Mamdani Will Skip Columbus Day Parade. Some Italian Americans Are Glad.

What the coverage shows

The two outlets frame the story differently. The New York Times leads with Trump casting himself as Columbus’s protector in a pitch to Italian Americans, and its extract focuses on Trump bringing the explorer into current politics. Reason instead treats Columbus Day itself as the subject, with an opinionated extract about the holiday bringing out “the worst excesses of identity politics,” and it is the only outlet here to foreground that critique.
