NYT Critic Compares Slavery to Current Police Controversies
New York Times book critic Michiko Kakutani is notorious about letting her personal liberal politics infect her aesthetic judgment.

NYT Hypes Far-Left Dutch Party Wanting to Stifle Free Speech
In a classic move by The New York Times, the leftist paper gave prime positioning on A3 of Saturday’s print edition to a piece boasting of the far-left Denk Party in the Netherlands that’s promised to create a museum about Dutch slavery and completely root out “xenophobia and racism” in the country to the point of banning anyone with racist rhetoric (in their eyes) from public office.
