The New York Times has sunk so low they are now relying on people that were told by people about the mater...four of them no less.

Journalism is dead. There are no journalism standards any more. As the guy in the Project Veritas video was caught say, "journalism ethics and standards, how cute."

For the record, New York Times sources, four people told of the matter.... If there is not a single reporter at the NYT hanging their head in shame over this one, the paper is totally lost.

He should fire anyone who won’t swear an oath of loyalty to him. Appoint Sean Hannity as his Chief of Staff.

I predicted that the closer we got to exposing FBI corruption with the FISA Memo, the more of these fake news story you would see. I’ve been correct so far.

They got tired of being criticized for using a source that heard it from a source that told it to them that they have upped their standards to require four such people.

Well, at least the Slimes is developing some different ways to refer to their unnamed and most likely non-existent sources.

Why is this even a thing? Even if true, he ultimately decided not to fire Mueller. The decision making process can involve many things. I think the NYT should focus on ultimate decisions, not the process.

What rabblerousing stooges.
