New York Times denounces Trump's 'intimidation tactics' against reporters

Source: AP

Updated 8:14 PM EDT, March 24, 2025


The New York Times on Monday denounced “intimidation tactics” by President Donald Trump against its reporters after days in which the administration assailed the newspaper’s reporting on Elon Musk and the Defense Department.

The newspaper said in a post on X — the platform owned by Musk — that Trump’s approach has “never caused us to back down from our mission of holding powerful people to account, regardless of which party is in office.” Peter Baker, Maggie Haberman and their colleagues “have an unrivaled record of covering this and prior administrations fully and fairly,” the Times said.

It was responding to Trump’s Sunday night Truth Social post that specifically criticized the Times’ Haberman, whose name was misspelled by the president as “Hagerman,” and Baker, along with Baker’s wife, New Yorker writer Susan Glasser. “There’s something really wrong with these people, and their SICK, DERANGED EDITORS,” Trump wrote. “They did everything in their power to help rig the Election against me. How did that work out???”

Trump has been known to publicly attack news organizations or specific journalists; not all of them choose to respond and engage.

Yeah, you'd think trump would show the NYT a little gratitude, considering all the help the paper gave him in this latest campaign.

Justice matters.

Oh... the convicted felon, lifelong lying fraudster and sexual predator who should spend his last days at Rikers instead of in the oval office deserved "normal" coverage because, dollars and cents are more important than basic decency, and true justice...

From people of this new generation who are supposed to know better, no less.

It has been reported that the Times trashed Biden on a daily basis because he did not give them an exclusive sit-down interview.

You're finding out.

You asswipes helped destroy our country by aiding and abetting the fascists and the oligarchs every step of the way. Now you're having second thoughts? Give me a break.
