NY Times Needs 8 Revisions to Fine-Tune Its Trump-Putin Meeting Spin

The New York Times posted eight revisions over a 23-hour period to its Saturday and then-Sunday story about U.S. President Donald Trump's first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In the process, the paper's headline went from an original "Russians Call Trump Meeting Putin a Win, but Doubt Concrete Gains," to a more certain "Russians Call Trump Meeting Putin a Win," to a celebratory "Russia Crows Over Putin’s Trump Meeting."

Additionally, as obsessed as the press has been with Russia and Putin supposedly influencing the 2016 presidential election and Trump's campaign and administration, one would think that the folks at the Times would recognize when Vladimir Putin is not in a photo. Nope. On Saturday, in a tweet about "body language," the Times used a photo it claimed showed Trump and Putin shaking hands. The problem is that it really showed Trump with Polish President Andrzej Duda.

In an effort to manafucture #FAKENEWS about body language, “Times used a photo it claimed showed Trump and Putin shaking hands. The problem is that it really showed Trump with Polish President Andrzej Duda.”

Time to take media credentials and free air waves away until they prove to be fair and balanced. Shut down liberal media until then.

This could explain a lot of things.

Maybe the whole Putin-Trump collusion thing is a case of mistaken identity.

Maybe candidate Trump was seen backstage congratulating Russian comedia Yakov Smirnow after one of his gigs and the New York Times mistook Smirnov for Putin.

How is it that people do not seem to remember how Obama and HIS State Department and Ambassadors totally meddled in the situation between Russia and the Ukraine , before hostilities broke out ? In fact , leading directly to the cause of the hostilities in Ukraine .

THAT should be the story

"....Niagara Falls!...slowly I turned....step by step....inch by inch...."

Now that Trump has CNN on the ropes, it looks like those idiots at the NYT are waving their arms wildly, wanting to be the next target of Trump's Twitter wrath.

After trying to nail his son and son-in-law about a Russian meeting, Trump will no doubt turn his aim at the grey lady.

We await his tweet. And wrath.
