Re: North Korea
 
The New York times is a disgusting news agency and I will NEVER accept their decision to publish Manchester Arena photos, of dead bodies and bomb fragments, in their efforts to embarrass the U.S relationship with the UK and an attempt to undermine the Trump Administration by sharing UK intel, just days after the Terrorist Attack occurred in my city. They are utter *******s & they deserve all the attacks they get whether they are right or wrong on their stories.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...h-korea-609617

In fact, there is an audio recording of the meeting, and of the "non-existent" Senior White House official who is named.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...d-doesnt-exist

It seems The New York times was indeed still incorrect with all the above regardless of that audio... that audio does NOT say what the NYT claims it says according to the Federalist...

So it seems the NYT did indeed publish FAKE NEWS all along. :rolleyes:

Clearly The New York Times peddled fake news. There may have been a real White House briefing with real White House officials, but The New York Times couldn’t be trusted to accurately summarize what the White House official said. And it wasn’t on a minor point.

Recall that the whole point of their characterization was to say this official was at odds with Trump and that Trump wasn’t listening to his advisors. The fact that Trump and his advisors were not disagreeing with each other undermines the entire point of The New York Times story.

Yes really, if you think posting UK intel of dead bodies from a terrorist attack and bomb fragments, days after the event actually occurred and you think that is even handed, then you have strange standards indeed Maggy. :td:

Comes back to the whole aspect of journalism though ; if you are presented with a leak do you report it or not?

Disgusting as it may be, the ethics surrounding it are far greater than pictures of what happened in our back yard.

Trump said that the spokesman didn't exist - that's Fake News, as the briefing was set up by the White House Press Office, and Matt Pottinger was the spokesman :rolleyes:

The Failing @nytimes quotes a senior White House official,” who doesn’t exist
btw, the author of that piece in the Federalist (a very Libertarian Pro-Trump website) has been described as

Senior editor Mollie Hemingway has been the site's most reliable Trump defender, even trying to justify the president's repeated threats of government action against news organizations he doesn't like. Hemingway has gone so far as equating respected media companies with fake news websites that make up stories.

The Times article in question published pictures of the home made bomb, not bodies. The UK press also carried those images after it was published in the Times.

So, can I take it that like the article in The Federalist, the slur against the New York Times is erroneous?

Damien 28-05-2018 21:45

Re: North Korea
 
I am just restating what the NY Times leaked intelligence story was. It was pictures of the bomb which were then put in many other media publications including ones in the UK. The UK Government were largely angry at the leak itself.

They are just as disgusting as well. But as for the pictures of bodies, it did post those bloody bodies, slightly blurred out but still identifiable as motionless fatalities - I know what I saw at the time and those pictures were in the NYT as well as other publications but I single out NYT as they seemingly gained leaks from U.S Intelligence agencies.

But not really - I know what I believe and it is not the NYT-end of.

Anyway lets get back on topic - this thread is about North Korea, not what you inaccurately portray what is or is not fake news.

I said back on topic which is anything related to actions in North Korea.

If you are losing the argument always best to bring it back on topic :)

Meanwhile, back on topic, Fox News, Desperate Don's go to news source had a totally different take on talking to North Korea in Obama's day:

Fox News Had a Different Reaction When Obama Wanted to Negotiate with North Korea

Only I have not lost any arguments. I don’t see posting an opinion or contributing to a topic a competition. If I’m wrong, I will say so, if I’m not, I will also say so.
