“The failing New York Times, in one of the most devastating portrayals of bad journalism in history, got caught by a leaker that they are shifting from the Phony Russian Collusion Narrative (the Mueller Report & his testimony were a total disaster), to a Racism Witch Hunt,” Trump wrote on Twitter, adding “‘Journalism’ has reached a new low in the history of our Country. It is nothing more than an evil propaganda machine for the Democrat Party. The reporting is so false, biased and evil that it has now become a very sick joke…But the public is aware! The reporting is so false, biased and evil that it has now become a very sick joke…But the public is aware!”

Talking about the pivot, Baquet said “I think that the story changed. A lot of the stuff we’re talking about started to emerge like six or seven weeks ago.”
“How do we cover America, that’s become so divided by Donald Trump? How do we grapple with all the stuff you all are talking about? How do we write about race in a thoughtful way, something we haven’t done in a large way in a long time?” he continued.
Such a disgrace at the once great @nytimes! https://t.co/UKjP6AU0hz

Meanwhile, the Washington Examiner‘s Byron York wonders if the public should “still view the Times as a news outlet? Or as something else?”
