Count me as deeply disappointed that @brianstelter didn't ask the Clinton Cash question. Elemental to the entire NYT/Trump story.https://twitter.com/ma_nyc7/status/983352693740761089 …

What a complete copout. This has been the media's continued excuse for failing to reflect on their role in electing Trump. "But it's done and so we can't discuss it" is so utterly spineless and pathetic.
-
Many editions of my program discussed this exact topic. Back in 2016/2017. Here are the transcripts! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/rs.html …

Like this one where you posit that the news is being too nice to Clinton? http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1512/20/rs.01.html …

Dig in! Just don't cherry-pick.

I mean, you said you don't have time to do this when you have the very man who can answer these questions on your show. Why do you assume I or anyone else does?
-
Nope, i said it's not the best use of the time allotted. Relitigating 2016 coverage choices might have made sense in early 2017, but it doesn't make sense to me now in 2018.
-
Are you saying that it doesn't make sense to take critical look at media covered topics in 16? Do you have conclusions on what went wrong about coverage? Have you implemented policies to prevent this in future? If it doesn't make sense to do now, then I expect those ?s answer=yes
-
Because it's demonstrable that the coverage was atrocious. And this, let's not relitigate it line seems like it's saying, "eh so what we made horrendous mistakes and helped elect Trump...let's sweep it under the rug". When in reality, we absolutely should look at what went wrong!

respectfully, the NYT's coverage of 2016 is one reason why a large chunk of *potential* Democratic readers have turned away from the country's biggest paper. There aren't a lot of avenues to ask Baquet to fully address that, which I think he should be asked to do until he does.
-
I don't know of much evidence that a large chunk of potential readers have turned away. I'd be interested in seeing that evidence

MSM is NEVER going to offer anything resembling a mea culpa for 2016. Especially not the NYT. Gotta say pretty funny to see the alarm and whining of having their face chewed off by the leader of the face eating cheetah party they certainly helped elect.
-
I do remember that and appreciate you were actually one of the very few. Truthfully, my snark and anger was more directed at the NYT and CNNs overall blanket Trump coverage which I realize you had no control over.

Respectfully think ducking question. Believe true answer is that question of some responsibility for 2016 is uncomfortable for media. Sure defend freedom of press, but also address hard reality of $$ and ratings and how they affect news coverage.

We've talked about that in depth on my program. But it's more than 16 months old at this point. The transcripts are here: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/rs.html …

Of course you didn't. I wouldn't expect any less (more) from you.

@brianstelter thanks for liking my tweet but I meant it as an insult. Sorry for the confusion, I'll be more clear moving forward.
