NYT Opinion: The Children at the Trump Rallies (Angry Parents Alert!)
New York Times ^ | 8/3/18 | Damon Winter

Posted on 08/05/2018 8:30:47 AM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

During the last few weeks of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in the fall of 2016, I found myself seeking out increasingly tender and empathetic photographs of his supporters. Maybe it was the long weeks away from my own son that softened my eye and drew me toward parents and their children at Mr. Trump’s rallies. It’d been a long journey covering the campaign, and I remember being exhausted by the anger I experienced. The crowds took Mr. Trump’s lead and directed their hatred at me and my colleagues from the press, event after event, day after day, and, eventually, it took a toll.

The MSM seems to be panicking about their image.

More proof that the MSM has become a MAD magazine parody of themselves.

Oh my. Hey, Damon, why didn’t you report on the child separations that occurred during Obama’s Administration? Why didn’t you show the cage pictures then? If you really cared, it would transcend politics, but you didn’t, so your phony outrage is hypocritical and political.

They see it going on for 8 years and burning into the minds of future generations.

They know how to stop it but cannot take the pay cut.

Sucks to be them.

Liberals at the New York Times 'missed' those kids - and missed the videos of liberal children using the "F" word to condemn Trump - - children as young as five.

Not saying Damon Winter in a typical biased liberal liar working for the benefit of liberal elitists or anything... Oh wait, that IS what I'm saying...

As the NYT has seen fit to employ the hateful and racist Sarah Jeong, I can afford them no credibility. This article is without any merit whatsoever. Nothing they say matters until they fully disavow this hateful shrew.

It’s because of BS like this, Damon, that we can’t stand you.

Turning to the children? I miss the point of the article. I’ve taken my boys to three Trump events. Their only complaint was that we could not get spots at the front or immediately behind or around Trump. I’m sure we’ll all be going to Trump’s next events in the Reno area.

This was at the Portland protest yesterday. The kid can't be more than 7 or 8 years old and has a bandanna covering his face.

I believe parents taking innocent children to gay “pride” parades is child abuse.

When I made this comment, I received the liberal salute: the FU middle finger.

Pinkbell - they DID show the pictures of children in cages - the one's taken when Obama was President... They just showed them after Trump was elected and attributed the pictures to Trump...

We have good reason to warn our children against the press. Damon's son is safe from a corrupt press and the elitists they serve - our children are NOT...

Liberals claim they don’t understand what it means to “virtue signal.” This is what it means.

OR Madonna’s, “I’ve thought a lot about blowing up the White House”
Not to mention the image of that skank holding trumps decapitated, dripping blood head? Kids in restaurants suddenly seeing people attacked at another table. Nothing but hypocrites.

You know to read no further when the Dems or their news rags use the word “children” for anything....anything that’s “For the children’s sake” you can be sure is a political set up.

Finally! The Slimes gets something right. This is in fact an “opinion” piece, albeit a bad one.
