The New York Times just trashed President Donald Trump over his claims that former President Barack Obama had wiretapped his phone during the presidential election.
But what they didn’t realize was that they were proving themselves to be fake news in the process!
In an article released Sunday, Times’ writers Michael S. Schmidt and Michael D. Shear wrote, “Mr. Trump’s demand for a congressional investigation appears to be based, at least in part, on unproven claims by Breitbart News and conservative radio hosts that secret warrants were issued authorizing the tapping of the phones of Mr. Trump and his aides at Trump Tower in New York.”
But they clearly didn’t do their research.
The Breitbart article these liberals blame for reporting unproven claims references a previous Times article… written by the exact same writers!
While the online version of the article is entitled, “Intercepted Russian Communications Part of Inquiry in Trump Associates,” an editorial note at the bottom reveals the truth.
The note reads, “A version of this article appears in print on January 20, 2017 on page A1 of the New York edition with the headline, “Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides.”
In the article, the Times’ reports evidence of wiretapping, writing, “One official said reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House.”
It doesn’t get any more clear than that.
The print version can be seen below, and is further proof that the liberal media will denounce Trump at any chance they get…even if it compromises their own credibility.
Busted!
