The Looney Left has blasted the NY Times over their headline yesterday of - Trump Urges Unity vs Racism. I feel there are two main reasons for their outrage.
1) They hate Trump because he is a Republican President.
2) They don't want unity. They can't survive unity. Racism plays too big a part of their politics. It is in practically every political speech any of them give in recent years. They can't afford to have that go away and leave them with just
The Green New Deal, Climate Change, Medicare For All, Higher Taxes, and Open Borders to run on.
"A New York Times headline asserting President Trump urged "Unity vs. Racism" after a pair of mass shootings over the weekend, drew criticism Tuesday from sources ranging from Democratic presidential candidates to a columnist at the newspaper.
The Times' original Tuesday front page headline, unveiled Monday night, read "TRUMP URGES UNITY VS. RACISM" in reference to his comments from the White House addressing the mass shootings."

Hmmm..... so you still think the Dems don't control the media?
The dems didn't like the message - so they yelled loud enough to have it changed.

Of course the Dems control the media. They slipped up and accidently got off message causing there brethren to scream loudly.

They actually used his words instead of words they made up.

Yeah, they can't have the truth go out to the public when Fake News does the job so much better.

This
This is the part I hate. Dems are certainly free to claim he didn't mean it.... but that would be opinion, not fact... and if its not fact, it's not 'news'. The NEWS is what he said.
President Trump is certainly not beyond stretching truths and inventing self-glorifying narratives.
But when he accuses the media of being "fake news", there is no truth-stretching involved. Today's media has more than earned that label.
And then they changed the headline apparently in later printings... so yeah, I'd say we've now got full blown confirmation that the NYT is no longer a media outlet, but a propoganda outfit.

Its not just bowing down to twitter mob. The Fake News Times employees are just sick.
"...“He’s sick. He feels terrible,” executive editor Dean Baquet reportedly said of the unidentified headline writer.
No doubt the sinner grew even sicker during the remarkable staff meeting Baquet convened Monday, which turned into a grievance and shaming session. According to the Daily Beast and Poynter, Baquet declared the headline “a f–king mess” in a bid to appease the many reporters and editors extremely upset about how such an awful thing could happen....
Moreover, the drama over a single headline is a reminder that the only political diversity at the paper is between the left and the far left. Joe Pompeo, in Vanity Fair, reports something I’ve heard, too — that young reporters and editors think Baquet is too much of a traditionalist and are chafing at even the minimal limitations on what they can write about Trump.
They apparently want to call the president and his supporters racists virtually every day, based only on their personal opinions. At the Monday meeting, Baquet promised to set ground rules for when the “R” word could be used.
It’s not hard to see those young journalists, most of them white, as slightly older versions of college snowflakes who cannot bear to hear a dissenting word and demand that the world conform to their prejudices. In their identity-driven madness, standards of fairness are relics and another form of white power.
All of which must strike Baquet as especially strange, since he is the paper’s first black editor...."

Michael Goodwin is a journalistic treasure. The key sentences from this latest take down of the NYT:
"
Facts can take you to scary places, so better to make it clear that the agenda mandates Trump hate, from first page to last. No exceptions tolerated."
"
The episode continues to reverberate a week later largely because so many of the paper’s readers and employees continue to complain. "
That the readership of the NYT (or what remains of it) insists that the paper feed them only lies is a cancer. I do not expect this illness will prove terminal. The NYT is too much of an established institution. But it will never again be the same.
Failing NYT is nothing more/ nothing less than the National Enquirer

That's not fair. The National Enquirer is good at what they do. They are actually entertaining. Who isn't curious about how the child saved their parent from an alien abduction?

Are you sure the NYT is still “failing”? I thought things had turned around since Hillary! lost the election.
