Fact-finding is no science but a carefully orchestrated political strategy by newspapers and organizations seeking to discredit opponents and advance political agendas. In that context, the New York Times has the unmitigated gall fact-checking 73-year-old President Donald Trump when they’ve published more fake stories tying Trump to Russian collusion than any other newspaper. Using the power of their dwindling daily circulation, New York Times gets Internet access through news portals like Yahoo that carries the same liberal, anti-Trump stories, something Harvard University confirmed May 19, 2017 that over 90% of news on Trump was negative. Where the New York Times or Washington Post think they have fact-checking credibility is anyone’s guess. One thing’s for sure, no newspaper in the country published more fake news about Trump’s alleged Russian ties than the New York Times.
When Trump applauded yesterday’s employment report showing a slight dip in the nation’s unemployment report from 1.47% to 13.3%, the New York Times was quick to point out that Trump’s done little or nothing for the African American community. When Trump dropped unemployment to 3.5%,, black unemployment dropped to its lowest level in recorded history. “George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that is happening in our country,” Trump said, prompting a strong rebuke from the New York Times. Times reporters said quickly that George Floyd, who was strangled by a white Minneapolis cop May 25, wasn’t focused on the unemployment rate. Trump wasn’t referring to the change in unemployment rate, he was suggesting Floyd would be proud that his death caused a national dialogue on race, police misconduct and criminal justice reform.
But no, the New York Times, that fact-checks Trump, wanted to stir more outrage about Trump suggesting he was touting the improvement in unemployment rate. “Nobody has ever done for the black community what President Trump done,” referring to the historic 3.5% unemployment rates, dropping black unemployment to historic lows. But the Times had to point out how little Trump has done for African Americans. “This may well be the president’s most audacious claim ever,” said Michael K. Fauntroy, political scientist at Howard University, a traditional black college. Times reporters know whom to consult, anyone that has nothing good to say about Trump. Time’s reporters didn’t ask someone at a conservative university like Stanford’s Hoover Institution or Washington’s Heritage Foundation, no they consulted for fact-checking a professor at anti-Trump black college.
Fact-checking Trump by the New York Times deliberately obscures the Democrat agenda pushed by the paper to help former Vice President and Democrat nominee Joe Biden win the November 4 presidential election. For three-and-a-half-years, the Times published story after study tying Trump to Russia, writing un-sourced stories about Trump ties to Russian to win the 2016 election. When Atty. Gen. Bill Barr finishes his investigation into the origin of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation against Trump, he’ll find the Times doing its job to promote the fake narrative that Trump interfered with the 2016 election. Nowhere on New York Times front pages do you find honest journalism exposing the FBI conspiracy that used former Secretary of State Hillary Rodahm’s Clinton’s “dirty dossier,” paid for by her campaign and the Democratic National Committee to discredit Trump.
No, the fact-checking New York Times doesn’t fact-check itself, preferring to use its reporters to submit fake news stories. Even when Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded in his Final Report March 23, 2019 that there was no Russian collusion, the Times switched gears under direction of the anti-Trump House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees. Not only will Barr find criminal behavior by former Obama administration officials, he’ll find egregious complicity by the New York Times, Washington Post and CNN. Time’s handpicked experts all have antipathy for Trump but they cite them as fact-checkers. “He has one or two nice policy accomplishments where his signature is on the legislation,” said Bernard Tillary Jr., African American studies professor at Northwestern University. Tillary has nothing good to say about Trump because, like the Times, he’s politically biased.
Times editors are having a field day discrediting Trump’s economic accomplishments, now that the Covid-19 crisis shut down the economy, causing catastrophic damage to U.S. employment. Times’ anti-Trump fact checkers like to advance Biden’s new talking points that Trump messed up the U.S. economy. All the economy needs to recover is someone with such strong economic credentials as Biden. Times’ editors claim that Trump has incompetently managed the Covid-19 crisis, insisting that his Jan. 31 ban on Chinese travel helped to save lives in the United States. No, if asked by the Times, they agree with China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Linjian who said March 14 that the U.S.—maybe Trump himself—planted the deadly coronavirus AKA SARS CoV-2 virus in Wuhan China. For partisans like New York Times’ fact-checkers they preach to the anti-Trump choir.
