According to a new report, two major news outlets buried reports from a recent study that claimed participants were more likely to agree with slightly modified statements from Adolf Hitler and that diversity, equity, and inclusion ( DEI ) education “increased hostility.”
The New York Times and Bloomberg both informed the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI ) that they would not publish reports about the institute’s most recent study, which was titled” Instructing Animosity: How DEI Pedagogy Produces the Hostile Attribution Bias.” study-finds/”>According to the NCRI research, those who received DEI schooling were more likely to encounter “perceptions of prejudiced hostility where none existed, and disciplinary responses to the imaginary prejudice.”
850 participants in the NCRI review split into two groups. A party received DEI training substance produced by Equality Labs, a left-wing organization that promotes civic rights knowledge, while one group received a politically neutral writing about India’s caste system.
According to the study, participants who read the DEI material and later read modified statements from Hitler that substituted the word” Jew” with the word” Brahmin”, which stands for the upper class of India’s caste system, were more likely to agree that members of the upper class system were”‘ parasites ‘ ( + 35.4 % ),’ viruses ‘ ( + 33.8 % ), and ‘ the devil personified’ ( + 27.1 % )”.
The NCRI noted that the La educational substance appeared to “engender a angry attribution bias and promote authoritarian policing, support for punishing behaviors in the absence of proof for a transgression deserving of punishment.”

While The New York Times and Bloomberg” jumped on the account enthusiastically,” according to a scholar from NCRI, both news outlets ‘ reports “inexplicably pulled at the highest newspaper levels.”
Regarding the published history by The New York Times, a NCRI scientist told National Review,” The item was reported and ready for publication, but at the eleventh afternoon, the , New York Times , insisted the study undergo peer assessment after discussions with editorial team — an unprecedented demand for our work”.
A New York Times spokesman claimed in a statement to The Daily Caller that journalists at the outlet frequently choose to ignore particular news stories” for a variety of reasons” after reviewing them. The spokesperson continued,” Speculative claims from outside parties about The Times ‘ editorial process are just that. It’s not accurate to say that The Times had written a piece on this subject that was “ready for publication.”
Nabila Ahmed, who leads the Global Equality team at Bloomberg News, later informed the publication that the story would not be published because of an “editorial decision,” according to a report from the National Review.
