A New York Times correspondent falsely reported Thursday on Twitter that members of the House of Representatives unanimously voted to exempt themselves from the Republican health care bill.
A day earlier, reporters noticed that a provision in the American Health Care Act would exempt lawmakers and their staff from losing some of the repealed Obamacare provisions. In response to the criticism, House leadership announced they would vote separately on the issue.
The House voted 429-0 to pass a bill rectifying the mistake, preventing lawmakers from being exempted. But the New York Times‘ chief White House correspondent, Peter Baker, apparently misunderstood the vote.

“But the New York Times‘ chief White House correspondent, Peter Baker, apparently misunderstood the vote.”
Oh he understood it completely. He just decided to lie to the public about it.
Rita Cosby, reporting SCOTUS decision on Bush v. Gore, reported that Gore won.
NYT fighting with CNN for first place in the #fakenews category. Retraction on page D-12 most likely.
we see what we want to see...
journalists are supposed to check the biases that cloud judgement, now they cloud to make judgements.
Another MSM fake news winner broadly accepted and reported was the removal of the MLK bust from the Oval Office.
Any wonder DJT dispises the MSM?
No, but the putz-inhalers never told the public that the democrat congress gave itself an illegal exemption from obamacare.
The irony is that, not only is it fake news, it tries to incite anger where they had none when the ObamaCare crew did exactly what the lie implies.
The NY Slimes, Compost and other liberal fishwraps could not fill a single page with real news with their current anti Trump hysteria.
Another NY SLIMES lie.
Has the Times done big interviews with the 20 Republicans who voted against the bill? Morning Joe had the biggest gripper on ... I assume CNN will follow...
“Has the Times done big interviews with the 20 Republicans who voted against the bill? Morning Joe had the biggest gripper on ... I assume CNN will follow...”
Hopefully Faux and ABCNNBCBS will interview these 20.
Then, Trump can have ads made from those interviews and run some of those interviews ads in the 2018 elections to remove these rectums from the house!

Good idea Gramps...
One is my own Rep, Andy Biggs (AZ). His reason was that this wasn’t free market enough, didn’t go far enough. On the one hand, I can’t criticize him for his intentions. But at some point you have to look at the real world and politics as they really are and make some choices. I think he chose wrong.
Good point... that might not be the reason ‘the twenty’ will be invited on MSM shows etc.,but it’s real...and valid.
“At some point you have to look at the real world and politics as they really are and make some choices. I think he chose wrong.”
The best political hit ads come from videos of the rectums showing how bad they really are with their own words and actions on video.
