The New York Times accuses conservatives of provoking violence by recklessly and openly … speaking at universities.

Seriously:

The commentator and writer Ann Coulter canceled an appearance scheduled for today at the University of California, Berkeley. “It’s a sad day for free speech,” she said. But conservatives are eagerly putting themselves into volatile situations on campuses, inspired by a backlash against political correctness.

Very well. Let’s imagine how today’s New York Times might have covered past events in which people eager to address various matters might have “put themselves into volatile situations”. Turn the clock back to 1955:

The commuter and civil rights activist Rosa Parks canceled a bus ride scheduled for today in Montgomery, Alabama. “It’s a sad day for public transport,” she said. But black Americans are eagerly putting themselves into volatile situations on buses and trains, inspired by a backlash against segregation.

Iowahawk’s view is precisely correct:

Also, the New York Times has lately abandoned use of the phrase "female genital mutilation":

(New York Times Health and Science editor Celia) Dugger wrote that she stopped using the term “female genital mutilation” in the newspaper’s stories because it is “culturally loaded.”

Instead, the New York Times will in future refer to “genital cutting”. John Kass responds:

The Times opted for an Orwellian phrase, "genital cutting," not to spare the Victorian sensibilities of its readers, but because it is politically palatable to the left. But the United Nations uses "female genital mutilation." The World Health Organization uses "female genital mutilation." It is not merely a cut. You can cut your fingernail. This is mutilation for a cultural purpose, to rob women of sexual joy and render them as breeders. All of this - the application of a politically correct filter by The New York Times, the avoidance of the issue by the left, even the destruction of female sexuality by ancient cultures - is political. And who suffers? Political wits and activists don't suffer. Girls suffer.
