As an extension of the Democratic Media Complex, it’s never a surprise when theNew York Times lies to help the Democratic Party out. This time it’s calling wealthy gay Democratic Party donor and accused serial killer Ed Buck “a small-time Democratic donor.”
Does this look like a “small time” donor to you?

Forgive the cut-and-paste wonkiness. This assumes that all Ed Buck donations from 90046 are the same Ed Buck, even though some list Los Angeles as the city and others West Hollywood, which seems a safe assumption. That’s 77 line items (including three refunds from the Sinema campaign) over two pages of donations, most of $1,000 or more. He gave maximum donations to candidates across the country (Barney Frank in Massachusetts, Pete Gallego in Texas, etc.), and where you see two $2,600 or $2,700 donations to the same candidate in the same year, like he did with California Democratic Representative Ted Lieu in 2014, it indicates he gave the maximum for both the primary and the general election.
I’m pretty sure Lieu didn’t think Buck was a “small-time donor” at the time.
According to Excel, minus the returns, that’s a total of $114,900 accused serial murderer Ed Buck doled out to Democrats. I don’t think that fits most ordinary Americans’ idea of a “small time donor.”
The phrase “small time” is aimed at covering for the Democratic Party. Now if Ed Buck had been a Republican, it would have been “mega-donor and right wing activist” https://t.co/i9Fu4jvYNi

Just before I posted this, I asked three of the four by-lined writers (Arit John, Laura M. Holson, and Mihir Zaveri; the fourth, Emily S. Rueb, does not appear to be on Twitter) why they described Buck as a “small-time donor,” and who made the decision to refer to him that way. I’ll let you know if I get a reply.
