Avenatti-Loving NYT Buries Abuse Arrest on Page A-22

Share:

The New York Times, which in July devoted nearly 6000 words to Democratic lawyer Michael Avenatti, buried domestic abuse accusations on page A-22 of the paper, Thursday. The story by Rebecca R. Ruiz and Matt Stevens describes Avenatti, who is repesenting porn star Stormy Daniels, as a “fierce advocate of women’s rights.”

Even the headline of the print edition touted what may be most important to NYT liberal journalists: “Crusading Critic of Trump Is Arrested After a Report of Domestic Violence.” The online version is a little more vanilla: “Michael Avenatti Arrested on Suspicion of Domestic Violence in Los Angeles.”

In July, Brent Bozell and Tim Graham explained how infatuated the Times seemed to be with Avenatti:

But the Times gushed all over Avenatti, over his “blatant blue eyes,” and his “steely and composed” face with the “Cubist” geometric angles. He “traffics primarily in a commodity in short supply among left-leaning voters: hope.” He has a “messianic standing among liberals.” Among his Twitter fans “canonization proceedings were under way.” One tweeted “There is a God. He sent us Avenatti.” Another wrote “You and Stormy may be the saviors of our democracy.” – READ MORE
