Miranda Devine: The far-left media showed just whose side they’re on during coverage of the NYC ISIS-inspired bomb attack

The sinister media soft-soaping of Saturday’s ISIS bomb attack on the Upper East Side shows exactly whose side these corrupted news organizations are on — and it’s not yours.

They are so far in the tank for the revolutionary left that they aren’t even capable of hiding it with their usual cunning.

In the hometown of 9/11 heroes, the Times framed Saturday’s attack in a way deliberately designed to mislead the reader into thinking the offenders were anti-Islamic protesters and that Mayor Mamdani was their intended victim.

The Times’ updated headline upgraded the threat but still obscured the culprits —........
