The NY Times spent 1 1/2 years digging up the story about the corrupt Trump crime family. Laying out the money laundering, the tax fraud, the article that exposed that Trump got 400 million dollars from daddy.

That 1 1/2 year expose' made the news cycle for a total of 24 hours.

Think about that all of you who think that what the M$M does has to with making money, it doesn't. It has to do with them being complicit with the far right wing narratives.
