Haberman (NYT) excuses Trump's attack on the press [View all]

Haberman today has perhaps her biggest roll-over to the president, excusing his use of "fake news" to attack the press.

First, note that Haberman now has a deal to write a book about Trump, and so needs access to the President. She can't afford to offend him.
Second, her mom is a PR exec who's done work for the Kushners.
And we all know the backstory - the endless stories by Haberman on HRC's emails.


Now back to today:

Trump: "Despite the fake news media..."
Haberman: "This is among the most pointed statements he's made as POTUS to tell ppl what they're seeing on TV isn't real"



Eric Garland tells it like it is.

The NYT is a pillar of American public discourse, and the paper of record. That's why it's so important they remove bias like this from access journalism.

The Times needs a serious public self-examination of their role in the 2016 election and how they spread false scandals about HRC. And the Times needs to get Haberman out, at minimum while she's writing this book.
