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

Heard at the large TRUMP Rally last night:
“CNN sucks!”
Russia, Russia, Russia
Racist, Racist, Racist
Their rush to judgment calls fall short of the mark.
President Trump is still in office,
will continue his work in the Oval Office and
will not be outed due to the pipsqueaks
seen on the tube or the crayon writers who use the
wrong COLORS in their profession.
Slate published a transcript? I’m surprised they would do anything like that.
Some sort of sequel to 1984 would be interesting.
You said: “More fake news.”
No it’s more SLANDER, LYING, and “bearing FALSE WITNESS,”
The msm and so called “press”/journalists in this country are EVIL and NEFARIOUS and rival the propaganda mills of Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany,
it’s a disgrace, and they shouldn’t be allowed to continue spewing their lying, hate-filled, Anti-American, leftist LIES.
If the New York Times wants to find racism all it needs is a big mirror.
Anti-white racism—that _is_ the New York Times.
I guess it is too much to hope that a fiery pit would open up under the NYT building and swallow all the agents of the devil who work there. The newsroom staff could reflect on their misspent lives as they roasted in eternal fires.
Dean Baquet is a tool.
I recall seeing him confronted by a reporter with a mike and he just gave this smarmy answer to a rather direct question. Don’t recall the question now, but I recall my reaction.
Also saw him interviewed and the same smarminess was on grand display.
Dean Baquet is a tool and not the sharpest tool in the shed.
It will one day.
God has promised that those who will not repent and be saved will end up in said fiery pit.
Consider it done.
The Russia Collusion boondoggle did not stick to Trump.
Neither will Racis’ Memes, because too many Black folk are stepping forward to vociferously , publicly defend The President. And they are not just little guys, but big league hitters in the Black Community.
The ExEd just confirmed it. NYT has morphed into total trash. But we knew that.
It could collapse onto Port Authority and it would solve a couple of problems.
They truly cook this stuff up like an alchemist and his lab.
Good, I hope this fails like the Russia thing and sounds the death knell for phony “racism” and “sexism” because the more you examine Leftist “racism” and “sexism” you see how phony and politically equivocal it is.
May the devices on the Left backfire on them. May they themselves fall into the chasm they create for Trump and America and may they hang by the very gallows they build for Trump and America.
As Rush has noted many times, these newspaper troglodytes write to and for each other. It’s a stinky circle of Morlocks shooting rotten spitballs at themselves.
Incredible manufactured news to order.
I’m not sure you can even believe your eyes anymore.
The left wing media creates “news” instead of reporting it.
