This account is not surprising in the least ... given that The New York Times and its fellow libtard media outlets are nothing but pure leftist propaganda operations ... but, it is good to highlight from time to time the libtard media's very intentional, two-faced deceitfulness in how it goes about "reporting the news."
Apparently NYT doesn’t think Shellyne Rodriguez’s machete move was nearly as newsworthy as her art show

Earlier this week, we introduced you to Hunter College Adjunct Assistant Professor Shellyne Rodriguez, who was recently captured on video making it known both vocally and physically that she did not care for Students for Life America’s display of pro-life literature and all-around pro-life philosophy.
Students for Life of America (@StudentsforLife) ~ PROFESSOR GONE WILD: Pro-abortion professor Shellyne Rodriquez curses at pro-life students and vandalizes table at Hunter College.

Adjunct Assistant Professor Shellyne Rodriguez, is a pristine poster child for the ignorant, infantile, free-speech-hating, violent troglodytes who make up a large portion of the so-called "academics" inhabiting American colleges and universities, these days. No wonder college enrollment is way down, lately ... who would want to pay to be lectured by this kind of buffoonish ignoramus, eh?
Once Rodriguez became a household name, she found herself in the position of being asked questions about her behavior and felt that she had no choice but to brandish a machete at a reporter. Poor thing. And then, as if being harassed by that reporter wasn’t enough, Rodriguez ultimately lost her job at the college. Sad! And just yesterday, she turned herself in to the police (before subsequently being released on her own recognizance by a Bronx judge).
In any event, we all know who Shellyne Rodriguez now. This definitely goes behind what some outlets might call a “local crime story.” But even if it were just a local crime story, all this went down in New York City, so you’d think that the New York Times would have covered it at some point. Alas, as independent journalist and Twitchy frequent flyer Jeryl Bier discovered, Shellyne Rodriguez doesn’t seem to be on the Times’ radar these days, which wasn’t the case just a month ago:
Jeryl Bier (@JerylBier) ~ Last month, the @NYTimes covered Shellyne Rodriguez's "terrific debut exhibition" of "forthrightly political art."
This week, Rodriguez was arrested for threatening to "chop up" a @NYPost reporter with a machete and the Times has not reported it.

Isn’t that interesting? We think it’s interesting.
Well, any follow-up ... which would be expected given the bizarre, violent behavior publicly exhibited by this previously celebrated (by The New York Times, anyway) "artist" ... is quite conspicuously missing.
Jeryl Bier (@JerylBier) ~ To be fair to the Times, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Daily News have not reported this New York story either.
But then, they didn't plug her art exhibit either.
Good point.
Jeryl Bier (@JerylBier) ~ Is it possible that Shellyne Rodriguez's "forthrightly political art," as the @NYTimes put it last month, is the reason her behavior is being largely ignored by journalists, even though she held a machete to the neck of a fellow journalist?
Well, Jeryl ... your question is somewhat flawed because The New York Times does not employ any journalists - just hacks and propagandists - but, we get your drift.
jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) ~ {Reply to @JerylBier} They wish she’d succeeded.
"Succeeded," as in successfully slicing the throat of The New York Post journalist who wanted to get her side of the story? Yeah ... probably so.
Without any coverage of this story to refer to, we’re forced to speculate on how the New York Times feels about it.
Guy Benson (@guypbenson) ~ They should do the machete story in their Arts & Leisure section.
That would’ve worked.
Alex (@Alex_Z_01) ~ It's okay though, because NBC's misinformation reporter is ... uhh, defending her?
Andrew Kugle (@AndrewJKugle) ~ If you're a "misinformation" reporter, you maybe want to inform your audience that the former professor also held a machete to the NYPost reporter's neck before trying to paint her as a victim.
Or some might accuse you of spreading misinformation.
BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Ah so, Shellyne Rodriguez "faced prolific harassment, death threats, and feared for her life" and The New York Post journalist "stalked her," eh? BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!! No, you hack ... she was the only one who was threatening violence against others. She was NOT the victim, which is why SHE was the one arrested by the NYPD, you dolt.
Figures.
Anyway, we’re fortunate to have alternatives to the MSM when it comes to acknowledging reality. It’s nice to know that there are some people and outlets out there who still care about that kind of stuff.
Barbara (@Barbara_Clemns) ~ {Replying to @JerylBier} This is precisely how information in mainstream media works. They decide what you should or shouldn't know. This way they can shape how most of the general public perceives reality and their gatekeeping rarely gets exposed. Thanks for doing just that.
