'Treat her equally,' said the congresswoman about the Hicks photo.
The New York Times received a number of complaints this weekend over a story about Hope Hicks, President Donald Trump's former Director of Communications, and her decision on whether or not to comply with a congressional subpoena. But it wasn't the story that got some folks upset — it was the photo the paper ran with the article.
"This is a good example of bias in the @nytimes: a picture of a person who is considering not complying with a subpoena is basically a glam shot, and it’s framed as a thoughtful, perfectly equal choice," tweeted journalist Soledad O'Brien early Sunday. O'Brien's original tweet was picked up and referred to by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Sunday afternoon. The first-term Democrat pointed out what she saw as media hypocrisy, referring to the tendency for some outlets to run photographs of police shooting victims that show them in an unflattering light.
"What gets me is news breaks that this woman is weighing committing a crime before Congress & it’s getting framed by the NYT as some Lifetime drama called 'Hope’s Choice.' This is a fmr admin official considering participating in a coverup led by the President. Treat her equally," wrote Ocasio-Cortez.
