Red Flags Abound For NYT Article On Mueller Report
Daily Caller ^ | 04/04/2019 | Amber Athey

The New York Times relied on anonymous, secondhand sources for a Wednesday report pushing the narrative that Attorney General William Barr is mishandling special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian collusion.


The Times’ story Wednesday alleged that members of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team believe that the report is actually much more damaging to President Donald Trump than Barr indicated in his summary of the report’s principal conclusions last weekend.


In making this claim, however, the Times seemingly did not interview anyone from Mueller’s investigatory team who is unhappy. Instead, the Times spoke to “government officials and others familiar” with the team members’ frustrations — all anonymously. None of the sources for the article are further characterized and none were directly quoted for the piece.

Didn't interview Mueller people? This just might be the NYT pushing gossip or lies.

"This just might be the NYT pushing gossip or lies."

Doesn't matter, the crowd that thinks the Times matters all walk around with one thumb in their mouth sucking their thumb like an infant and the other thumb up their butt. When the NYT blows the whistle, their target audience just swaps thumbs and keeps on sucking.

One of the stories’ authors, Michael Schmidt

That would be the guy Nicole Wallace left her hubby of 14 years for. Both infected by the Trump Derangement Virus.

I would not be surprised if some of Mueller’s hillary donors want to release stuff that could be used in dnc talking points. But the NYT didn’t even interview the Mueller team.

Anonymous second hand sources? Hey, I know a guy who knows a guy who is sure he saw Bigfoot. (no exaggeration) I also know a woman who has a friend who claims to have been abducted by aliens. (and the woman I got this from absolutely believes her friend) Of course this woman I know is literally certifiable and sadly chooses not to take her meds but...

Hey, both of these are anonymous second hand sources. I guess they have about as much credibility as the NYT. Actually I'd give either of these sources more credibility than the NYT. At least these people genuinely believe what they are saying, aren't knowingly lying.

I wouldn’t believe the NY Slimes if they said that Peter Indabutt was a homo.
