NY Times, Washington Post Russia Conspiracy Stories Drop At Strategic Times

TEL AVIV — The New York Times seems to be gloating that its reportage on Donald Trump Jr. and his brief meeting with a Russian lawyer is purportedly negatively impacting the “good feeling” inside the Trump administration following the U.S. president’s diplomatic trip to Europe for the Group of 20 summit last week. The story marks the latest example of a leak or major news media claim about Trump and Russia dropping at strategic times while Trump was departing for or returning from a significant diplomatic venture.

The last section of the Times’ story on Trump Jr. and the lawyer, titled, “Trump Jr. Was Told in Email of Russian Effort to Aid Campaign,” seems to be gleeful about the manner in which the issue has overshadowed Trump’s G20 trip. It reads:

News of the meeting involving the younger Mr. Trump, Mr. Kushner and Mr. Manafort blunted whatever good feeling the president’s team had after his trip to Europe for the Group of 20 economic summit meeting.

The president learned from his aides about the 2016 meeting at the end of the trip, according to a White House official. But some people in the White House had known for several days that it had occurred, because Mr. Kushner had revised his foreign contact disclosure document to include it.

The president was frustrated by the news of the meeting, according to a person close to him — less over the fact that it had happened, and more because it was yet another story about Russia that had swamped the news cycle.

Look, they are propaganda outlets for deep state globalists.

Stop treating them as news organizations and disregard them the way one disregards Old Wives’ Tales.

George Webb predicted the stories would be dropping on Tuesday (today) a few days ago.

This was done shortly after Trump’s great Congressional speech

It was also done after his highly successful trip to the Middle East

It is beyond clear the cheerleading and Dim asskissing of the #FakeNews crybabies

Look at it this: the establishment hates Trump and wants to see him gone.

All means foul and fair, in their minds, are justified to accomplish it.

Trump will never ever win them over.

The difference is that The Jr. didn't realize he was being set up and had the meeting. By the by, he saw that it was a nothing-chilada and ended the meeting.

The Fake News Media still hasn't figured out IT was also set up and they continue to chase the squirrel.

This is the standard operating procedure for these propaganda outlets.

Remember, they started going after Jeff Sessions in the days right after Trump's great address to Congress on February 28th.

If Trump, Jr. had anything to hide, he would have transferred all of the e-mails to a server in his bedroom closet instead of releasing them for public inspection.

Yeah, I keep hoping that the Admin and AG are lining up a checkmate. May be unrealistic - seems so at this point - but I’m an optimist. I just want truth and justice to win out for the good of he nation.

It is beyond cheer leading

***********

Its propaganda and subversion all designed to undermine a president who they deeply resent because he differs from them ideologically and he soundly defeated the liberals they support and promote. They will stop at nothing in their fanatical pursuit to undermine him.

Straight news reporting is done on a day-by-day basis. It is not strained through a requirement of proper timing for political effectiveness.

Thus these actions reflect MSM BIAS (shocking) and should be regarded as being akin to push polls and the like!

I have been trolling liberals and told them that anonymous sources have reported the “dirt” on Hillary was information about the Podesta, Weiner child molestation ring. (Don’t laugh it gets them to shut up)

“the NYT and CNN should simply be shunned.
lock them out of the any press briefings. shut them from any contacts”.

And Trump continues to let them into his House. Why? Tell them to get lost, don’t talk to them, don’t interview with them...NOTHING.
But the Maddening part is, he keeps dealing with them.

It would have been better if the story dropped just before the trip? There is really not a great time for this.

All Trump Jr. has to do is delete 99% of emails and say they talked about their vacations and showed photos,It worked for the Clinton’s and the media took the bait.
