New York Times Glorifies Convicted Cop-Killer Assata Shakur

The New York Times continues its pattern of historical revisionism, and this time it brings attention to Nikole Hannah-Jones, the controversial figure behind the "1619 Project."

Hannah-Jones, a former New York Times reporter, has been celebrated by progressive circles for her outspoken rejection of objectivity in journalism.

Now, she is back in the news for her recent tribute to Assata Shakur, a convicted cop-killer and former member of the Black Panther Party.

The Times, renowned for its left-leaning bias, has facilitated Hannah-Jones's narrative that revolves around glorifying figures like Shakur while downplaying their violent histories.


Shakur has a notorious background, including the murder of New Jersey police officer Werner Foerster in 1973.

Hannah-Jones’s column glowing over Shakur's life conveniently omits the extensive criminal record that includes multiple violent felonies and a successful escape from prison, where she once again evaded justice.

In her work, Hannah-Jones has referred to journalism as activism, which may explain her reluctance to acknowledge inconvenient truths that contradict her ideologically driven narratives.

Her latest piece paints Shakur as a victim, portraying her as an “escaped slave” rather than acknowledging the profound impact her actions had on the lives of her victims and their families.

The lack of balance in the coverage is emblematic of a media landscape often quick to celebrate figures who align with its preferred narratives while sidelining the voices of those who have suffered because of them.

Worse yet, the Times's editorial decisions reveal its unwillingness to allow dissenting views, as evidenced by its history of dismissing conservative voices while elevating those who push a radically left agenda.

As mainstream media continues to rewrite and reinterpret history, it is crucial for readers to critically evaluate the presented narratives, seeking the truth beyond the sensationalism and political motivations.

In the current political climate, with Donald Trump serving as the 47th President and pushing for educational reforms, the contrast is stark between conservative views that advocate for accountability and truth versus the progressive narrative that seeks to reshape America’s history to fit a particular ideology.

Conservatives will continue to challenge these narratives and promote a more accurate portrayal of history that honors victims rather than vilifying their sacrifices.
