Less than 48 hours after the jogger was assaulted, the front page of the @NYTimes Metro section had a huge headline that said:
"YOUTHS RAPE AND BEAT CENTRAL PARK JOGGER."
They reported it as absolute fact.
They detailed the arrest of the 5.
Then boldly stated that they did itpic.twitter.com/a1ihbrHlkn
Has the @NYTimes ever apologized for this?
In article after article they refer to these 5 boys, first and foremost, as fully and completely guilty.
But they also use dehumanizing, animalistic language, over and over again.pic.twitter.com/E2feV3pAd9
I know we're holding the police and prosecutors accountable for what they did to these five exonerated boys, but THE ENTIRE CITY piled up on them.
Every media outlet (except for @NYAmNews) pronounced them guilty, broke protocols and leaked their names, and so much more.
Has the City of New York every apologized to the Five Exonerated men formerly known as the Central Park Five? They should. A settlement is not an apology. So many complicit parties caused their pain.
All day long, my daughter sent me article after article she found from April of 1989 from the @NYTimes & @NYPost & @NYDailyNews where each paper was absolutely brutal in their depiction and premature conviction of five boys who did not do what each paper said they did.
This article from the Times was particularly telling. It’s from 1990 glorifying Linda Fairstein:https://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/25/magazine/linda-fairstein-vs-rape.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FFairstein%2C%20Linda&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=42&pgtype=collection …
I'm sure @realDonaldTrump's ad money had a lot to do with that.
Not even an "allegedly."
Can't read the article. Do you have a better pic?
Here's an electronic version.https://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/21/nyregion/youths-rape-and-beat-central-park-jogger.html …
