Americans used to depend on the NYT and WAPO for such investigative reporting . What happened?
Truth got in the way...
Just take an example, Mexico is paying the wall...
Mexico was never paying for the wall, I mean ever... NYT and WAPO had to report that, Trump got angry and called them fake news.
NEXT
Inauguration Crowd, it was less than Obama... Plain to see.. NYT and WAPO had to report that, Trump got angry and called them fake news.
Trump hid the truth about COVID at he start saying ti was going in a week. Trump admitted he lied later on tape. NYT and WAPO had to report that, Trump got angry and called them fake news.
If NYT or WAPO make a mistake they take it back and in a number cases people employment was terminated... Show the same behaviour from the Trump Administration.
So lets go back to the wall paid for by Mexico.. Trump supporters ignore they have been lied too... They don't want to admit they were fooled (on just wall thing) as this could mean he lied in other areas... So they run a narrative that NYT and WAPO are fake news and point out to critical articles.
Yes NYT and WAPO are critical, mainly due to Trump moves away from reality especially during COVID response... The COVID response will be the defining moment of the last Admin, those tapes with Bob Woodward will leave a damning condemnation of incompetence...
