NY Times Admits Biased Coverage on Trump
Newsmax ^ | November 12, 2016 | Sandy Fitzgerald

Posted on 11/12/2016 6:23:25 PM PST by kevcol

In the letter to subscribers, signed by both Sulzberger and Executive Editor Dean Baquet, the pair said they promise 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.
.
.
.
"Because it demonized Trump from start to finish, it failed to realize he was onto something," Goodwin writes. "And because the paper decided that Trump's supporters were a rabble of racist rednecks and homophobes, it didn't have a clue about what was happening in the lives of the Americans who elected the new president."

The flagship of the Ministry of Propaganda went way beyond bias years ago.
When Trump came on the scene they went completely Goebbels.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Exactly right. And this “mea culpa” by those phony bastards should be the subject of never-ending ridicule.

The NY Times is lying again.

It’s not possible for the newspaper to be unbiased. Not at all. And the reason is quite simple...

The NY Times starts out with the staff being, like most of the media, more than 90% liberal, and their editors and publishers are all liberal. They recruit mostly or totally liberal “journalism” graduates, and those graduates have been totally indoctrinated on the idea that, their careers and purpose, is to change the world and to work with their preferred “leaders” to make things happen, while the original purpose of journalism was to report the news and facts and to educate their readers. Now, the NY Times and most other “journalism” outfits, are just mouthpieces for the liberal left and democratic party. So, it’s impossible to get the NY Times to not be biased. Liberalism is coursing through their blood.

There are lots of article out there today where the NYT admitted the “blew it” by skewing the coverage for the election.

I read dozens of the today:

Google: Dean Baquet
Google: New York Times

And tonight I see the “NY Times Promises to Rededicate itself to news”.

Remember the are losing big money ... hence the retreat. :)

I read the letter. The publisher admits to no such thing. The almost verbatim quote was ‘We believe we covered both candidates fairly.’

This headline is misleading. The only thing they are admitting to is that their readers are stupid, and to cater to stupid people, they have to start acting impartially even though they have no intention of doing so.

The Times can start by learning the difference between prejudice and bias.

CLINTON: "So what I am proposing is that we invest from the middle out and the ground up, not the top down." and "We’ll have what economists call middle-out growth."

Did she really say those things? Wow! Even leaving economics aside, what the heck -- that's pure gibberish.

It’s Van Jones’ communist sayings: Top down. Bottom up. Inside out.

NY Times Admits Biased Coverage on Trump

Not really. Michael Goodwin, who doesn't write for the NYT, admits that their coverage is biased, as anyone who doesn't work for the NYT would. It's asking a bit too much to expect the NYT to acknowledge reality - whether political reality or the reality of their own bias.

Yes, had to post debate transcript just to discuss it because the press let Hillary and Obama use it unchallenged, not one big picture- hows that work? Free pass on Utopian doctrine.

Basically they are saying “oh you can trust us now. So when we write all of our anti-trump articles these next four years hopefully you will believe us” Forget it NYT, no more MSM.

They just put up an editorial in which they blame Putin for tilting the election away from Clinton, and thus being largely instrumental in her loss. So I guess they mean that “unbiased” = not accepting Clinton’s claim that her loss was due to Comey’s reopening the email investigation. Rather, according to The NYTimes, it was Putin’s fault, and Trump is irresponsible for not accepting the verdict of “the intelligence community” that Putin was hacking everything in sight in order to sway the election (they conveniently omit the fact that the FBI, i.e., Comey, wouldn’t sign off on that verdict).

Fruitcakes.

Oh, shut up and just fold already. You’re hemorrhaging money and your credibility has sunk below a sh_thouse basement. Your apology is as empty as your till.

The New York Times = the Clinton Crime Family & DNC "Ministry of 'Truth'".

Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels would be proud.

The NYT Has lost ALL CREDIBILITY! Their so-called "journalists", the NYT's paper and their stock's have less value than toilet paper!

They never had the guts to put it in print in their own paper, just a letter to their liberal subscribers. Cuts out the hullabaloo that would occur if they came clean to the whole world.
