The New York Times interrupted its domestic “fake news” “reporting” efforts to use faked statistics to commit fake media analysis of a real news story in Germany last week.
“Refugee’s Arrest Turns a Crime into National News (and a Debate) in Germany,” the headline reads. The crime is the rape and murder of a 19-year old medical student by an Afghan refugee. The Times takes advantage of the raped-and-murdered woman’s body to make two false, intertwined claims: first, that the German public’s interest in the crime is motivated solely by racism (rather than concerns about women’s safety); and second, that statistics showing the young male refugees flooding Germany are not actually responsible for creating an atmosphere of sexual danger for German women.
