An extraordinary set of exchanges between McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt and NYTimes White House correspondent Michael D. Shear. Q: When is a lie a lie? A: When it’s a lie, except in the New York Times. Essential reading.https://twitter.com/steveschmidtses/status/992822469013704704 …
I have the deepest respect for the reporters particularly at the NYT and Washington Post who are breaking story after story in this deranged era of American politics. The Pulitzer’s were well earned.M. Shear is someone I deeply respect and we have always disagreed agreeably.

The NYT remains the newspaper of record. And has so often in its history spoken truth to power courageously. (C. f., Pentagon Papers.) Which is why I think it all the more important to call them out when they refuse to call torture torture, or a lie a lie.

I think it is an important and necessary discussion. The late great Sen DP Moynihan said “ Americans are entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts.” We objectively don’t live in that country anymore and that isn’t just tragic it’s dangerous to democracy .
