Oh my.
New York Times Has History of Exaggerating Seniority of Anonymous Officials
President Trump should probably call off the hunt for the “senior official in the...administration" who the New York Times is claiming wrote a damning op-ed for the newspaper.
Apparently the “senior official” claims to be part of a group of White House staff trying to thwart the president’s agenda from within. He also claims they seriously considered trying to depose the president using the 25th amendment of the Constitution.
Serious stuff. But President Trump should relax and remember it is the New York Times after all. The paper has a scandalous history of lying about the seniority of officials it quotes anonymously - especially when that source parrots their agenda.
A few years back they were caught red-handed deceiving their readers in such a way.....

They lied about Stalin's massacre in Siberia...they hid the Holocaust in the back pages until WWII was over.
What has the NYT told the truth about at all in the last two centuries?

The NYT said, in 1990, that Walter Duranty's Pulitzer Prize winning work was, "(S)ome of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper." However after review the Pulitzer Board declined to rescind the award, and the NYT has not returned it. These minimal actions - the review and the public statement - came only AFTER Robert Conquest's 1986 book, The Harvest of Sorrow and Sally J. Taylor's 1990 book, "Stalin's Apologist" were published.
