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 lefts panic over Donald Trump, the Times has moved beyond pushing an agenda to becoming a political hack, dirty tricks and all.
Thats 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.

But he will sit down with NY Super PAC donors in private. Got caught on audio also.
Beck has principles?
Since when?
So you have heard what is on this tape, assuming it even exists? Or are you using your amazing telepathic powers? Let’s test those powers. Guess what I am thinking of you right now?
So, Laz... you believe that Trump never sat down for an off the record meeting with the NY Times?
That they made it up out of whole cloth? (what the heck is whole cloth, anyway?)
It’s pretty obvious that Trump sat down with them. As to what he told them, we have to wait for them to release the tape.
So, now does the Times have something to hold over Donald’s head?
Why doesn’t he just sue them?
Oh, good God. What ethics? That ship sailed before Lindbergh flew The Spirit of St. Louis across the Atlantic.
Literally.
They lied and deceived even on that, and made an enemy of him for many years.
The NYSlimes had ethics? Who knew?
The Trump Wall batters his enemies.
Does everyone know that the largest shareholder of the NYT is Carlos Slim, the Mexican Billionaire?
Carlos Slim is not a fan. Status quo is a billionaires best friend.

I’ll guess what you are thinking.
“Why the heck did Trump have an interview with the Times and tell them stuff he doesn’t want to world to know, and how the heck can I keep defending him if he pulls this kind of stuff?”
“That beck was quoting the NYT was really surreal this AM,”
Beck is a vapid, know nothing showman. I loathe the man. The Nazi/brownshirt references regarding Trump and his supporters was my last straw.
I have a lot of respect for the posters here on Free Republic ... some battling it out like they always do during primary season supporting Cruz or Trump. None of them are brownshirts. Trump is not a nazi or fascist.
Yet here we have someone that is tagged as a “voice of conservatism” calling a sizable chunk of the conservative base “brownshirts”. I don’t care if you support Trump or Cruz. You need to STOP supporting Glenn Beck. He is a deadbeat opportunist. Most people on this site are far better than a man like Beck ... you’re too good to listen to trash like him.
“and also the notion that cruz and rubio need to get together”
Cruz doesn’t need Rubio. Rubio needs to drop out for the good of the campaign and let Cruz and Trump slug it out. Rubio has no chance. If Beck had not destroyed his brain with alcohol, he would have suggested this.
“Well then, if there is no tape tRump should demand they release the whole thing....”
I agree. Wouldn’t trump’s supporters want to hear what he had to say?
The only reason to suppress the recording is if shows Trump is going to screw over his supporters if he is elected.
How much is Kristol and the NY Slimes paying you to post their trash?
Please do not constantly deflect to Cruz to try to defend your L&M (Lord and Master)
There are two main defenses when Trump is caught doing something bad.
One is: blame Ted Cruz
The other: Take down whatever sourced revealed the misdeeds.
If you have any other defense for me, please reveal it now.
No, nice try.
Trump should do more than demand that the Times release the tape.
If it vindicates him he should be all over this.
He should demand that they release the tape or he will sue, sue, I tell you
No, nice try? What does that even mean?
What did I say that isn’t true?
I don’t think he put any faith in them
New York Times created a tape, is it better to release a day before super Tuesday on their schedule or have them release it on Trump’s schedule?
Think about it
Even if it is a total fabrication, the day before super Tuesday would be a disaster for the Trump camp
What country are you from.
You post like the scumbag that FR recently Zotted.
Donald, a liar, could win 39% of the vote. Trumpkins are impervious to any argument against their false prophet and Trump knows this.

The New York Times might well dislike Trump.
But they did not make Trump sit down with them and proclaim that he is just telling his voters stuff to get elected and that he has no intention of doing all the things he promised.
If Trump said that to the Times, you Trump supporters should want to know.
You should demand to know.
