NYT says no libel, no retraction, no apology for Trump story
Associated Press ^ | Oct 13, 2016 8:51 PM EDT

The New York Times on Thursday rejected Donald Trump’s claim the newspaper had libeled the Republican presidential nominee, saying its story about two women who said he sexually assaulted them was “newsworthy information about a subject of deep public concern.”

In a letter, Times attorney David McCraw said Trump “has bragged about his non-consensual sexual touching of women” and that multiple women had already come forward. “Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself,” he wrote. …

All the women have been fraudulent

And most of the accounts were lifted from other articles, just the names were changed

Or even one account was a song lyric....

New York Times is disgusting

My neighbor works for the New York Times, just happens to be a Trump supporter.....

Unfortunately for the Slimes, falsehood is not an absolute defense to libel...

Dear New York Times,

There is NOTHING Mr. Donald Trump can do that would change my vote for him, so please quit embarrassing yourself.

“In a letter, Times attorney David McCraw said Trump “has bragged about his non-consensual sexual touching of women”

When did Trump do that?

In the leaked video he was talking about what women would “let” him do. This is one of those lies that the left figures at least some people will believe if it’s repeated over and over again.

One woman, Rachel Crooks that claimed she was treated inappropriately by Trump had friends and relatives posting on Facebook that when she actually encountered Trump years ago she had only good things to say about him and they did not believe the story she is telling now. They said she claimed at the time Trump said he would help her with a modeling career and she never heard any more from him so they think she is being spiteful and used by the media. She deleted her Facebook because so many that knew her were saying they did not believe her story.

Not sure if it was one of these two women or if it was another one. At times today people were saying three women are saying he was inappropriate with them.

ummm he did not say he bragged about “non-consensual” touching— that consent or non-consent is in the NYT’s imagination from what he said..

New York Times, you get to decide if you want to apologize or retract, but you don`t get to decide whether you`re guilty of lible or not. That`s for the courts to decide.

I worked there in the 1990s. I have two friends from there I still stay in touch with, both conservatives. We were scattered about there but we did have a presence.

Twenty years have gone by and no lawsuit by the Clintons against all the women who have been accusing him all that time of sexual assault. Trump invites several real victims to the last debate, then since last Sunday, Clinton’s false witnesses springup.Finally, the ‘rats are transparent.
