New York Democrats lost the crime debate. They want a redo.

4. The behavior of the press in this regard has been nothing short of scandalous

You would have thought that New York was Damascus the way they covered the rather small, and frankly inconsistent, increase in crime in NY. Add in a police union that frankly acts like an extortionist racket and it was katy bar the door time. For all the talk about shoplifting for example, the total losses caused by that are still less, by a great deal, than the amount of theft of labor that goes on in those very same stores with nary a word written by the same press. Nothing short of disgusting.
