremacist groups and racist social media activity by a small but significant number of police officers and border patrol officials makes clear that overt and organized racism continues to fester within agencies sworn to protect the public safety as well."
-->US law enforcement part of the white supremacy problem? The NYT thinks such stories are simply unfit to print. Our newspaper of record would rather have white supremacists on the street than to call into question our security state.

"Kamala Harris, Who Just Clarified Her Rejection of Real Medicare for All, to Snub Climate Forum in Favor of Big Donors. [She now says she will attend the Climate Forum]
In the space of 24 hours, Sen. Kamala Harris, a California Democrat running for the party's 2020 presidential nomination, made clear that when forced to choose between the interests of the donor class or progressives, she'd choose the former.
On Sunday night, as Bloomberg reported, Harris attended a big money fundraiser in the Hamptons, telling the superrich attendees 'I believe in capitalism' and that she wasn't 'comfortable' with a comprehensive Medicare for All plan.' "
-->Kamala is the favorite of the NYT, simply because the newspaper also supports the big money fundraisers in the Hamptons. Don't expect anything from the NYT but negative stories about Sanders or Warren.

Common Dreams:
"Sanders Says If Israel Wants to Ban Members of Congress, It Should Not Receive Billions in US Military Aid. 'The idea that a member of the United States Congress cannot visit a nation which, by the way, we support to the tune of billions and billions of dollars is clearly an outrage.' ...
'One thing that is completely undeniable about Bernie Sanders is the enormous political courage he consistently wields on behalf of others,' tweeted Ocasio-Cortez. 'He's not just standing up for two members—he's standing for the integrity of the entire U.S. Congress.' ...
[Sanders also wrote] 'anti-Semitism is not some abstract idea to me. It is very personal. It destroyed a good part of my family. I absolutely reject Trump's disgusting efforts to exploit fear of anti-Semitism to attack my colleagues.' "
-->Bernie has integrity, the one thing lacking in the political reporting of the NYT. It didn't cover this story.
