OPINION: The NY Times owes Hillary Clinton an apology

I cancelled my subscription to the NYT due to the unfair coverage of Hillary Clinton. The NYT and Haberman helped elect TFG




“The 2-year frenzy over the emails was a political Rorschach test where everyone saw something different in what was ultimately nothing. Call it sexism, Republican depravity, ratings-hungry media, it’s time we acknowledge it was bullshit, and write that into the history books.” – Hillary Clinton

Back in 2016, their reporter Maggie Haberman amplified the Hillary Clinton conspiracy which Trump campaigned on. I and many other conservatives who supported Trump (including others like me who learned this was a mistake) did our best to get this to the masses to say ‘Hillary Clinton was an irresponsible leader and unfit to be President.’ At the time I was spreading this lie, I didn’t know it was a lie, and the fact that the Times writer amplified it, even more, made us believe we were right and this possibly persuaded undecided electoral voters to pick Trump. Little did I know that I would eventually learn that Hillary Clinton was exonerated of any wrongdoing, and I apologized for my part in spreading this lie.,,,,,

Maggy Haberman and the not-so-liberal media the NY Times owe Hillary Clinton a public apology.

We all owe a thank you to Nick Merill for informing all of us about a disservice to the public emanating from the Old Gray Lady when it suddenly began to betray its motto of publishing “all the news that’s fit to print.”

penitence and forfeit their positions and estates.

As for the other, Haberman does not have "fans" here who admire her despicable work in electing tRump and other Republicans.

Unfortunately for the one-dimensional person theory, we all contain multitudes. Serial killers can be good neighbors and exceptional physicians with many grateful patients. And Haberman can be a top journalist on the team that earned a Pulitzer for covering tRump-Russia -- AFTER she with the NYT succeeded in throwing the nation to the Republicans with blatantly biased coverage.

As for voters this is really about, I've come to believe those who can be fooled all the time, in this case right up through the election, are those who want to be.
