New York Times Caught Publishing Lies About 2020 Election
Liberty's Corner ^ | August 2, 2021 | Nicholas Forte

The New York Times continues to publish fake news about President Trump’s reaction to the election fraud in the 2020 election. Margot Cleveland of The Federalist reports in her artlcle NYT Lies About Trump Again With Claim He Pushed DOJ To Declare Election ‘Corrupt’ that the New York Times took selective quotes from the notes of a DOJ official on a meeting between then-President Donald Trump and acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue to craft a false narrative of Trump attempting to pressure the DOJ to disregard the department’s own conclusion that the voter fraud claims were false and to “just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and congressional allies” to overturn the election.

The full transcript, as the New York Times very well knew when it published its fraudulent story, shows that Trump’s statement was actually in response to Mr. Donaghue saying that even if after the DOJ investigated the claim that there were more ballots cast in Pennsylvania than registered voters and found this to true, the DOJ would not be able to change the results of the election. As Ms. Cleveland explains:

“This context changes everything. Trump didn’t tell his acting attorney general and deputy AG to ignore the department’s conclusion that there was no fraud and to instead announce to Americans that the election was corrupt, leaving it to him and his “congressional allies” to overturn the results of the election. Rather, Trump wanted the DOJ to make that announcement following confirmation that more ballots were cast in Pennsylvania then there were registered voters.”

The New York Times knows all this, but instead deliberately decided to deceptively write the story to misinform its readers. It is a sad fact that the truth no longer matters for too many of today’s “journalists.” Instead, the “narrative” is king. Instead of enlightening the public, the establishment media now endeavors to keep the public in the dark. For them, the Washington Post’s motto of “Democracy dies in darkness” is not a warning , but a mission statement.

New York Times Caught Publishing Lies About 2020 Election

No shirt, Shillock. They have to fill all those pages where advertisements were supposed to appear with SOMETHING, but where does that leave their business model? They have to be operating at an overall deficit. The NYT is a non-profit organization. It didn't start out that way, it just happened.

That's because the Washington Compost coined it as a mission statement, for themselves and others. It was never intended to be a warning at all.

Just remember, the election was “fortified”.

And the people who read it and still believe it: such corrections to them are just lies and everyone knows it; the NYT never lies ...

It would be post-worthy and actual news if the Times reported the truth.

It seems the so called fact checkers aren’t fact checking the New York Times.

Even the weather forecasts in the NY Times are false.

I know.
I also don’t doubt he won.
But the election was...”fortified”.
Such an odd euphemism for fraud.

I have to admit I totally disagree with Trump calling NYT (MSM) fake news. MSM should be called the Lying Marxist News. The Lying Marxist News lie and the blacks die, by the thousands!
