A loose network of conservative operatives allied with the White House is pursuing what they say will be an aggressive operation to discredit news organizations deemed hostile to President Trump by publicizing damaging information about journalists.
It is the latest step in a long-running effort by Mr. Trump and his allies to undercut the influence of legitimate news reporting. Four people familiar with the operation described how it works, asserting that it has compiled dossiers of potentially embarrassing social media posts and other public statements by hundreds of people who work at some of the country’s most prominent news organizations.
The group has already released information about journalists at CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Times — three outlets that have aggressively investigated Mr. Trump — in response to reporting or commentary that the White House’s allies consider unfair to Mr. Trump and his team or harmful to his re-election prospects.
Operatives have closely examined more than a decade’s worth of public posts and statements by journalists, the people familiar with the operation said. Only a fraction of what the network claims to have uncovered has been made public, the people said, with more to be disclosed as the 2020 election heats up. The research is said to extend to members of journalists’ families who are active in politics, as well as liberal activists and other political opponents of the president.

Fight fire with fire
Gotta love the how-dare-they-hit-back tone of this piece. For decades, liberal activists in the mainstream media have gotten away with posing as objective journalists. Finally, there’s a team in the White House that hits back.
The liberals do not like being Alinsky’d
The bought-off, Corporate Fake News media are the Enemy of the people.
These left wingers publish lies and think they are above the consequences.
Fry their asses and expose them in public.
They are not journalists, they are liars.
"But the material publicized so far, while in some cases stripped of context or presented in misleading ways, has proved authentic, and much of it has been professionally harmful to its targets."
The dirt last week on the anti-semite running their foreign desk must have hit 'em where it hurts.
Journalists Target Trump With Coverage Deemed Hostile to White House
The ‘hostile media’ atttacks it’s attackers LOL!
This is great.
They are trying to be victims.
Please apply the sharpest of knives to these SOBs.
Need more popcorn.
Chiina sends enough fenatanyl to Mexiso to kill 82% of the world and the NYTimes doesn’t care... LOL!
These news scum lie as a normal course of action. They ruin thousands and thousands of lives each year. They deserve whatever happens to them. Cowards all.
Curious how this story comes out days after one of the NYT writers is exposed for openly anti-Semitic tweets. Hey, love it. If the media is going to try to hang people based on their old tweets than what the reporters have posted ought to be fair game too.
This is War, and it’s about damn time.
Do these NYTimes jerks know they are genuinely headed for hangings? That pretending to be journalists doesn’t give you a pass for treason?
In Breaking News, NYT “journalists” Kenneth P. Vogel and Jeremy W. Peters are caught on-camera eating dog feces...
Makin’ a List
& Checkin’ it twice!!
“For years, no one has questioned the predatory homosexual pedophile tendencies of Times-ers Kenneth and Jeremy...”
I just love a good, old-fashioned street fight......it is long overdue.
