Yesterday, there was a terror attack in the London subway in which a bomb placed in a white plastic bucket filled with nails exploded. Fortunately, only the detonator blew up; the main explosive failed to ignite. Nevertheless, about two dozen people were injured.
What do you think is the big news of the day regarding the London terror attack? Here are four potential stories.
1. British police have arrested an 18 year old male in Dover as he was attempting to leave the country. He remains unidentified, but police believe him to be the bomber.
2. The UK government raised the threat level to indicate that another terror attack is "imminent".
3. Across Europe there were three other terror attacks yesterday.
4. President Trump tweeted "Another attack in London by a loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. We must be proactive."
So I ask again, which of these four stories do you think was featured prominently on page one of today's New York Times? That's right, it was choice number 4, the tweet by the President. The article discussed how the British prime minister, when first asked about the tweet, said that it was "unhelpful". The focus at the Times is not on the terror attack, but rather on the tweet.
Somehow, I think that the people at the Times cannot get past their hatred for the President so that they can cover the actual news.
