Morbidly fascinating 1) Trump writes “who does not exist” in reference to person who does, in fact, exist 2) Reporters say denying this real person’s existence is a lie 3) MUST DEFEND TRUMP/ATTACK MEDIA 4) Pretend “who” refers to date or quote, not person 5) “Argument” spreadshttps://twitter.com/blueboxdave/status/1000712903224385536 …

Did you look at his bio? He describes himself as the "NYT correspondent for the Federalist." So he doesn't write for the NYT, it's his beat. Very Soviet-style approach to the world. The Ministry of Propaganda now has dedicated desks, like a real newsroom.

I don’t see anything inherently wrong with someone covering the New York Times. I do, however, think it’s really weird to insist “who doesn’t exist” is a sensible criticism of the Times writing “impossible” when the person they’re reporting on said very unlikely, not impossible.
-
Can you name another publication that assigns "correspondents" to cover a newspaper?
-
I can’t name any off the top of my head. But there’s a lot of media out there and I don’t know all of it, so I can’t say definitively.

I've worked in publishing for decades & I've never seen anything even close. Beats are geographical or topical--media, politics, sports, etc. Even for conservatives: "liberal" media, msm. Disturbing too that Federalist's war on fact is so well-funded--1 journo on NYT, fulltime.

It's important because the New York Times shouldn't be reporting statements or sentiments that were never made as they did here. Nobody said 6/12 is impossible.
-
Probably won’t happen (“unlikely”) is different from definitely won’t happen (“impossible”). “Who” refers to people, not dates, words, or probabilities. These aren’t mutually exclusive. Why are you defending the latter error? Why not just criticize the former?
-
Because there exists no White House official who suggested what the Times claims was suggested.
