What exactly are you suggesting here? That the NYT made up this story? That they shouldn't report on this story because they got Trump winning the election wrong?
This seems like an interesting and informative story to me. Threads for any NYT story are going to get really tedious if they all get a "they got Trump wrong so why should I listen?" comment attached.
- akhilcacharya 10y agoThis thinking, coupled with reports from the media huddle in Trump Tower today and his statements on libel really make me afraid for the free press in this country.
- whybroke 10y ago>What exactly are you suggesting here? There is no coherent suggestion. What he and his cohort is doing is yelling 'Lugenpresse' into every discussion on the topic they can find.
- meric 10y agoEvery news everywhere is labelling fake/lying news everywhere else. Fake news/Lugenpresse same terms different language.
- whybroke 10y agoScreaming 'the whole press lies!' and falsely equating it with deliberate fabrications has been done by the far right for 80 years. Spamming what would be intelligent discussions with such nonsense is a new thing.
- meric 10y agoThis story is worth reporting and NYT is squeezing it to distract from its own failings. They should not lump all non-mainstream media under the fake news label, when even mainstream media reports fake news - Besides Clinton, Iraq weapons of mass destruction was another example.
