In a stunning revelation today, the Public Editor of the New York Times has announced that her newspaper held off from publishing a story during the election season about Donald Trumps secret ties to Russia, after the FBI discouraged publication. Shes acknowledging that the story could have upended the presidential election between Trump and Hillary Clinton, and shes criticizing her own newspaper for having been too timid in pulling its punches.

(16,168 posts)of overly shaved men with soft hands pontificating on the teevee about how no one could have seen this happening. They will go to their respective districts and talk about how sad a day it was for our country. The fbi will be given a tap on the wrist and will offer up 6 underlings and a mid level manager. The records will be sealed for 50 years and we will be told the system works. HooRah!!!

The news media only makes money in times of tradegy, scandal, etc. Why else would they do this and then immediately install 5 new investigative reporters in Washington the day of the inauguration?? This is all about them selling papers, winning Pulitzers, and national recognition like the guys who investigated Watergate.

"The FBI is Trumpland': Anti-Clinton atmosphere spurred leaks, sources say"
Deep antipathy to Hillary Clinton exists within the FBI, multiple bureau sources have told The Guardian, spurring a rapid series of leaks damaging to her campaign just days before the election.
Current and former FBI officials, none of whom were willing or cleared to speak on the record, have described a chaotic internal climate that resulted from outrage over Director Comey's July decision not to recommend an indictment over Clinton's maintenance of a private email server on which classified information transited.
"The FBI is Trumpland," said one current agent.

(7,770 posts)NY Times was always false equivalence with Hillary hate. Even Forbes as had good stuff on Russian Trump ties. So has WSJ. NY Times is so overrated-I agree with Trump on something hell has frozen-also people pointed out he doesn't go after the ones that really hurt him the most in his tweets. Interesting no?
