Less than a month after pledging to... rededicate ourselves to the fundamental mission of Times journalism. That 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. It is also to hold power to account, impartially and unflinchingly. You can rely on The New York Times to bring the same fairness, the same level of scrutiny, the same independence to our coverage of the new president... They have abandoned their PLEDGE.

To me it is only right for us to support a freely elected government that is friendly to us.
2. We sell weapons to Taiwan.
3. Both China and Taiwan sent congratulations to Trump on November 9th.
I went to the link (and gave the Slimes a hit). It is ironic that they are upset about Trump recognizing Taiwan, even though it has a democratically elected government, and are fearful of alienating China, a totalitarian government known for its long history of human rights violations. Then in the immediate next section the Slimes bemoans Trump’s potential willingness to meet with President Rodrigo Duarte of the Phillipines, a leader, as they put it, who “has been accused of gross human rights abuses.”
The ‘net has routed around The Slimes. Their time is OVER.
I don’t think the slimes have the slightest idea how irrelevant they have been, how increasingly irrelevant they currently are, and how totally irrelevant they are about to become.
Of course doing ANYTHING upsets decades of diplomacy - the whole State Department apparatus - a vast Washington DC bureaucratic conspiracy - that has grown up since WWII to "manage" our diplomatic relations with foreign countries.
In large measure our embassies and consulates are irrelevant to anything much, and Trump picking up the phone and calling leaders upsets that old rickety useless applecart.
In 2008, after Barack Obama won, a number of Democrats were calling for George W. Bush to step down immediately and not wait for the inauguration so Obama could get to work right away. Maybe Obama should step down now and get out of Donald Trump’s way.
Poor NYT .. they will probably never recover from Trump winning the election .. therefore, they will bad-mouth him forever.
They (NYT) need to get over it.
They had their figurative hands behind their backs, and their fingers crossed when they made that lying, mendacious, disingenuous faux pledge. It was a lie from the get-go.
To me it is only right for us to support a freely elected government that is friendly to us.

Absolutely correct and MOST IMPORTANT FACT is that FINALLY we have a leader who IS NOT AFRAID of displeasing China and is determined to bring America back to being the leader of the world. We have played politics too long and disregarded our rightful position in the world, thanks to left wing idiots. I trust Trump’s instincts far above the ideological globalists who thankfully have been STOPPED in their tracks by Donald J. Trump. Our president elect is telling the world “I will talk to whomever I damned well please, like it or not!” Hooray, America is back!
When I became a FREEPER I found I needed what was calles a “Tagline”. As I thought about it I read a post pointing out another “TIMES” slanting rant. I saw the very words in front of me...”WE PRINT THE NEWS AS IT FITS OUR VIEWS”.
I forget how many years ago I started, but I must admit, the N.Y. Slimes are very busy making me look good.
Thanks, guys.
When will the nyslimes stop murdering innocent trees to put out their lies and other yellow “journalistic” BS? I hope they go out of the business of putting out such continuous lies soon.
Your change of the headline is very funning and exactly on the nose.
Great tagline
Yeah, well, those trees aren't as innocent as they've been made out to be. They drop their limbs and branches and sometimes themselves on unsuspecting structures, cars and people.
They store up carbon like crazy and when they die, they release it all into the atmosphere.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Now I must retreat into my Snowflake Eco-Shelter.
I spin it differently: World leaders are so desperate for real US leadership and so anxious for Obama to be gone that they can't wait for Trump to be inaugurated and are reaching out now. Since they are the ones making the calls (not Trump) I think my spin is more accurate.
