NY Times publisher tells Trump anti-press attacks 'dangerous and harmful'

The publisher of the New York Times has warned Donald Trump in a White House meeting that the president's escalating attacks on the news media are "inflammatory" and "dangerous and harmful to our country."

Trump's meeting with A.G. Sulzberger, who took the reins of the prestigious newspaper on Jan. 1, took place July 20, following a request from the White House for what appeared to be a routine get-to-know-you session.

The session, which also included Times editorial page editor James Bennet, had remained secret under mutual agreement until Trump tweeted about it early Sunday.

"Had a very good and interesting meeting at the White House with A.G. Sulzberger, Publisher of the New York Times," Trump said on Twitter.

"Spent much time talking about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how that Fake News has morphed into phrase, 'Enemy of the People.' Sad!"

Sulzberger, in a statement released by the Times, said the president's tweet effectively "put the meeting on the record," and he described what appeared to be an unusually tough and blunt session with the president.

Well ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black! The NY Slimes is a leader in spreading filthy lies about our president and conservatives in general. It is fit only to line the cat litter box, but discerning felines may refuse to utilize it even there. They have less than zero room to make any complaints. I hope they bite the dust and become part of history...of being a leftist rag.

Oh darn. You mean the NYT publisher wasn’t meeting with Trump to inquire about his proven strategies for our newest GDP numbers?

Dear NYT,

YOUR LIES are "dangerous and harmful"!

Getting called out for your lies is NOT!

Physician, heal thyself!

The first time I really noticed the complicity of the media in politics was in 06 mid terms.

I had hoped people would first start noticing in 2004 when CBS colluded with the Kerry campaign to coordinate the release of the forged Texas Air National Guard documents with the Kerry campaign's "Fortunate Son" media blitz against George W. Bush.

Terry McAuliffe was the head of the DNC at the time, and he danced around this suitably enough for the MSM to be satisfied not to pursue it further.

A lockstep press that takes its marching orders from John Podesta.

That’s easy, A.G. Just stick to truth, and all will be well.

but all the hatred hurled at Trump day in and day out, calling him a Nazi, mentally ill, traitor, etc., plus hyping stories about assassination, these aren’t dangerous or harmful.

NY Times must be kidding. Must be struggling too. Dying industry.
