The New York Times has ignored Jacob Blake's admission in a national interview earlier this month that he was in possession of a knife when he was shot and severely wounded by a police officer. While the Times' Jan. 5 story, "What We Know About the Shooting of Jacob Blake" does not call Blake unarmed during the shooting, it quoted police and state officials claiming he held a knife, not Blake himself. Bier added he had searched most prominent reporters on Twitter to see if they had mentioned Blake's admission about the knife and come up empty. National Review also noted outlets like CNN and USA Today had pushed the "unarmed" narrative.
