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.

Trump’s character as opposed to the character of a bunch of pedophile orgy island guests. Maybe they should rethink this one.

If you want to understand how corrupt the New York Times is - ask yourself how they would cover the Epstein story IF Trump had flown on the pedophiles plane over 20 times AND all of Epsteins fellow child rapists were Republicans.

Eff the New York Times - it's a PRNewswire - it's NOT a real newspaper. How the mighty have fallen.

Well, Trump is a character, so they’ve got that going for them.

Baquet is accidentally letting slip with his TWO YEAR - not 14mo, when Trump goes down in flames - plan that the NYT has conceded the 2020 election.

This is so funny in that it shows how far the Times is out of touch with America.

So the Times actually believes that ‘character’ matters in relation to the President? After Bill Clinton and Barack Obama? Seriously?

Without Obama, Trump would never had been President. Obama proved the Presidency is way bigger that one, stupid, self-absorbed individual. The country survived 8 years of that idiot so I figured Trump couldn’t possibly be worse. That was then when I was luke-warm on Trump.... Now I’m all-in!

I guess that makes me a racist, but do the minorities really want a race war?

You want to talk about Trump's character in light of so many Democrats and liberal leftists who have clearly demonstrated lives of immorality, law-breaking, corruption and murder which have never been called to account? People like Huey P. Long, Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Blagojevich, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Robert Deniro, Kathy Gifford, Blasey-Ford, Ginsburg, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and AOC, just to name a few? Tell us about the character of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin and their supporters.

Remind us of those who pushed for the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. Bring to memory those who voted for abortion in the Roe v. Wade decision. Herald names like Rapinoe, Kaepernick and a host of others who have disrespected our flag. Don't let us forget the invective of Hillary calling people "Deplorables" and whover that was who said whites need to be eradicated. Yes, remind us now about something about Trump's character you don't like, be sure and tell us.

Dean Baquet said that the paper’s focus has shifted from facts to BS because it’s easier to write about.

I look at your words and it almost can’t sink in.

That they are questioning his capabilities and qualities when men RAPED Girls. A LOT. And over a VERY LONG time period.

AND they killed someone and didn’t care that we knew or wanted to let us know what they can do.

You post was a lot smaller but packed a very powerful punch.

Just insane.

If the NYT ever stumbled across an actual fact, would they recognize and report it? This isn’t sarcasm; they are so politicized that every word they choose is selected for political effect. News involving reporting facts is not on their radar.

Funny how they never focused on Clinton’s (lack of) character. Remember back then it was all, ‘it’s a private matter, nobody else’s business’, etc. etc.

He was a womanizer, Locker room talk interview. It didn’t stick.

He had crooked real estate training schools. It didn’t stick.

He refused to turn over his tax returns and he must be hiding criminal or immoral activities. It didn’t stick.

He was not fit to be President. It didn’t stick.

He was against Muslims. It didn’t stick.

He paid off a porn star, Stormy Daniels to keep quite and it was a violation of campaign finance laws. It didn’t stick.

He colluded with Russia. It didn’t stick.

He was against Immigrants and inhuman by separating mothers from children. It didn’t stick.

He was racist. It won’t stick.

The list of ways they are trying to get rid of Trump is endless. It will not work.

When you ask someone in the impeach Trump movement why? They look at you and say because he is so bad. So you ask what crime did he commit that is impeachable? The answer is either nonsense or he must be impeached because of who he is.
