FINALLY!!!! The NYT is putting Trump's tweets where they belong!

In the first section of today's Times, there's a news analysis below the fold on the first page. I didn't see any other Trump stories until page 21!!! Two 6 inch columns in the bottom right hand corner "Trump Says Republican Memo Proves His Innocence on Russia." That's where Trump's baseless, idiotic pronouncements belong, given that the Times has to put it somewhere.

Has anyone seen evidence of this kind of common sense anywhere else? Oh that the cable stations would follow the Times example. I hope they keep it up!

A case of crying wolf too many times is starting to take place I think w/ this guy's tweets and/or other nonsense (tRUMP)...I am getting sick of this guy's nonsense in governing (lack of) and mouthing off. It rather gets tiresome...

their "enewspaper" version of the print edition, and their coverage of his attempt to use their paper to spread lies was on page 14 on the bottom right.

Very good, both of you.

to rethink how they covered him starting back during the primaries, lots of discussion about this on journalism sites, but obviously it's an ongoing process as he continues to abuse their mandate to inform.

Pay him no attention. He needs to be the center of attention. Without it - this his lifeblood - you'll really see some crazy tweets. He might even embarrass himself.

If he's not, he'll fire Rosenstein and put a flunky -- probably his Mar-A-Lago golf course greensman -- in his place as deputy AG.
