NY Times blasted over 'puff piece' on convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes: 'Nice to be a pretty white lady'

[NYPOST] The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
was pilloried online over the weekend in response to its profile of convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, who is about to begin serving an 11-year plus prison sentence for orchestrating a scheme that defrauded investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Times journalist and writer-at-large Amy Chozick authored a 5,200-word feature on Holmes, who now reportedly prefers to be called "Liz," enjoys antioxidant smoothies, is a doting mother to her two young children, likes ordering in Mexican food, shuns R-rated movies, and has been volunteering at a rape crisis hotline for the past year.

"I was admittedly swept up in Liz as an authentic and sympathetic person," Chozick wrote in the piece. "She’s gentle and charismatic, in a quiet way."

Chozick added: "If you are in her presence, it is impossible not to believe her, not to be taken with her and be taken in by her."

The story also included choreographed photos in which images of Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, pose with their two infant children against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.

The backlash online was fierce.

"Maybe this article would have been served more by a discussion of sociopaths," tweeted political commentator Matthew Dowd.

"Nice to be a pretty white lady working your charm on a nyt news hound," tweeted former CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
host Soledad O’Brien, who lashed out at Chozick as "consistently crappy."

#1 Surprise, surprise that this scumbag get yet another delay on reporting to federal prison in late April.

That the Slimes wrote this filth just shows how connected this scumbag Holmes is. The Slimes doesn't just write puff pieces on any old felon.

This is why I highly doubt Scam Bankrupt-Fraud (SBF) will never see a court room let alone a prison cell. And don't be surprised to see an article about him from the Slimes within the next few months.

#3 ABC (Australia) did a decent report on this scumbag Holmes a few years ago. One of scumbag's professors at Stanford pegged this sociopath straight away.

Best go take a look in the mirror, journalist lady.
