Crime Show Promo? DNC Trump Attack Ad? Nope: New York Times Commercial
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/13/2019 5:34:42 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Listen to the two-beat sound at the very end of the clip. Reminiscent of the famous "doink-doink" from NBC's" Law & Order," no?

Viewers would be forgiven for thinking that the ad airing on CNN's New Day this morning was indeed a promo for a TV crime show. Or a new version of All The President's Men. Or might it have been an anti-Trump attack ad from the DNC?

It's not until the New York Times logo appears at the very end that it's seen to be a commercial for the newspaper, making the explicit commercial pitch ["the truth is worth it"] for an investigative attack on President Trump's finances.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

“All the News That’s Fit to Print” has been reduced to peddling itself as a cheap crime-show knock-off.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Is the FEC treating this as a campaign ad?

Nope, almost certainly it is a thinly-disguised anti-Trump ad.

Don’t forget, the main campaign organization for the Dems is the NYT’s and the media.

Didn’t hear the “doink doink” but wow:

Those graphics go waaaaaay beyond The Grassy Knoll guys, in terms of conspiracy theory hype.

But for the brief “NYT” notation at the verrrrry end, I would instead have thought that was a newer, sexier redo of The X-Files or something having to do with JFK or Nixon.

“Listen to the two-beat sound at the very end of the clip.”

Sounds no where near the two-beat sound used on Law & Order.

The tone was different, but I don’t think it was a coincidence that in a commercial that looked like a crime-show promo they used a two-beat sound at the end.

No doubt. Their sole purpose was to demean President Trump.

Oh I see. This MUST be what our saviors in the FBI want to protect us from - conspiracy theories, the new domestic terrorist threat.

They don’t believe in truth, only the liberal ideas of “truth.”:

1. Truth is whatever serves the Party.
2. If you repeat something often enough, it becomes true.
3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.
