The New York Times Outraged : Reporters Being Exposed In Treachery?

It sure seems like the old adage of  ''The pot calling the kettle black'' is in play here. If there was any real journalism going on here there might be some legitimate concern, but what has transpired in the progressive socialist liberal far left democrat confines of such paragons of truth like the New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN, among many other standout media, is nothing more the ranting of outrageous ideological treachery!

Journalism for the most part is dead and will likely never recover.

Some journalists are irate over a New York Times story about allies of President Donald Trump collecting damaging information on reporters from “news organizations deemed hostile” to the president.

This is “the latest step in a long-running effort by Mr. Trump and his allies to undercut the influence of legitimate news reporting,” according to the article. It adds that the group responsible has previously released information about journalists from The Washington Post, The New York Times, and CNN, “three outlets that have aggressively investigated” Trump.

“This is an extremely alarming piece and should worry anyone who cares about independent journalism,” Lydia Polgreen, editor-in-chief of HuffPost, tweeted. Polgreen previously worked at The New York Times.

A CNN spokesperson replied in The New York Times article that when “those working on their behalf, threaten and retaliate against reporters as a means of suppression, it’s a clear abandonment of democracy for something very dangerous,” CNN’s Brian Stelter tweeted.
