The New York Times was the subject of a scathing critique by the Columbia Journalism Review over its coverage of the Russia probe that dominated the Trump years.
Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley weighs in after learning the FBI hired informant with ties to debunked dossier on 'Special Report.'
"Baquet, speaking to his colleagues in a town hall meeting soon after the testimony concluded, acknowledged the Times had been caught ‘a little tiny bit flat-footed’ by the outcome of Mueller’s investigation," wrote Jeff Gerth, the investigative reporter who authored the lengthy CJR retrospective. The examination of the Times' questionable coverage began even before Trump was elected into office, highlighting a report from August 2016 claiming Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort allegedly accepted $13 million in cash payments from pro-Russia entities in Ukraine. While he didn't deny the ballpark figure he received, Manafort insisted"the cash angle was clearly wrong." But as Gerth noted, the Times"won a Pulitzer Prize for the work on Manafort.
NEW YORK TIMES STEALTH-EDITS REPORT ON HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY, SCRUBS ‘UNSUBSTANTIATED’ FOLLOWING BACKLASH The Times appeared to legitimize Christopher Steele, the ex-British spy who authored the infamous dossier, claiming he had"a credible track record" while Steele's so-called"primary" source was telling the FBI that Steele"misstated or exaggerated" in his report and that information stemming from Russia was"rumor and speculation."
While one former Times reporter admitted to Gerth"We should have run it," a spokesperson for the Times told him it reported on the Russiagate saga"thoroughly and in line with our editorial standards."
