President Trump fired his most recent shots at The New York Times on Friday, targeting both the newspaper’s executive editor and its publisher.
“I laugh at them all,” the president wrote in one of two Twitter posts critical of the paper. “The @nytimes is a total mess!”
Exactly what prompted the president’s messages wasn’t immediately clear but Trump again referred to the newspaper as “the Failing New York Times,” a description he has used often when talking about the paper’s coverage of his presidency.

lol
One see that the collages have taken billons in payments.
Has to make none wonder how many billons have the old media has taken from our enemies.
Walter Duranty is not pleased.
Trumo:
“The @nytimes is a total mess!”
NEW YORK TIMES EDITS BIDEN SEXUAL ASSAULT COVERAGE, DELETES REFERENCES TO PAST INAPPROPRIATE ‘HUGS, KISSES AN TOUCHING’
During an appearance on CNN, Times writer Donald McNeil described Vice President Mike Pence as a “sycophant” of Trump.
A Times spokesperson later issued a statement to Fox News.
“In an interview with Christiane Amanpour today [May 12], Donald McNeil, Jr. went too far in expressing his personal views,” the statement said. “His editors have discussed the issue with him to reiterate that his job is to report the facts and not to offer his own opinions.”
After repeated criticism from Trump, Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger last September accused the president of “trying to delegitimize real news, dismissing factual and fair reporting as politically motivated fabrications.”
Back in December, Trump accused the Times of supporting Bloomberg News’ decision to not investigate the campaign of then-presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg, the news outlet’s owner, or the campaigns of his rivals – but still investigate Trump’s campaign.
“The Failing New York Times thinks that is O.K., because their hatred & bias is so great they can’t even see straight. It’s not O.K.!” the president wrote.
Trump responded to the Bloomberg News policy by banning the organization from covering his rallies and campaign events.
In that instance, Baquet of the Times defended Bloomberg News.
“Bloomberg News is one of the largest and most influential news organizations in the world,” Baquet said in a statement at the time. “We condemn any action that keeps quality news media from reporting fairly and accurately on the presidency and the leadership of the country.”
wish ABC Australia was failing, but their 5,000 or so staff are all considered “essential” and the corporation gets over a billion Aussie dollars a year to spew out non-stop garbage.
the US Ambassador to Australia should ask the Australian Govt how come ABC devotes so much of its time trying to destroy the President of Australia’s closest and most important ally, the US?
stuff like the article below are being churned out daily for years now - online, and on their many radio and tv stations. even the pics tell a story.
note it says “it’s not worth discussing at length” and mentions that many of its audience may not have even heard of “Obamagate” before now.
that’s because ABC has never explained any of the facts about Russiagate or any other plot against President Trump and his Administration. their audience would not know the names of more than a handful of the coup conspirators:
23 May: ABC Australia: Donald Trump’s cries about ‘Obamagate’ are a ploy to distract the media from the coronavirus
By North America correspondent James Glenday
In the past week, a rebadged conspiracy theory has been breathlessly promoted by the US President and conservative media pundits: OBAMAGATE!
It’s not worth discussing at length...
Trump is a master of misinformation...
Arguably even this piece is part of the problem — how many of you had heard of “Obamagate” before now?
The whole purpose of “flooding the zone” is to distract and muddy the waters to obscure inconvenient facts.
New York University professor Jay Rosen and Vox journalist Sean Illing have written about this phenomenon at length, arguing the media has failed to adapt to Trump’s tactics...
Over the next few months, Trump’s tactics will be increasingly dark...
Several Republican and many Democratic strategists now believe that if this year’s election becomes a referendum on Trump’s record, he will lose (LINKS TO WaPo ARTICLE).
So far, the White House and the President’s campaign have responded by increasing the amount of detritus in “the zone”...
As voting day approaches, the metaphorical “flood” is only likely to grow as team Trump tries to bounce back and keep this presidency afloat.

“Walter Duranty is not pleased.””
au contraire monsieur,
Walter Duranty would be pleased beyond his most orgasmic dreams what the NewYorkTimes LeftistMarxistCommunist agitprop is now.
just when I thought ABC Australia couldn’t go lower, I came across this little video, featuring their “renowned” broadcaster (in ABC’s eyes) Dr. Norman Swan, mocking Donald Trump re hydroxy. “theirABC is a play on the corporation’s slogan “yourABC”:

On this the 23rd day of May 2020 there have been -
5,306,158 cases

Heartbreaking statistics from this horrendous virus.

Swan moved to Australia, where he started work with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1982...
Swan has won three Walkley Awards, a Media Peace Award from the United Nations Association of Australia, and the highest honour in Australian science journalism, the Michael Daley Award...
should have said James Glenday was right when he wrote:
“It’s not worth discussing at length”
because he doesn’t go into Obamagate AT ALL.
can’t do it, because ABC audience wouldn’t have a clue what he was talking about, they are so misinformed.
To spell it out fot you, Duranty would not be pleased with Trump’s comments.
Thanks for the info on that.
