Headline at Deceptive NY Times Story Ties Trump(!) to Dems' IT Scandal
NewsBusters ^ | 30 Jul 2017 | Tom Blumer

Posted on 07/30/2017 4:27:37 PM PDT by mandaladon

The first news reports of House IT staffer Imran Awan's Monday arrest "for attempting to flee the country and charged with bank fraud" came out on Fox on Monday night. The New York Times did not file a related story until Friday afternoon, roughly 72 hours later, for Saturday's print edition.

Reporter Nicholas Fandos's Page A18 item is one of the most obvious and disgraceful attempts at misdirection and reality avoidance one will ever see, starting with its headline, which, incredibly, makes it appear as if this scandal, which the Democratic Party entirely owns, involves President Donald Trump.

Here is that headline:

NYTheadlineOnAwanArrest072817

Any reader who was previously unaware of this scandal would surely believe, based on this headline, that it's Republicans who have a problem, and that the I.T. person formerly worked for the Trump administration.

That the Times deliberately composed this headline to deceive isn't arguable. The paper knows that this story is about Democrats, and the story's URL, which reflects a headline used earlier Friday — "imran-awan-debbie-wasserman-shultz-pakistan.html" (nice touch there, misspelling the congresswoman's name) — proves that a previous genuinely informative headline was suppressed.

I wonder if this might be grounds for some sort of libel suit? (since Sarah Palin is with them in court for this sort of thing)

I follow numerous social media sites. The left is getting their butts kicked.

They are panicking. A lot of what we see from the LSM is just that - panic.

read the story and you see how worse it is...
with no skin in the game the Times’ writer is flat out denying almost everything to date based on a lawyer statement.

Lib/progs need to feel good about themselves.....swilling vodka and valium doesn’t always do the job.

The PAKI/IT/SPY story will haunt the left forever.....

B/c every decent American knows only the sap-happy lefty progs would overpay Muslim foreigners to steal US intel......makes ‘em feel s-o-o-o-o good

When this comes down in its final form just want a couple of journalists to be named in the Rico case. Some kind of conspiracy to commit treason.

How many ways can The Slimes conspire to deceive in a few lines of newsprint?

The Old Grey Slut is a master conterfeiter when it comes to journalism.
