Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the New York Times, said recently that, after the Mueller report, the paper has to shift the focus of its coverage from the Trump-Russia affair to the president's alleged racism.
"We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well," Baquet said. "Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story."
Baquet made the remarks at an employee town hall Monday. A recording was leaked to Slate, which published a transcript Thursday.
The day Bob Mueller walked off that witness stand, two things happened," Baquet continued. "Our readers who want Donald Trump to go away suddenly thought, 'Holy shit, Bob Mueller is not going to do it.' And Donald Trump got a little emboldened politically, I think. Because, you know, for obvious reasons. And I think that the story changed. A lot of the stuff we're talking about started to emerge like six or seven weeks ago. We're a little tiny bit flat-footed

Touché! Nice to a read a little mini-drama on FR. Well done, KarlInOhio.
This shift to racism wont work any better than the Russia crap. People are working, earning a living, proud, and feeling good about themselves. People of color and white people, male and female. Its amazing what self worth adds to peoples lives. The more the left pushes to the radical socialist agenda the more people see the few for what they are. IMO
We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well,” Baquet said.
You know? If that truly was their goal, they did do it well!
Always remember. The OG communists always said that the liberals were the most useful people on earth, and utterly dispensable after use.
The media is going to try to bait and switch until they can find something that is anti Prez and will hook the sheeple. Our “news” is no more relevant than Inside Edition or Extra. Garbage

Wow, if those aren't marching orders from New York Times management, then I can't read English!
Reporters! Grab your notepads! Quick! Answer those "hot tip" phone calls from the FBI. And you, female-identifying anchors and reporters, reward those male-identifying Deep State sources appropriately!

When I steal, I steal from the greats like Orwell. I was thinking of modifying it to fit the current case, but why spoil it.
They already tried pinning racism on Trump after Charlottesville two years ago. It didn’t work then, and it won’t work now. They’re running out of ideas.
‘Racist’ is a fake word invented by Lev Davidovich Bronstein...
huh??
OK, great. It’s fit so perfectly. Makes me want to pick 1984 and read it...
Remarkable how they pivot off of 3 straight years of pounding the biggest hoax in the country’s history as if nothing happened. Zero reflection, not one beat skipped. It’s just on to the next thing.
Baquet, you’re a scum bag.
President Trump signed a prison reform bill, which reduces the sentences of mostly black criminals. Even Barack Hussein Obama didn’t do THAT.
Black business start ups are at their highest level ever under Trump.
The black unemployment rate is the lowest EVER.
Yeah, he’s a racist.
Nah, democrats are the mindless cows of the modern age. A temperament resembling pathological hysteria is how they prefer to comport themselves in the day to day pissing and moaning their lives must be.
Outright lies to bald faced outright lies. Liars all.

After racism, what will be schtick C?
In a normal world, this would be a crime.
