The New England Patriots have called out the New York Times for lying to people in multiple tweets about the NFL team meeting with President Trump.
On Thursday, New York Times tweeted out two photos. One photo showed the Patriots with President Obama at the White House in 2015. The second photo showed a picture of the Patriots with President Trump in 2017, showing fewer people standing with the President Trump than Obama.
The only reason to tweet such a comparison photo would be to ridicule President Trump. However, the New England Patriots official Twitter account responded to the photo comparison by pointing out that New York Times was actually misleading people.
New York Times then tried to justify this by tweeting that there were fewer football players with President Trump, 34 compared to 50, even though the Patriots said that the same size delegation was sent.
The Patriots fired back again, pointing out that New York Times continued to lie to people. They responded that there were 36 players present in 2015, while in 2017 there were 34 players. One of the players, Tom Brady, was unable to attend due to personal family matters. In total, only 1 player skipped out on meeting with President Trump for political reasons.
New York Times has not responded after being humiliated for being caught twice trying to deceive people.

Best watch out Bill Billicheat and his New England cheatriots will do whatever dirty deed it takes.
Has anyone notified the Fake News Police at Google and Facebook about the New York Times fabrication of truth??
FR needs an official Fake News File
Used to hate them because I’m a Colts fan.
Now the NFL is a joke thanks to politics.
I hope they win every year now and “cheat” every time while doing so.
Here’s one thing I like about Trump: Have you noticed that, for my entire life (long time now) whenever the msm lied it was a “misinterpretation”, or “typographical error”, or a “mistake”? I love that in the era of Trump, people are FINALLY calling a lie a LIE. This was one of the original pillars of PC, and it has been destroyed.
Just put it under MSM. That should cover it!
Good point.
just add the keyword: fakenews
The only problem is the trolls can label real news as fake news.
You bet. And losers will gnash their teeth and rent their clothing in frustration.
But you all can go on trying, losing, and looking for excuses instead of admitting you got beat. Very un-conservative.
Hey, you are siding with the NYT on this, too! How does that feel?
Good idea. Also we need a 'fake hate crimes' file for times the press blames Republicans for a 'hate crime' liberals have staged...
I, too, am a Colts fan.
Up until the last year I hated the Patriots with the fiery heat of a thousand blazing suns!
Now I’m down to only 500 or so.
Are you implying that FB,GG should label NYT a known source of unreliable and fake news?
I hope the Patriots win every Superbowl from here on out.
I’m a Saints fan.
Quit your whining.
Belechick caught someone else cheatingt. Man that’s freaking awesome.
No one cares who many were or were not there with Obama. He is gone. Try being grown up and deal with it NYT!
They are NOT "good people" claiming "see? I care". They aren't better, they aren't nicer or more tolerant. PC is like this giant evil spell that has locked the minds of people on a planetary scale.
I’m also a Colts and I dislike the Patriots. Intensely. I share that sentiment for all Boston teams. Even the Boston University women’s field hockey team. (Can’t stand them).
However, my passion for the NFL in general has declined greatly, and not just because the Colts can’t put an offensive line in front of Andrew Luck and are wasting his career. It’s the politicization of the entire sport, and just about all of sports in general. The damn communists on the left, with their Leninist approach that everything is political all the time, have just ruined it for me.
The New York Times has descended into a pure parody of news.
