The New York Times' puff piece on a neo-Nazi is one more piece in the dangerous pattern of normalizing hatred and bigotry.

The New York Times came under fire this weekend for publishing a profile of Tony Hovater, a white nationalist to whom the paper un-ironically referred as “the Nazi sympathizer next door.”

The backlash to the puff piece was so sharp that the Times followed up with a response piece attempting to explain why it published an article about a Nazi eating turkey sandwiches at Panera.

But as Shareblue Senior Writer Eric Boehlert pointed out Sunday morning on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” the profile of Hovater is not an anomaly that slipped through the editorial process.

Rather, it’s just the latest example to emerge from what is now a cottage industry of sympathetic profiles that started by normalizing Trump, then Trump voters, and now, members of hate groups.

“For the last 12 months, the D.C. press, led by The New York Times, has been obsessed with humanizing, celebrating, normalizing Trump voters,” Boehlert said. “They’ve gotten so far to the right now they’re trying to normalize Nazis.”...............................................
