And just how dang DUMB is it to lie about something that can be so easily disproven?? Yeah gad, forget about ethics, that ship has sailed. But don’t these idjits have even a couple of neurons left to fire up?

Wow, I hadn’t seen that Clinton pic. But they didn’t just add that one guy a bunch of times. They added a bunch of folks a bunch of times! ROTF!

If the New York Times didn’t issue a retraction they’d have a much greater chance of being sued successfully. That’s what the research shows... I’ll bet money their first Amendment Lawyer has already set them down and explained that...

Well, good for the NYT on issuing the correction....

No credit due. they deliberately lie, knowing that people will believe the first story - - and the retraction will hardly get noticed- it's a ploy

When Trump was giving his speech last night the cameramen (in an unusual act) panned the crowd. Then I noticed what they were up to - they had found two or three spots with empty seats.

Since Trump had mentioned people had been turned away at the door - it’s easy to assume this ‘Trump’s not THAT popular’ stunt is a new coordinated meme. It would be easy to do - forty democrats get in line - come in together then leave when the speech starts. Cameramen are told to check the venue for empty seats and broadcast the empty seats.

Fits right in the New York Times lie.

In the past the cameramen would swing those stationary cameras around only when some ‘protester’ was being tossed out - but that was working FOR Trump... this one’s more subliminal.

I’m not sure the crowd side

But at 6:50 police security stopped myself and my middle son from entering the outer block of security at Deadrick street telling us decision had been made to shut down any more attendees

The cop even said she wanted to go in too but couldn’t ....a black lady cop

There was a line of maybe 30 folks behind us

It holds 7-9000 depending arrangement

I think they block off the rear for something like this so maybe 6500 folks tops it out

NYT doesn’t want to lose stats credibility given the resources it commits to the elections... which I guess is the primary reason it opted to issue the correction. Virtue is not a factor with these clowns.

NYT’S and CNN should invest their time being journalists and reporters rather than ‘political activists’ for the lying left...
