Chacon noted that many of the murders have an “unclear motive” because motive is not strongly looked at in many murder cases. “One of the things that troubles me with the ADL/COE reports is that they simply compile statistics and then make assumptions based on those statistics,” retired FBI special agent and expert in criminal & counter-terrorism investigations Robert Chacon told TheDCNF. “And the 10 victims in Buffalo this past weekend are now part of this toll,” writes in The Morning newsletter. comes from right-wing extremists, data shows.

The newsletter heavily cites multiple ADL reports of right wing extremist violence and murder over the past decade, including white supremacist violence and anti-government activist violence. “The American political right has a violence problem that has no equivalent on the left,” the newsletter reads, coming in the wake of the Buffalo mass shooting. However, the ADL used many cases to build its reports where the motivation for the murders listed is not necessarily ideological, with 212 of 443 murders by extremists in the past decade were classified as “non-ideological,” according to the ADL. The NYT’s newsletter cited Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reports to back up its assertions while not providing context on how the reports were composed. in a Tuesday newsletter, but failed to note that the majority of cited incidents were not politically motivated.

She’s gone from churning out relentless, granular web scoops about the inner workings of places like AOL and Yahoo, where she was the company scourge for a good stretch of time, to making news via freewheeling, no-holds-barred interviews with big shots, both onstage and on her podcasts. Sources tell us she’s leaving the gig and, true to her M.O., “wants to be more entrepreneurial.” She’ll be staying with Vox Media to pursue a new project, someone with knowledge of the plans told me.Īfter cofounding the influential websites and conference businesses AllThingsD and Recode, Swisher became something of a one-woman business in her own-right, spreading her wings-and her market value-as a singular, independent brand. Alas, it appears that Swisher’s run with the Times is coming to an end. She’d been splitting her time with Vox Media’s New York magazine, where she cohosts another buzzy podcast called Pivot with Scott Galloway. It’s been four years since the fearsome, prodigiously sourced tech journalist and all-around media star Kara Swisher has been contributing to The New York Times, both with writings for the Opinion section, the hit podcast Sway, and, most recently, a weekly newsletter.
