For decades, the editorial page of The New York Times has served as the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. But in a sign of the left’s panic over Donald Trump, the Times has moved beyond pushing an agenda to becoming a political hack, dirty tricks and all.
That’s the only reasonable conclusion to draw from the fishy aftermath of a Trump meeting with the edit board. The meeting happened in early January, but only on the eve of Super Tuesday did word spread about something the leading Republican candidate supposedly said in an off-the-record segment.
Buzzfeed suggested that an audiotape reveals Trump “secretly” walking back some of his most forceful immigration positions. The online news outlet reported that the recording has “reached near-mythical status at the Times” and that “some” people there believe the contents “could deal a serious blow” to Trump if they were made public.

I didn’t realize they still had any ethics left to abandon.
The dirty leak achieved some of its aim. Trump’s main rivals, Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, pounced on the Buzzfeed report and demanded that Trump release the tape. Cruz told a Texas crowd, “If you’re sitting in Manhattan telling The New York Times that you’re lying to the voters, the voters have a right to know.”
NYT? Ethics? ROTFLMAO!
“Trump has not accepted Rosenthal’s invitation, so we don’t know what the tape contains, though it’s not likely to be anything as dramatic as the Times hopes. If history is any judge, Trump’s voters won’t be swayed by nuances or even policy contradictions.”
“Still, Trump ought to have his head examined for going off-the-record with an editorial board that has repeatedly savaged him, and especially for allowing that portion to be recorded. The Times edit board regards conservative white voters as ignorant racists, so Trump had to know he was in enemy territory.”
Kind of disconcerting to see someone discuss the NY Times and ethics in the same article.
When it comes to pushing the liberal agenda on America there is no limit to how low the Times will go.
Glenn Beck abandoned his principles this morning by touting the NYT.
It’s becoming funny.
To assume that the NYT has abandoned their ethics for anything presupposes they had ethics to begin with. Game-set-match.
I take it Cruz supports New York values in this case?
Flip Flop Cruz strikes again
the “consistent” “conservative”
hahahahaha, now that was a funny headline!
The Old Grey Whore had ethics, who knew?
Hahahahaha. NYT’s lofty ethics? Who possibly believes this?
Dirty tricks from the right media, left media, GOPe, POTUS, even the Pope. The dollar value of the stop trump/KKK onslaught of the last several days has to be worth a billion dollars. And he still has the people and he’s winning those like Goodwin over. Magnificent bastard !
Off the record is meaningless.
A smart man would have known that going in.
Not Donnie, However. Oh no, he thinks he can expose others private dealings/communications with him but don’t you dare do the same to him.
Hey Donnie, here’s something I been hearing a lot out of your mouth....LIAR!
What ethics ?
Ethics? Who knew?
One must first have ethics in order to abandon them.
No tape exists, it was all for show
And Trump isn’t playing the game, he is the Front Runner, why should he have to bow down to Cruz and his New York Times buddies?
I guess those New York values have a place in the Cruz campaign after all
*** UH, WHAT ETHICS ?? ***
