Is NY Times Michael Schmidt an objective reporter?

[BigmanPigman]

I can not figure him out. From what I have seen, he seems to be less than objective in his reporting, or it may just be me and my interpretation.

1. I feel the same

I never really know where this guy is coming from

[OKNancy]

2. I think he is a good reporter

He is on top of all the breaking political news for the New York Times.
He seems to break bad news for Trump at least once a week.
I,for one, am glad he is there.

3. I think he is a Michael Schmidt reporter i.e. he'll do what's best for him rather than doing what's

best for his country.

4. Yes he will,

he loves to burn his fellow Reporters. Just a male version of Maggie Haberman.

12. Yes ! Perfect comparison.

5. Wow... I had the same thought just now...

...Watching him on Nicole Wallace.

I don't remember exactly what he said, but I was thinking to myself... "Is this what journalism is today?" Nothing specific, but just a feeling.

6. I got a bad feeling from him last Sept when

he wrote that Rosenstein offered to wear a wire around the moron (this was when he was still in charge of the investigation). The fake prez could have easily fired him for it but another big news story came out the same day and distracted him.

Watching him on Nicole's show brought that back into my head. His article about Mueller's team leaking was not as thorough as the one later in the Wash Post and it made me question him again.

8. And he seemed to just accept whatever the Trump team told him as true. That, for example,

Barr was worried about doing anything that would make him look too "political."

9. He is dating Nicolle Wallace

11. That IS interesting.

At least they aren't acting like the two Conways.

[OnDoutside]

14. No !!! She can do way better than that....

7. He has conservative sources and repeats their shit as if it is fact

Good reporters know when they are getting spun. He doesn't, and is always spun towards conservative propaganda. He is not a good reporter.

[snort]

10. He reports like a guy trying to keep his job safe.

13. NYT seems to water everything down.
