Pretending To Have A Scoop, 'The New York Times' Is Again Failing Its Readers

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : The most interesting and alarming thing about the Times story today is to be found in a little aside in a section explaining that it is based on what Trump has said during his campaign, on his website, and interviews with "campaign advisers, including some who spoke with The New York Times at the request of the campaign."
50% : There is a nah-nah-nah quality about the Times coverage of Trump at this point that is downright obnoxious.
42% : As with its previous coverage of Trump, it's all about emphasis, and the New York Times is failing again on that score nearly every day, the knowing murmurs of the whisper-troika notwithstanding.
36% : This time, the Times is pounding the bongo drum of inflation that doesn't exist, an economy that Trump says is failing, which the Times loyally reports every time that lie comes out of his mouth, and polls that are beneficial to one person every time the Times headlines them.
31% : In fact, the story covers Trump's outrageous plans for a second term as if it's breaking news, from his threat to round up thousands of immigrants and put them in detention camps built by the military using Defense Department funds, to his scheme to install Trump loyalists throughout the government, including in the civil service.
27% : The Times does come up with one area not covered in the Post November story, the likelihood that Trump will pull the U.S. out of NATO, "retreat from Europe," and instead use American military power against gangs in Mexico.
22% : The New York Times on Tuesday published what it professes is The Great Summing Up of the horrors likely to be visited upon us by a second term of Donald Trump in the White House.
18% : I am usually thankful for any juicy nugget I can get about Donald Trump and his authoritarian stratagems, but this kind of inside-baseball nonsense in a story that sums up Trump's plans to jettison democracy in favor of a Hitlerian dreamscape that pretends only the New York Times can accurately report is as unseemly as it is childish.
2% : In the 2016 campaign, the Times devoted thousands of inches to garbage like Hillary's emails and Russian-generated lies promoted by people like Roger Stone, who served as a kind of backstage Roy Cohn to Trump after he was publicly ousted from the Trump campaign in a fake dispute established just so Trump could put distance between himself, his campaign, and Stone.
