The New York Times style guide must make for interesting reading. Surely, there’s an admonishment somewhere near the top: Insert into any article, no matter how unrelated to the president-elect, a slam on Donald Trump. And if you can dress it up as a “fact check,” all the better.

Consider the latest effort from Emily Badger, of the Times‘ Upshot blog. Badger’s piece, published Thursday, argues—convincingly and intuitively—that falling crime rates over the past thirty years have played a big part in luring the young and wealthy back into cities from outer-ring suburbs. Yet she can’t resist taking a shot at the president-elect: “Another end-of-year fact-check, while we’re at it: Mr. Trump claimed during the campaign that the homicide rate in his new home in Washington rose by 50 percent. In fact, it fell by 17 percent in 2016,” she wrote.”
