I read this as the NYT is distancing itself from all of it’s current anti-trump allies. This is the “we know nothing “ defense to save their own skins.
According to the Conservative Tree House article I read on FR yesterday, the witch hunt against Trump was/is led by 3 “small group” entities: 1) DOJ/FBI, 2) CIA/DNI and 3) State Department. Each group had/has “specific and unique media outlets” they use to spread their propaganda, and uses the “same reporters & pundits for distribution” of that propaganda.
#1 Group uses NYT & NBC
#2 GROUP uses Wash Post & ABC
#3 GROUP uses CNN & CBS
So, yesterday, out come articles questioning the legitimacy of the Barr/Durham investigations, and—guess what—they are from the NYT and NBC!
Surprise, surprise!
