For example today the elite ivy league colleges, at least Harvard, discriminate against asians while back before WWII they discriminated against Jews.
That's why it's not shocking to find out that during the WWII era the NYT did a good job burying the Holocaust. Instead of it being front page news stories about the Nazi's attempts to eradicate Jews were buried deep in the paper where few would see them.
While they did print the truth, so they could claim to be honest journalists, they did so in a way designed to minimize the impact of truths they didn't like.
The NYT continues on that tradition of spinning the news today.
A former Nazi concentration camp guard, Jakiw Palij, died recently. He'd lived in the US since 1949 and had fought deportation for the last 14 years but he ended up dying in Germany due to Donald Trump. Unlike Obama Trump prioritized deporting Palij yet the readers of the NYT didn't find that out until the very end of a long article.
"The Trump administration made his deportation a priority, announcing in August 2018 that Germany would receive Mr. Palij. The same day, officials escorted him from his home, and he was flown to Münster, in northwestern Germany."
Of course the NYT had to try and bury that bit of information because it goes against the narrative that Trump, and his followers, are literally Nazis.
