Isn't it a bit disingenuous to ignore the fabrications of Potus's last 1,000 tweets, just to point out one non-ideal phrase used by the NYT? Are you now a White House spokesman?

Around DRC I'm the closest thing to it.

Trump has made his name on tweeting outrageous things that I imagine even he doesn't believe are 100% accurate. He uses repetition and shock value to hammer his point home. He's a showman and tweeting is just a part of the show. The NYT has built their name on quality reporting. Mistakes like this, no matter how much freudian value they may or may not contain, are supposed to be caught before public release.

Ok, that's a valid point, which is similar to my thoughts on Black Lives Matter. Criminals kill people, cops and others. Criminals are bad, they don't live up to any standards. But cops should have standards, and follow laws, so if they display racially based criminal behavior, that should be stopped.

Of course, in my analogy, Trump is the criminal, and the NYT are the cops. So if you're happy with that, that's pretty sad.

Yes it does. Like you were saying, it's easy to dismiss if it's just some kid intern. If it's the official social media manager of the Times (which seems much more likely to me) it indicative of a larger disconnect between Times staff and the people on whom they report.

You are grasping. Every journalist at the New York Times knows the names of all 50 states.

Turn away from the darkness, Koop. The people feeding you these stories NEVER correct their mistakes. Their agenda is to give millionaires tax cuts by gutting health care. They have no interest in the truth. They don't want to make America great. They don't care about conservatism. They just want cash.

I do have to ask is how is that different than any politician? The only difference between the dems and repubs is how they do it and how they sell it.

But you are 100% correct about this particular bill.

I don't understand that question. Lots of politicians aren't trying to give millionaires tax cuts by gutting health care.

Each party has a list of backers. Running for office is expensive. Each party will service that debt when elected. They each will give something to their backers. In this specific instance it is via cuts to healthcare.

Some politicians help thousandaires more than they help millionaires. All politicians are not identical.

It's this type of ignorant logic that got Trump elected. The supporters of the ACA (Obamacare) want better coverage, and to have less people die. How is this the same as the opposition?

Look the guy is likely a dick. I have not read his other comments but if he truly is posting (non joke) racist and anti Semitic shit like I read then fuck him.

The crazy part is that doxing is usually reserved for one group of trolls getting all pissy about another group of trolls. It's not a major media conglomerate against one single individual. Freaking bonkers.

I defended Trump's tweet and still will but until now CNN had a firm grasp on the high ground regarding this story. Now the story has shifted from Trump to CNN and their ethics. And they 100% did it to themselves.

HA! again!

What do you expect the guy to say when you hold his livelihood in your hands? He has every reason to cower or submit or lie and do whatever he can not to make them mad.
