The New York Times Has a Very Serious Hillary Clinton Problem (Playing "the role Drudge used to play"?)
"....the New York Times has a very serious Hillary Clinton problem. Through the shoddy, over-reaching work of a handful of its many talented reporters and the bad choices of a few editors, the paper seems to be actively running a campaign to prevent the election of the first woman president of the United States.
After running a story that initially - and falsely - described Hillary as the target of a Federal criminal probe related to her emails, then having to retract a good portion of it, it’s not hard for readers to conclude that the New York Times opposes Hillary as a matter of policy....
A story like this is a disaster for a newspaper’s reputation. That this is not the first time it has occurred in relation to Hillary’s campaign makes the problem even worse. The original story was edited with no explanation, leaving the false 'criminal probe' narrative in both the print edition and thousands of links and shares online. The story’s sourcing was anonymous and thin and, as we know thanks to ranking Democratic member Elijah Cummings, most likely originated in the politically motivated special committee chaired by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy....
Times readers are not stupid. They know the GOP House leadership is selectively leaking information aimed at damaging the Democratic front-runner and preventing the election of the first woman president. They also realize ever since the paper’s cynical deal with the author of the anti-Hillary propaganda volume ‘Clinton Cash’ (an arrangement criticized by the paper’s excellent public editor) that the New York Times has a close relationship with that GOP leadership, its partisan researchers, and the select committee chairman.
If the Times has decided to play the role Drudge used to play, i.e. the outlet of choice to leak
anti-Clinton propaganda, the harm will not be to Hillary but to the paper itself."
