And to a large degree the Times defended the conclusions.
Note also that, contrary to the youtube, How to quickly call the police was well known in that time. You simply dialed zero and asked for the police. You would be immediately connected.
The Times was then, is now, like the National Enquirer. They fabricated the Genovese narrative.

The problem is that when the media has shown such a leftwing bias and anti-Trump bias since day 1, I treat them as being a hostile force and not one to be trusted.
