NYT writer cites GOP activist as average voter, refuses to acknowledge error

Jeremy Peters at the NYT with rightwing bias today.
He profiles “average” Trump voters and he claims they still back Trump. But problem: he interviewed a Republican activist and leader active in the party. That’s very different than an average GOP base voter.

(My pet peeve is that the NYT NEVER asks WHY their interviewed Republicans back Trump.
Why? Just answer why, NYT. It’s one of the five journalism questions after all.
In this case, the woman backs Trump because she’s a GOP party activist. In most other cases, the diner Republicans they interview back Trump because they are deeply propagandized by Fox and Limbaugh.)

Read this thread. Peters embarrasses himself. (Beutler is also an expert on these issues.)




“Don’t understand republicans.” What a joke. Peters clearly doesn’t understand the GOP coalition of billionaires and hateful white identity voters, linked by the propaganda machine.

He loves his Star Power on MSNBC. Especially when he is with Brian Williams.
