New York Times article on Bob Menendez corruption charges omits Democratic affiliation due to 'oversight'
by Eddie Scarry | Sep 5, 2017, 9:43 AM

A New York Times reporter said it was an "oversight" on his part after critics on social media noted that his story about corruption charges facing Sen. Bob Menendez neglected to mention the lawmaker's Democratic Party affiliation.

The story, headlined "Menendez Trial Set to Begin With Tensions High and Washington Watching," published Monday night and initially did not include that Menendez is a Democrat.

"The New York Times wrote a 1,288 word article that never once informs the reader that the Senator facing a bribery trial is a Democrat," one person on Twitter observed.

The story was written by Times political reporter Nick Corasaniti.

Maybe the NYT actually meant that the editorial personnel at the NYT exercised "oversight"--i.e., deleted (or ruled out in advance, as a matter of NYT policy) any of the news article's references to Menendez's Democratic Party affiliation.

Now that would make a lot more sense, wouldn't it?

I'm thinking that is the case!
