      NYT Gives Trump His Excuse to Fire Rod Rosenstein https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/09/21/nyt-gives-trump-his-excuse-to-fire-rod-rosenstein/ … By this description, ZERO of the people accusing Rosenstein of acting erratically were actual witnesses to his actions.pic.twitter.com/XIajdwA08S

      So the NYT makes a headline out of descriptions "several" (which is, like, 2) people who only know the events thirdhand say, and then bury what Rosenstein and an actual witness say.

          Say, NYT, rather than treating thirdhand gossip as more reliable than actual witnesses, why not try to understand the scope of POTUS' Russia declassification order?

          Unfortunately I agree with Marcy and Sarah kendzior that they are. This is a dangerous article from an organization that still over values access journalism and will pay for it.

          This BS suggests the @nytimes is once again recklessly scandal-mongering for profit. In these perilous times-the story is akin to mindlessly bloviating “Churchill Insults Hitler!” in the run-up to WWII. It sells papers but it doesn’t wear well, historically. #SaveRosenstein

          We don’t need “responsible” journalism. What does that even mean? We need a partisan press that allows us to assume they aren’t being spun by people we hate.

          He quoted Rosenstein assuming Kelly & Sessions would be all-in for the 25th Amendment. They’re targeted too?
