New York Times
Newt Gingrich
By Newt Gingrich Published November 16, 2016 FoxNews.com

On Sunday, the publisher and the executive editor of the New York Times published a letter to the paper’s readers, promising to “rededicate” the paper to its “fundamental mission”. That mission, they said, is to “report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor, striving always to understand and reflect all political perspectives and life experiences in the stories that we bring to you.”

This is as close as the Times is likely to come to apologizing to its readers for a year and a half of unbalanced--and often unhinged--coverage of the presidential race.

This is good...!


Here are the seven questions:

Quote:
 
1. Does the Times have any reporters, editors, or columnists who will say they voted for Trump, and has it hired any new ones?



2. Has it hired any reporters who are even Republicans?



3. Has it changed its policies that allowed journalists to express their opinions about the events and people they covered in their news stories?



4. Will it ask the Pulitzer Prize board to withdraw, and its reporters to return, any prizes that might be awarded for news stories that contained reporters’ personal opinions?



5. Have its editors retracted misleading news headlines that expressed opinions or pure speculation--such as the paper’s coverage of Trump’s tax returns?



6. Has it fired reporters who admitted to writing politically motivated “news” stories and encouraged interview subjects to talk to them so they could stop Trump?



7. Has it retracted its shameful election-eve front-page story “reporting” on Trump’s innermost thoughts and feelings, virtually every sentence of which is filled with reporters’ opinions and speculations--featuring claims like “he is struggling to suppress his bottomless need for attention”?

If the answer to all of these questions is “no”--why would anyone believe that the paper is now “rededicated” to honesty? And why would anyone trust the New York Times to report on American politics?

One is amused to see fans of Breitbart News and Fox News calling for fair and balanced by the most influential and avowedly liberal newspaper in the country.

There is confusion here about "the media," which, as the term implies, suggests that the different sources of news and information share common roots and responsibilities. They don't.

The press (newspapers) have always been politically partisan; in fact, many of them used to be owned by political parties. Partisan support and attack have been the foundation of editorial policy since the days of Jim and Benny Franklin. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Radio and TV do not have their roots in "the press." From the beginning, these media have been seen as commercial users of the publicly-owned airwaves, rather as trucking companies use the public highways. This difference has meant much more stringent censorship of content, including advertising, and government licensing dependent on meeting standards of fairness and the public interest which have never applied to the press.

As usual, the American public, ignorant of its laws and history, is whining and griping about a situation which, although deplorable, is not what it thinks it is. The right is, as usual, screaming over the wrong thing.

If the Times hopes to survive the next four years it would be wise for them to admit their printed fraud and begin the kiss up process to gain Trump's favor. Otherwise, out of business.

Whoaaa! Whoaaa!

Avowedly liberal? Where does it say that? In it's masthead? "We are advocates for the Democratic Party! We are Liberals. Vote Democrats, ..always!"



C'mon Georgie. Newt Gingrich is pulling their pants down (The New York Times) for all the world to see. Are there ANY, ...I mean ANY Republicans/Conservatives on the New York Times? Who are they? Where are they? Hiding under their desks?

If not, how in the name of Karl Marx can the New York Times be called anything but advocacy newspaper for ONE political party? ....Democrats/Liberals? They KNOW nothing about conservatism, or the Republican Party, yet claim to be the paper "of record." For whom? Marxists? Liberals? Which records are they keeping? Those that tow the liberal party line? Hmmm? This is pure insanity.

This is precisely what Trump (whom I do not like) should be doing. Go after the New York Times and its liberals. You liberals created this monster, Trump, by giving him massive FREE air time when he was running in the Republican primaries. Non-stop Trump coverage during the Republican primaries, hoping, praying that He would be the one selected to run for the Republicans in 2016, and then, ...then, ...we can TRASH him! Great plan! It worked!


One problem, however, Trump is now President-elect. Oooops, how'd that happen?

No, Ace.

The same questions to:

ABC News
CBS News
NBC News
MSNBC ( :rotflmao: )
CNN
The BBC
All government-sponsored European news outlets.
All American newspapers
All European newspapers and magazines

(The list goes on)

What is the definition of journalism? Hmmm?

The Sulzberger family has run the Times for generations in the great American tradition of newspaper families. As the newspaper industry has declined, the Times has become the paper of record for America. It is, and has always been, spokesman for the New York political elite. Because New York City is the media capital of America, the Times has a nation-wide audience and influence.

The illiterate right is infuriated by the Times' sense of superiority and its New York values which go beyond mere "liberalism" as defined down in Dogpatch. Watching our fascist bumpkins try to tip over the greatest newspaper in America is a bit like watching a cute little dog lift his leg and pee on the Washington Monument.

When a major political party is led by a racist, it is the media’s duty to expose that racism to the American public.

No, ...no, ....no.

We're not gonna let you off the hook on this one.

I know all about the "weirdo" Sulzberger. Even Vanity Fair considers this guy, who has LOST millions of dollars running the Times, a very strange egg indeed.

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2009/05/new-york-times200905

But, yet, you haven't responded to my question. You are "tap dancing" around it. If the New York Times CLAIMS to speak for all Americans, howz come there isn't a SINGLE Republican/Conservative on their staff? Dude, you may not like us, you might not understand our capitalistic, free market ideas, but we still got 50% of the vote in the latest Presidential elections.

Versteh? This isn't the Marxist Brotherhood of Vermont. This isn't the Green Party. Republicans, ...fifty percent. Our ideas matter. We are part of America. Yet, the idiot who runs the New York Times, and who by many accounts is a hated figure within the confines of the newspaper, refuses to recognize us. WTF...?

How very silly of you.

You forgot to mention that he was a Nazi too, wears swastika's on his arms when not seen in public ...and is a contributing member of the KKK as well. No question. Trust me. He also hates puppies, wears leather marching boots whenever he can and sleeps under a portrait of Joseph Goebbels. Trust me.
