... to Trump's side:
Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin singled out The New York Times in particular for it’s biased coverage of Donald Trump‘s presidential victory Thursday, saying that its post-election headline could have come straight from the satirical newspaper The Onion.
“I love The New York Times. I think it’s a great institution…” Halperin said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, holding up a copy of the print version. “Look at the headline of this story.”
The front page headline of The Times read “Democrats, Students And Foreign Allies Face The Reality Of A Trump Presidency.” “This is the day after a surprising underdog sweeping victory,” Halperin pointed out.
“Their headline is not ‘Disaffected Americans Have A Champion Going To The White House’ or ‘The Country Votes For Fundamental Change.’ The headline is about how disappointed the friends of the people who run The New York Times are about what happened,” he said.
Good for the New York Times. Their pimping of the email story bears seroius responsibility for what happened. "Disaffected Americans" do not have a champion going to the White House. A bunch of fools just sent an odious demagogue to the White House because he told them a fairy tale that made them feel good about themselves. Marks, every last one of them.
Mark Halperin is one of Trump's marks too, apparently.
