NYT Correspondent Claps Back at Gingrich’s Claim No One Cares About Chicago Violece

This is a play in three acts.

I:

Over 3000 shootings in Chicago this year,almost 1 every 2 hours but media & left pay no attention to this. Live now https://t.co/idnyeT87Uq

— Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) September 22, 2016

II:

We’re gonna make sure your @nytimes subscription is current, Mr. Speaker. https://t.co/zeugtfL0o6https://t.co/VxhS4nSoun

III:

In spite of what widespread criticism of the media during this election season might lead some to believe, reporters and journalists are still doing their jobs. New York Times correspondent Jonathan Martin wanted to make sure Newt Gingrich knew that when the former presidential hopeful called out the media for not paying attention to violence in Chicago.

Martin linked Gingrich to this very in-depth piece and promised to check on the older man’s NYT subscription for him.

Also, for the record, Bill O’Reilly talks about the violence in Chicago all the time. Our own LawNewz even features stories about it.
