I am really getting disappointed in the NY Times. First they hire climate denier

Bret Stephens at a time when the trump administration and the republicans want to undo any gains made to curb green house gases, pollution, and exit the Paris Accords. No NY Times we don't need anymore fake information from the likes of Bret Stephens.

Tonight in their infinite wisdom to setup false equivalencies between the republicans and Democrats, they have a video by Mark Scheffle and Shane O'Neill telling us how both republicans and Democrats have flip-flopped on Comey. It is so out of context it is pathetic. Shame on the NY Times for this garbage.

They did the same thing when one of the Democrats on the FEC stepped down, building the false equivalency argument that how there is deadlock because both sides won't budge. That was NOT the case at all, and was a gross distortion again.

In fact that report was so messed up, that the Democrat who resign from the commission wrote a rebuttal to state the reality of the situation:
