New York Times doubling down on scandal-mongering Trump: Hires investigative reporter to focus on Trump Organization and misuse of nonprofits
American Thinker ^ | 01/04/2022 | Thomas Lifson

If there were a 12-step program for media, the New York Times and much of the rest of the legacy media would benefit from admitting that they are addicted to Donald Trump and powerless to overcome it on their own.  But instead, the Washington bureau chief of the New York Times is "thrilled" to announce that the paper has hired away a 21-year veteran reporter named David Fahrenthod from the Washington Post.  His assignment: Dredge up scandals about Donald Trump, who, you may recall, formerly served as president of the United States.

Politico's Playbook announced the staffing coup Monday morning:

BIG MOVE — Pulitzer-winning WaPo star David Fahrenthold is leaving the paper after 21 years to join the NYT as an investigative reporter in the Washington bureau, focusing on the Trump Organization and the misuse of nonprofits. Announcement

In her announcement asking Times staffers to welcome the outsider to her bureau, Elisabeth Bumiller chronicled many of Fahrenthold's stories about Trump, including such highlights as the Access Hollywood tape leaked by NBC to him.

The Times, like many other Democrat media outlets, just can't let go of Donald Trump. His presidency saw their broadcast ratings and digital subscriptions soar.  If he chooses not to run for president in 2024, they will be seriously disappointed, and desperate to find another hate object for their viewers and readers to vent against.  Of course, any Republican nominee will be compared to Hitler and vilified for behavior that would escape notice if performed by a Democrat.

Meanwhile, the Clinton Foundation, of a scale and questionability vastly surpassing anything done by Donald Trump in the nonprofit sector, remains of no concern whatsoever.

Trump is rich enough to hire investigators full time to investigate every single one of the NYT, Post etc., management for improprieties and dirt on them. Let ALL the dirt throwers be exposed.

The NYT hasn’t changed its spots in 170 years. A reporter for the NYT during the Civil War listened in on General Grant’s orders for battle and gave it to the Confederates. The NYT is treasonous and unethical.

Propagandists like the NYT and WAPO are simply whores of the left.

Memphis Tennessee has more non profit businesses on the books than for profit businesses.

The problem the NY Times has is no different than CNN, the Washington Post, MSNBC, and the rest of the Dem aligned running dog MSM. They have lost their meal ticket with Trump no longer President and their viewership has cratered. Trying to dig him up again and run scandal stories is no substitute for the 24/7 coverage pounding him when he was President. They’re stuck with covering Sleepy Joe

The problem that the dumocraps have is that they think that everyone does the same things they do. Therefore everyone must be just as crooked.

Yes, all very well and good, except for the fact that DJT has been largely censored by mass media for over a year.

Can’t wait for TruthSocial next month.

Devin Nunes resigned from Congress today to work for Trump. I assume that is what you are talking...
