How low will the mainstream media sink in their anti-Donald Trump witch hunt?
So low, they’re willing to lie to readers about something as simple as a ceremony at the White House congratulating the Super Bowl champions — and the New England Patriots just called them out on it!
The New York Times tweeted a picture Wednesday of the ceremony honoring the Patriots team for their victory in Super Bowl 51 over the Atlanta Falcons.
But this wasn’t an ordinary celebration picture — the Times used it as an excuse to attack Trump over the supposed crowd.

They compared the Patriots’ turnout for Trump’s ceremony against the team’s turnout for President Barack Obama in 2015.
The only problem?
It’s a total lie.
Thankfully, the New England Patriots were quick to point out the photo comparison was biased and intentionally misleading.
These photos lack context. Facts: In 2015, over 40 football staff were on the stairs. In 2017, they were seated on the South Lawn. https://t.co/iIYtV0hR6Y

In other words, the photographer had the staff that had previously stood on the surrounding stairs move this time.
What’s the truth?
Again, the NFL champions were ready —

No wonder the Patriots are champions, and The New York Times is failing.
One organization is no-nonsense and believes in hard work, and they win because of it.
The other uses shortcuts and lies to push a fake liberal narrative, and they’re losing because of it.
Here’s what Trump had to say about it —
Failing @nytimes, which has been calling me wrong for two years, just got caught in a big lie concerning New England Patriots visit to W.H.
