New York Times caves to political pressure from Democrats, changes headline on top front page story
American Thinker ^ | August 6, 2019 | Thomas Lifson

August the sixth is now a day that commemorates two nuclear weapons forcing surrender. The first, of course, was the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on this date in 1945, forcing Japan to surrender, ending World War II. The second August sixth is today, marking the moment Democrats (including presidential contenders) went nuclear, causing the New York Times to surrender editorial control of its front page to a leftist mob using Twitter in place of B-29s.

Here is the original front page, which quickly was judged insufficiently hostile to President Trump:

Definitive proof that the fake news media prints whatever the Democrats tell them to print.

The article documents how instructions from Democrats resulted in the NYT changing a headline.

The GOP really needs to stop entertaining any discussions like this. The right answer is: “You need a Constitutional Amendment to do what you guys want. Good luck with that.”

This SJW crap has gone completely out of control.
These politicians/celebrities completely understand this and are taking full advantage.
The moronic low-self esteem, self-loathing public (leftists) eat this stuff up to help give them a easy way out “purpose” in life.

It is absolutely pathetic and the democrat party should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of the throngs of complete idiots out there for a lousy vote...
the dnc should be trying to help these pathetic losers in life instead of taking advantage of them for personal power.

The media is part and parcel of the dem party. The media uses all its forces to promote socialism, communism, racial division, hate, anger, and the end of this civilization.

None other than “unbiased” Nate Silver had to chime in.

NYT IS Pravda. All the news that fits...the current opinion wave.

There is no truth in Pravda, and no news in Izvestia. NYT manages to combine the best of both worlds.

Nicely displayed. If this were a court case, it would be prudent to ask the NYT, “Why did you change the headline?”

Answer: “Because democrats wanted us too.”

[[[The media is part and parcel of the dem party.]]]

The media IS the party. It drives the agenda.

It is the left.

they can change their headline, but not The Donalds tweets...

He just nailed Barry O re shootings.

I’m sure he will deal with the Dems/Times.

There are probably more people who see his twitter posts than read the NYT and those that do aren’t going to change their mind anyway.

The N.Y. Times did not cave. The DNC and their liberal/socialist minions are the N.Y. Times editorial board.
