The New York Times on Monday denounced intimidation tactics by President Donald Trump against its reporters after days in which the administration assailed the newspapers reporting on Elon Musk and the Defense Department.
The newspaper said in a post on X the platform owned by Musk that Trumps approach has never caused us to back down from our mission of holding powerful people to account, regardless of which party is in office. Peter Baker, Maggie Haberman and their colleagues have an unrivaled record of covering this and prior administrations fully and fairly, the Times said.
It was responding to Trumps Sunday night Truth Social post that specifically criticized the Times Haberman, whose name was misspelled by the president as Hagerman, and Baker, along with Bakers wife, New Yorker writer Susan Glasser. Theres something really wrong with these people, and their SICK, DERANGED EDITORS, Trump wrote. They did everything in their power to help rig the Election against me. How did that work out???
Trump has been known to publicly attack news organizations or specific journalists; not all of them choose to respond and engage.

Yeah, you'd think trump would show the NYT a little gratitude, considering all the help the paper gave him in this latest campaign.

From people of this new generation who are supposed to know better, no less.
