    Once again someone places a foot into the pool of reality. Another never Trumper takes a red pill. It's OK to take the red pill.

    Former NY Times editor rips Trump coverage as biased
    Jill Abramson, the veteran journalist who led the newspaper from 2011 to 2014, says the Times has a financial incentive to bash the president and that the imbalance is helping to erode its credibility.
    Trump claims he is keeping the “failing” Times in business—an obvious exaggeration—but the former editor acknowledges a “Trump bump” that saw digital subscriptions during his first six months in office jump by 600,000, to more than 2 million.

    She is right, the 'grey lady' needs to try to reassert her responsibility and sense of impartiality.

    The New York Times is a dangerous, untrustworthy, elitist joke.

    A mouthpiece for the conservative oligarchy.

    The failing NYT is failing due to their obvious dedication to preserving the Oligarchy that hates Trump because they can't control him.

    Trump is placing himself ABOVE the other Oligarchs and they are worried.

    For one.......I support Trump in his fight against them. They are the enemy. He's just a hedge against that enemy.

    I suppose they will destroy him.......but I salute him in his courageous attempt to thwart them.

    The NYT ran a story about Trump molesting, harassing, or doing whatever, to some girl, possibly two of them. The girl(s) went on Fox and said she was not quoted correctly and that the story the Times published was false and not what she said. The Times stuck by their reporters rather than the woman who was actually there and gave the interview.

    The people at the Times are scum.

    The NYT's has had like 5 or 6 editors resign due to being told what to publish which is always slanted towards the left.


    If they let the reporters do their job it would probably still be one of the best papers around, now its nothing more than a wing of the democratic party.

    Its a shame too because they have some talented people working there.

    I will admit that the NYT has become more partisan, but I imagine that it is just trying to keep up with the times where faux news is the official propaganda arm of the republican party and right-wing radio peddles the most extreme demagoguery in support of the repubs.
    As for the nonsense money talk, faux news brazenly peddles an extreme right-wing narrative just to help its own bottom line, so your faux outrage is hypocritical.

    So just by focusing in on one outlet, not even CNN I was able to goggle/DuckDuckGo some pieces.

    The WaPo also ran the story behind a paywall about Trump’s secret server with Russia.

    Another WaPo story they had to pump the breaks on about "The State Department's entire senior administrative team just resigned."

    The Washington Post doesn't account for the entire MSM. My fault let me clarify what I am asking. I am speaking of something the MSM quoted Trump on that was a lie.
