So the NYTimes' Maggie Haberman had another "but-Hillary's-not-perfect" story ready to pop out there

[pnwmom]

just as DT's taking another big media hit.

Haberman's story was from events in 2008, which, based on the standards of the time, Hillary handled well.

But she's not perfect, and Haberman stands ready to remind us of that, every time DT is in more trouble.

1. Isnt she still working with Glenn Thrush- who pounced on coworkers and then painted them as rejects

Who he wasn’t interested in screwing around with- when the opposite was true? That’s mighty forgiving of Maggie, but legacy hires tend to do what they’re told to for friends.

[herding cats]

2. I didn't look at the article but I've seen it posted. I should have guessed it was Haberman's work.

She's nothing if not predictable.

8. same here, I didn't view the link because I exceeded the number of free articles I can view, and I

should have known it was Haberman.

What was amusing was it was on the same front page where the Times was reporting that trump wanted to fire Mueller.

Why would this story be on Page 1 of the Times?

Perhaps Haberman is looking for a job with the trump administration, or at the minimum is trying to garner favor with trump so she can get another interviews with him

So glad I dropped my subscription to them almost a year ago, and subscribed to the NY Times

14. I think she told the Fresh Aire host several months back

she was writing a book.

[still_one]

15. What will the book be about?

[irisblue]

18. I went to look it up....suprise from Vanity Fair

Maggie Haberman and Glenn Thrush Take the "Next Step with Trump
The New York Times’ masters of West Wing insider detail just made a book deal with Random House. But they want it to be more than the book version of the reality show.

JOE POMPEO. SEPTEMBER 12, 2017 6:10 PM
I do not know if the plans have changed since Glen Thrush got busted for sexual harrassment.
Snip...
"But the duo’s ambition for the as-yet-untitled book, according to sources familiar with the plan, is to do something that goes beyond the palace intrigue (though there’ll be plenty of that as well) to tell a larger story about who Trump is, why the country chose him, and what it all says about America and where we’re headed. They’ve told people that they want the book to be “durable,” and that, “We want this to mean something.”

Well, that does explain quite a bit

[still_one]

24. I have no doubt that it will sell

17. -

Haberman's not worth wasting one of your 10 freebies on, but you can get another 10 (and another 10...) for click-worthy articles. Just delete the cookies for that one site in your browser's preferences.

3. She know what happened to Jill Abramson for being too "pushy"

as the first executive editor at the NY Times.

The current male executive editor got where he is by complaining about Abramson and getting her fired.

[HipChick]

4. It's a good thing, she never paid off any porn stars..

[Cha]

7. Yeah, or colluded with russia

to get rigged into office. Or launder money.. or tweet lies like a gd maniac.

[The_jackalope]

5. If I didn't know better I'd say

Она российский агент.

But hey, she writes for the NYT. so she can't be, right?

[lapucelle]

6. A law firm on retainer conducted an investigation and advised the campaign

based on policies that were already in place and contractual obligations. It's amazing how this set of facts morphed into that inaccurate, clickbait headline.

"The investigation into Mr. Strider’s conduct was described as brief, but it included a review of a number of emails he sent the young woman, who had shared an office with him.

A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton provided a statement from Utrecht, Kleinfeld, Fiori, Partners, the law firm that had represented the campaign in 2008 and which her advisers said has been involved on sexual harassment issues.

'To ensure a safe working environment, the campaign had a process to address complaints of misconduct or harassment. When matters arose, they were reviewed in accordance with these policies, and appropriate action was taken,” the statement said. “This complaint was no exception.'”

9. Hillary lives rent free in Mag's head. nt

[GaryCnf]

10. I am for certain

not a Clinton apologist, but you are absolutely correct. Hillary did exactly what she should have done . . . exactly.

This is a complete smear. In 2008, when Hillary was taking action, people just like Haberman were turning a blind eye to flat out rape by their rich and influential media friends.

They can f*** themselves and their Trump squirrel.

16. The Times has a curious record for "breaking" news damaging to Republicans

All through the 2004 campaign, the Times sat on the story of the NSA's warrantless wiretapping. They didn't want to publish for fear it would affect the 2004 election, so they "broke" the news in December after Bush was safely re-elected.

[orangecrush]

31. Curious indeed.

[Farmer-Rick]

21. Ok I'm confused

HILLARY is Not president nor has she ever been president. Why would white house lies have anything to do with her? I know she got the majority of votes and she should be president much like Gore and Kerry, but votes don't really count in our presidential elections.

So lots and lots of lies from the White House means .....NOTHING about Hillary. Except that the idiot in chief is a stupid, silly, small handed man. His hands are the size of Putin's little hands but Putin is a much smaller man than Trump.

[orangecrush]

30. don't feel bad

I'm confused that a sane country could elect a Donald Trump.

[Farmer-Rick]

33. True that

[Demit]

12. Too bad there's no more ombudsman at the NYT to complain to.

This "story" is an utter disgrace.

[Fred Sanders]

13. SHE is not PERFECT. Man privilege is as real as white privilege.

Often the same whether from left or right.

[LisaL]

19. Nobody is perfect.

[lunamagica]

25. That's right. But flaws and imperfections are allowed when you're a man

[spanone]

20. ten year old story.....what utter horseshit

[Hekate]

22. Aw, shit. Anyone would think that "they're both the same." Hey, Maggie: ...

HILLARY WON!!!

[Tatiana]

23. I guess the NYT has their very own "Steno Sue" in Haberman.

Someone should give her a minilesson on journalistic integrity.

[pressbox69]

26. Just another Vlad girl.

[elfin]

27. She uses Hillary "stories" to keep access to Trump

Seemed to workin earlier times, but now I think her run is ending.

Am glad the latest headlines brought the other reporter on the Mueller firing attempt story, Michael Schmidt, to news shows instead of her. He has been very busy the last couple of days.

Hope he is the lead on future reporting.

[greyl]

29. Sharp point. nt

[JI7]

28. Andrea Mitchell said the Women Accusing First Bush of Sexual Harrassment should be Ashamed

keep in mind that the people around Bush did not dispute it including his own wife.

32. Why the fuck is she bothering writing about Hillary?

Hillary is no longer a candidate nor in office. She is a private citizen. FFS! Leave her ALONE! I don't understand why the right has such an obsession with her. Let the poor woman live her life in peace.

[Generic Brad]

34. Consider the source

Haberman has been a Trump shill for a long time.

Frankly, Hillary Clinton is out of power and is not coming back. This is kicking the opposition when they are down. It is pointless to attack a private citizen by proxy other than pettiness. If I heard a similar story about W these days it would have no interest or bearing on today and there would be no reason to be outraged.
