NYT Executive Editor Says Focus Has Shifted From Russia-Trump Theory to Trump’s ‘Character’
The Epoch Times ^ | 08-18-19 | ZACHARY STIEBER

Posted on 08/18/2019 8:24:07 AM PDT by McQ444

New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet said that the paper’s focus has shifted from the Russia-Trump collusion theory to Trump’s “character,” while agreeing with staffers that the paper should focus on race in its stories since “race has always played a huge part in the American story.” In a town hall with staffers following its bungled headline about Trump’s response to recent mass shootings, Baquet said the focus has gone “from being a story about whether the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia and obstruction of justice to being a more head-on story about the president’s character.” A recording of the town hall was obtained by Slate. The Times relentlessly pushed the Russia-Trump narrative, which documents, texts, and testimony indicated was started by officials in the Obama administration. Special counsel Robert Mueller punctured the theory earlier this year when his team released its report and said it couldn’t establish collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

Maybe the NYT should focus on actual news instead of leftist propaganda.

Nope.

They should make a list so they don’t have to think so hard in between anti Trump mantras.

By the election there will be rumors that he kills puppies as part of a satanic ritual.

For the Right.

From one lie to another; from one false/fake story to another.

Trump’s character as opposed to the character of a bunch of pedofile orgy island guests.

Maybe they should rethink this one.

Just wow.....pathetic. subscribers should file a law suit for misrepresentation by the Times as a paper of news, when in reality they are a political action group using disinformation as a political weapin.

The NYT is an organ of the Democrat Socialist party. All of their operations and expenses should be treated and regulated the same as Party contributions.

NYT should be examining their staff’s collective character.

Corrupt. Biased. Fake. Untrustworthy. One-sided. Left-wing propaganda machine. No news; all opinion all the time. Doing the dirty work for liberals/progressives/communists.

The “news” fabricating process at the Slimes (and all the other propaganda organs)

- First you pick a goal (destroy Trump)

- Then you decide on a “narrative”

- Then you cherry pick the “facts” to be included

- If you can’t find any actual facts to support your story, you fabricate them

- Finally you write the propaganda piece.

He said that the Times newsroom plans to focus heavily on race in the next year because he believes it’s “going to be a huge part of the American story.”

OK, let's look at it... twelve percent of the population is black... and 'the people of color' stories generally include only blacks and illegals.

So the New York Times is going to focus their stories on 12% of the American population - while calling over 60% of the population - the non-people of color - 'racists'...

It's safe to assume the New York Times will be downsizing in the future.

Nice going. That’s no different than calling everybody who supports his ideas a racist. They truly are a propaganda joke at this point
