Summary

Anti-Trump Smear BACKFIRES On New York Times, Left AND Right Slam Newspaper. Reporters for the elite newspaper are outraged after discovering that conservatives are digging up old tweets and social media posts from New York Times reporters and embarrassing them.In response to this completely normal media reporting, the Times ran an anti-trump smear claiming that it was a loose network of Trump allies trying to discredit the press. Apparently they are completely oblivious to what journalism is. The NYT is not above scrutiny and they are subject to the same exposure as anyone else. However they are trying to frame it as a political hit against them for being intrepid and ethical journalists. WrongThis time the far left, left, center, and right have come out slamming the paper over their elitism. They seem to have a belief that they are better than the rest of us. Well, they aren'tRecently the NYT was exposed for being biased against Trump in a leaked transcript of a private meeting where they seem to decide on targeting the president with a left wing smear. Now in the wake of a damaging past they are trying to paint their critics as Trump supporters.But in the end its just more fake news from the Times and everyone can see it. While the NYTimes does deserve credit for the work they do, we need to call out the increasing far left bias and activist journalism coming from these papers.

0:00.0	The New York Times is in panic because they claim Trump's allies are archiving old posts
0:07.7	from social media that they're going to use as weapons to humiliate their journalists.
0:12.8	And they refuse to back down. Something interesting happened. The story came out the other day.
0:17.3	And I was reading it and I thought it'd be interesting to talk about because the New York
0:20.9	Times is not above journalism. Who do they think they are? If your staff posts things publicly,
0:27.4	then they deserve an investigation on them as much as anyone. But the New York Times believes
0:32.3	they're above everyone else, sitting atop an ivory tower, and they should not be subject to
0:37.9	scrutiny. And that's what I thought. But in the end, I kind of felt like, well, you know,
0:42.1	I get it. The New York Times, they do this. They hire these people who say these things.
0:46.3	There's a reason why I'm doing it today. Because the left and the right and even Brian
0:51.2	Seltor of CNN are dragging the New York Times over their elitism. There's a viral post from
0:58.7	Splinter News, which is woke far left, dragging the New York Times, letting them know, you are not
1:06.4	above the act of journalism. And it's been a really bad past couple of weeks for the New York Times.
1:12.0	They recently had one of their staff members outed by Breitbart as an anti-Summite. And then the guy
1:17.1	went and started purging old tweets. They're now being dragged by the right for their past offensive
1:23.8	employees. But together, the left and the right and even mainstream journalists are telling the New
1:29.6	York Times, no, we have had it with your elitism. You're not special. You're not above us. And the
1:36.3	New York Times put out two statements, first a story, Trump allies target journalists over
1:43.0	coverage deemed hostile to White House. Spare me your lies. This was a defense from one of the
1:50.4	most prominent papers to make it seem like their journalists are only being scrutinized because
1:55.2	I go after Trump. Sorry, that's not the case. I don't care who you are. If you're in a position
2:01.2	to have an impact, we want to know what you're doing and why. No one is above this, not even me.
