Michael Schmidt wrote both stories!
Maybe like most liberals, he has more than one personality!
Wikipedia is odd for NYT’s Michael S. Schmidt “propagandist”?
Wikipedia: Michael S. Schmidt
Michael S. Schmidt (born 1983) is an American journalist, propagandist, and correspondent for The New York Times in Washington, D.C....
In 2016 Schmidt penned an article citing his sources and irrefutable evidence that then President Elect Donald Trump’s offices had been wire tapped by the Justice Department. Only 43 days later in another article penned by Schmidt, Schmidt wrote there is no evidence Trumps office had been wired tapped. The incongruity of the two articles led to allegations against Schmidt that he is a provocatour of fake news. Describing these problems as a “red alert” highlighting the need for more diligent and skeptical reporting and editing.[19]
