There’s no question the New York Times is the lead dog in the pack of fake news media outlets determined to destroy Donald Trump.
But now the Times is under fire over a massive scandal that threatens the paper’s credibility.
And all hell broke loose as soon as the New York Times admitted this awful crime.
The New York Times found itself on the hot seat with its liberal audience when the paper ran a story with the headline “Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism” after the President’s speech in the wake of the mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas.
Liberals – led by election forecaster Nate Silver – bombarded the Times with tweets ripping the paper for writing a positive headline about Trump.

Silver and other Trump-haters blame the President’s supposed “racism” for the shootings and felt the Times headline had sanitized Trump’s role.
The paper buckled and revised the headline to trash the President for refusing to confiscate firearms.
FWIW (certainly better to do this than not IMO) they changed their headline between the 1st and 2nd print edition. pic.twitter.com/DOSAMFbvq0

But this led to even more crisis surrounding the paper.
The Times claims to report the “truth” regardless of party, but their decision to change the headline proved once-and-for-all that liberal rage mobs are the true editors of the New York Times.
New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet addressed these criticisms in a town hall for Times reporters and staff.
However, the event only served to reinforce the reality that the New York Times does not report the news, but instead sees it as their job to act as narrators for the Democrat Party by telling the American people how Donald Trump is a traitor and a racist.
Baquet flat out admitted that the last two years saw the paper frame their coverage of Trump around the hoax that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election.
But even more astounding, Baquet admitted that had failed and the Times new job is to frame Donald Trump as being a racist.
Baquet stated:
- I mean, let me go back a little bit for one second to just repeat what I said in my in my short preamble about coverage. Chapter 1 of the story of Donald Trump, not only for our newsroom but, frankly, for our readers, was: Did Donald Trump have untoward relationships with the Russians, and was there obstruction of justice? That was a really hard story, by the way, let’s not forget that. We set ourselves up to cover that story. I’m going to say it. We won two Pulitzer Prizes covering that story. And I think we covered that story better than anybody else.
The day Bob Mueller walked off that witness stand, two things happened. Our readers who want Donald Trump to go away suddenly thought, “Holy shit, Bob Mueller is not going to do it.” And Donald Trump got a little emboldened politically, I think. Because, you know, for obvious reasons. And I think that the story changed. A lot of the stuff we’re talking about started to emerge like six or seven weeks ago. We’re a little tiny bit flat-footed. I mean, that’s what happens when a story looks a certain way for two years. Right?
Baquet admitted his reporters swallowed the Russian collusion hoax wholesale and abandoned all standards of professional skepticism because their readers demanded anti-Trump coverage from the paper.
Instead of reporting facts and chasing down the truth – even when reality ran up against the beliefs and desires of liberal readers – the Times still chose to push partisan fantasy and propaganda instead of news.
