Apparently, The New York Times is not allowed to use a flattering photo of former White House staff member Hope Hicks.
Hope Hicks, one of the best-known but least visible former members of President Trump’s White House staff, is facing an existential question: whether to comply with a congressional subpoena https://t.co/8NXpfQvxQL pic.twitter.com/L7aWVMsIdq

AOC tweeted her agreement with Soledad O’Brian’s take of the photo, who claimed The New York Times is biased toward the Trump administration.
WHAT??
This is a good example of bias in the @nytimes: a picture of a person who is considering not complying with a subpoena is basically a glam shot, and it’s framed as a thoughtful, perfectly equal choice. https://t.co/qRHT31AsMg

“Yup. Where’s the ‘no angel’ take now?” asked Ocasio-Cortez replied on her Twitter account.
“In the immediate aftermath of shootings, media routinely post menacing photos of people-of-color victims + dredge up any questionable thing they’d ever done. But when Hope Hicks considers not complying w a subpoena, it’s glamour shot time.”

She then asked the paper to treat everyone equally.
What gets me is news breaks that this woman is weighing committing a crime before Congress &it’s getting framed by the NYT as some Lifetime drama called “Hope’s Choice.”
This is a fmr admin official considering participating in a coverup led by the President.
Treat her equally. https://t.co/XcNbSuU4QB

Hmm, ok. But I seem to remember some pretty glamorous shots of AOC herself in publications.
Remember this?
Anyone mocking @PeteButtigieg for his Vogue photo who didn't mock @AOC for posing in Vogue three-hundred buck sweater and expensive makeup or in as an ad in Vanity Fair for this outrageously expensive suit and shoes, shut up. #VogueSocialism pic.twitter.com/zRPi3BQXpS
