Democrats’ frustration with the news media boils over

A liberal backlash against the news media’s coverage of Donald Trump and the 2020 race was already brewing when the New York Times published a five-word headline Monday night summarizing the president’s reaction to the mass shootings over the weekend: “Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism.”

“Unbelievable,” steamed Beto O’Rourke. “That’s not what happened,” wrote Kirsten Gillibrand. “Lives literally depend on you doing better,” Cory Booker tweeted.

New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet said senior editors quickly recognized problems with the original headline Monday night and rewrote it. “The fact that Beto O’Rourke and Cory Booker didn’t like it didn’t influence me,” Baquet said in an interview Tuesday. “I don’t need the entire political field to tell me we wrote a bad headline. It was evident.”

The left is going after the New York Times. They accuse them being pro-Trump.

Everyone of them is looking to use these tragedies to their advantage as much as they can, as fast as they can.  Every single one of them is tanking in the polls and they're sure this is going to be their ticket.  Especially O'Rourke.

Heheh, if I were King for a Day, the next day's NYT headline would be "Opportunistic Democrat Candidates Attack Honesty News" and then recite what every one of them said, condemning them being pro-Free Press only as long as it supports them.

This is just more proof of the NYT being PART of the democrat party.

So much for the freedom of the press, if it doesn't fit the left's propaganda line it must be changed.
