Trump blasts NYT for changing headline under pressure from ‘Radical Left Democrats’
Fox News ^ | August 07 2019 | Ronn Blitzer | Fox News

President Trump took The New York Times to task Wednesday for changing the headline of its lead article about his remarks on the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton after taking heat from the left for not being critical enough toward him.

After Trump delivered an address in the aftermath of the deadly shootings, in which he condemned racism and white supremacy, the newspaper planned a front-page story with the headline, “Trump urges unity vs. racism.” Amid a storm of criticism on social media, including from top Democratic presidential candidates, the newspaper later altered it to the more critical: “Assailing hate but not guns.”

“'Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism,' was the correct description in the first headline by the Failing New York Times, but it was quickly changed to, 'Assailing Hate But Not Guns,' after the Radical Left Democrats went absolutely CRAZY!” Trump tweeted.

The NY Slimes has been doing this vile bs for over a hundred years. Now, they have President Trump pointing out how they tried to change history/reality. This time, they got caught.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” George Orwell, 1984

“Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished?”

1984 by George Orwell
Home Literature 1984 Characters Winston Smith

“Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it’s in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, and every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. History has stopped.

Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don’t know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories.

Just in that one instance, in my whole life, I did possess actual concrete evidence after the event – years after it.” (2.5.14, Winston to Julia)

Imagine the re-election rout Trump would have if the media wasn’t the mouthpiece of the Leftist Party Dems? It’s beyond ridiculous, It’s approaching a point where I would agree to shutting down some media operations, they are literally shouting fire in a crowded theater with their lies and vitriol.

Racial unity is the LAST thing the democrat Party wants.

The left prefers racism over unity.

Good. Let them have it. It will have no effect, but it feels good. Those people are not right in the head.

He didn’t assail guns, so the revised headline is truthful. The problem is the emphasis that’s given.
