MSNBC Skips NYT Writer Blasting His Own Paper for Bigotry

[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC on Monday brought on New York Times op-ed writer Bret Stephens to talk about the rising threat of bigotry and anti-Semitism. Stephens made a splash on Monday when he indignantly condemned his own bosses at the paper for perpetrating bigotry with an anti-Jewish cartoon. Yet, amazingly, MSNBC didn’t mention his column at all. Instead, MSNBC Live host Kasie Hunt went back to Charlottesville and Donald Trump. Talking to guest Ashley Parker, she offered this loaded question: “How does the President view his relationship with the rising tide of white nationalism? Obviously, he has not gone as far to call himself that. But he has described himself as a nationalist.”
