A New York Times staff meeting transcript shows the rot of bias at the Times is far beyond the pale and there is no hope of recovery. The Gray Lady is dead, her homicide an inside job.
Ringleader is executive editor Dean Baquet, who fires the fatal shot into the credibility of his paper.
By giving reporters and editors license to try to stop Donald Trump from becoming president Baquet helped unleash the hatred that is tearing America apart. Never before has a single media institution played such a destructive role in the nation’s life.
The meeting shows Baquet is now determined to destroy the president by painting him as a racist.
Baquet’s idea for stopping Trump: "How do we cover America, that’s become so divided by Donald Trump? How do we write about race in a thoughtful way, something we haven’t done in a large way in a long time? That is the vision for coverage for the rest of the next two years.”
This isn’t journalism. It’s political activism aligned with Democrat talking points.
The meeting was held after the headline “Trump Urges Unity vs Racism” didn’t convey a sufficient dose of Trump hatred, so Baquet had it rewritten to criticize the president’s remarks after shootings in El Paso and Dayton.
Those asking questions, supposedly straight news reporters and editors, are unrestrained in demanding their partisan opinions dictate coverage.
One sees “racism and white supremacy being the foundation of this country.” Another asks, “What is the overall strategy here for getting us through this administration?”
Not once does Baquet say reporters should not be expressing partisan opinions.
Failure of anyone to recognize the approach violates historic standards of fairness and strict separation of news from opinion speaks volumes about how low the Times has sunk.

The NYT should be burned to the ground as a domestic enemy of the People of The United States.

And never before has so little of the country cared what the NYT thinks. The media is starting to have negative influence - I’m enjoying watching them spin there wheels ever faster but nothing is gain traction. They’ve tried every trick in their book and president Trump is as popular as ever. Next comes self doubt for these losers that should be fun.

It’s time to drive a stake through the black heart of this media monster. We need to shut it down for good.
Black privilege?
Lots and lots of sugar in this one!
I know there's a rule on FR about posting photos of pretty ladies, but can we dispense with the large, ugly pictures of this Trump-hating liberal?
Ruining my breakfast this Sunday morning.
Don’t leave out the Washington Post for starters.
The gayness just screams out of this guy.
How did the transcript leak? That might be a more interesting question.
America isn’t nearly as divided as the leftists make out. What division that does exist is there virtually 100% due to their (the leftists) actions and efforts.
Well state Re the can dish it out but can’t take it. They resort to their last line of defenses racism, unpresidential etc
Never before, including Regan have we had a street fighter who gives them everyday what they deserve .
The myth of an unbiased news media is the corner stone of propaganda.
