If all the “journalists” at the New York times were to perish in flames tomorrow, the country would be better for it.

[RAldrich]

Methinks the Times doth protest too much.

HOW DARE YOU BE OUTRAGED FOR SOMEONE TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DISGRACEFUL PAPER.

JUST HOW DARE YOU, YOU LITTLE WORM.

TRY, FOR A CHANGE, TO BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING REGAIN SOME INTEGRITY.

Actually, don’t bother, your once great newspaper is dying.

[Carriage Hill]

Truth hurts, Sulzberger scumbag? Tough sh*t, punk.

[LadyShires]

Ooooo. It’s double-secret probation time!

[BobL]

The New York Times, going back nearly 100 years that I’m familiar with them, certainly has ENOUGH HISTORY to prove Trump right.

They just can’t deal with being called out on it.

In early 1960 Alsop wrote a story for the New York Times hinting at US knowledge of secret Soviet missile developments. This story came in the midst of an election-year debate over whether the Eisenhower administration’s fiscally-conservative defense policies had allowed a “missile gap” to open by letting Soviet technology outpace US progress. President Eisenhower knew from U-2 surveillance that in fact the US remained well ahead of the Soviets and there was no missile gap, but he could not publicly reveal this without compromising the top-secret U-2 program. Alsop was friends with the CIA agent in charge of the U-2 program, Richard Bissell, and the information in Alsop’s story on Soviet missile developments was based on information generated by U-2 surveillance. Eisenhower could not refute Alsop’s intimation of a missile gap without exposing the U-2 program in the process. The resulting “missile gap” stigma played a significant role in swinging the 1960 election to John Kennedy.

Eisenhower was normally noted for his calm temperament and slowness to anger, and it took a great deal to make him lose his temper. But when he saw Alsop’s article, he reportedly “exploded”. As Eisenhower biographer Stephen Ambrose records, one of Eisenhower’s associates noted that “the President is extremely angry and has talked at length about the lack of loyalty to the U.S. of these people. In his estimation Joseph Alsop is about the lowest form of animal life on earth. . .” On another occasion Eisenhower called the Times “the most untrustworthy paper in the United States”.: Traitors of Record: The Record of the New York Times

Just STFU you treasonous bastards.

True dat. 👍

[A_perfect_lady]

I wouldn’t care if PDJT had them all rounded up and shot.

[TigersEye]

Not really. If your report were true it would be treason.

And I would sincerely like to see someone hang for it. If your report were true.

[Beowulf9]

yeppers. Thought the same.

“He’s gone from misrepresenting our business, to assaulting our integrity, to demonizing our journalists with a phrase that’s been used by generations of demagogues,” Sulzberger wrote

You are the enemy of the people sulzberger. Do you now you realize what that means? Treason is a hefty crime.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

If you can’t do the time, NYT, don’t do the crime.

[Lisbon1940]

What about Stewart Alsop?

When you are caught lying numerous times, you are no longer a free press. You are anarchist.

[P-Marlowe]

If it was a true story, then publishing it was treason. If it was a false story, then publishing it was treason.
