So during the 2016 campaign those bastards over at the NYTimes wouldn't get enough column-inches of Clinton bashing in. From Maureen Dowd (Obama used to be ok until Clinton got her goo -Dowd's words, not mine- all over him) to Judith Miller, to "news" reporters, and to the whole editorial board, it was OMG EMAILS! We love St Bernie! Benghazi! Assange, NOT LIKABLE and CACKLES, and other made up or wildly inflated shit.

Compare that coverage to the breathless and overall less than stellar coverage of Trump. They never dug at anything. They ran puff pieces.

Though the WaPo was worse the New York Times ran more negative stories on Clinton than on Donald the orange filth Trump. Sure they endorsed her and said hopefully she'll be elected, but the stories they chose to focus on were part of what helped tilt the balance to his side.

And here, as if butter wouldn't melt in their mouths, they come out with a majorly researched investigative piece on Trump's tax fraud.

Now.

Tax fraud, I'll add, that happened long before he ran for president.

Where the fuck were the reporters during the campaign? Why were they not digging up this shit, stuff that would have helped advert this filth ever getting elected.

Oh wait.

I almost forgot.

... but her emails.

may i present this op-ed by my middle son: https://chscommunicator.com/uncategorized/2016/11/04/trump-the-unqualified-chump/

if a 16yo can find that just by reading a few articles, you'd think an actual paid reporter could have done some actual research (as you said). Even if they waited to start when he clinched the nomination, they had plenty of time to dig in.
