NY Times article about man arrested for bomb threats against Jewish sites fails to mention that he was an Alt-Left Journalist, who was intensely Anti-Trump

Juan Thompson was a journalist who had worked for "THE INTERCEPT"   >>> one of the flagship Alt-Left media organs <<<  (See Note "*" below)

Here’s what the Times did report:   “The federal authorities have charged a St. Louis man with making more than half a dozen bomb threats against Jewish community centers, schools and a Jewish history museum, an unsealed court document shows….   The man, Juan Thompson, made some of the threats in his own name and others in the name of a former girlfriend, apparently in an attempt to intimidate her, according to a federal complaint filed by the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan and unsealed on Friday….   The complaint does not indicate that Mr. Thompson is believed to be responsible for the many other threats that have been made against Jewish groups around the country….   In one threat, made on Feb. 1 against a Jewish school in Farmington Hills, Mich., the complaint said, Mr. Thompson claimed that he had placed two bombs in the school and was “eager for Jewish newton,” an apparent reference to the December 2012 school massacre in Newtown, Conn., in which a gunman killed 20 students and six school employees….”   (See  “St. Louis Man Charged With Making Bomb Threats Against Jewish Sites”  By Benjamin Weisermarch, 3/3/17,   NY Times/  NY/ Region   [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/03/nyregion/jewish-centers-bomb-threats-arrest.html?_r=0]).  

In fact, it could easily be argued that the import of this arrest was minimized by the Times  with this additional paragraph:   “….The arrest comes amid heightened tension involving more than 100 threats that have been made against Jewish groups in dozens of states since the beginning of the year, which has led to a broad federal investigation. The threats, combined with recent vandalism at Jewish cemeteries in some states, have prompted fears of an increase in anti-Semitism.”

Reports broadcast on NBC News made similar omissions  ---  calling the suspect a "copy cat."

Some later MSM stories are including the fact that the FBI-accused, Juan Thompson, is a former journalist for "The Intercept."

* "The Intercept" is a very well-staffed, well-funded Alt-Left internet magazine.  The Intercept is an online publication launched in February 2014 by First Look Media, the news organization created and funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. The editors are Betsy Reed, Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill.  "The Intercept" has a left-of-center bias in reporting and it tends to use loaded and sensational words and/or phrases.

According to Wikipedia,  "The Intercept" served "...  as a platform to report on the documents released by Edward Snowden in the short term..." and in the long term  to "...  produce aggressive, adversarial journalism across a wide range of issues."
