Nick Kristof and the New York Times' Ties to Child Sex Trafficking

Nick Kristof and the New York Times' Ties to Child Sex Trafficking: By op-ed columnist Nick Kristof's own standards, he and the New York Times are earning money, indirectly, from child sex trafficking.

Late last month, Kristof targeted Goldman Sachs with farcical allegations of supporting child sex trafficking via its minority stake in Village Voice Media, which owns Backpage.com. He repeated those allegations yesterday on CNBC (which called its story "Goldman's Ties to Sex Trafficking"--video below).

Kristof’s real target may have been GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney, whose wife Ann owns a blind trust that had invested in Village Voice Media through a Goldman Sachs fund.

Ironically, Kristof’s own newspaper profits from the sort of advertising for escort services, strip clubs, and other forms of adult entertainment that Kristof has linked to the underworld of child sex trafficking.
