NYT MAJORLY Misses The Mark In George H.W. Bush ‘Tribute’

The AP isn’t the only news outlet missing the mark…

George H.W. Bush, a patrician New Englander whose presidency soared with the coalition victory over Iraq in Kuwait, but then plummeted in the throes of a weak economy that led voters to turn him out of office after a single term, has died. He was 94. https://t.co/LaSU5ho2os pic.twitter.com/ld9KqRHdaU

…NYT is right there next to ’em. They decided to pump out old #FakeNews.

The ⁦@nytimes⁩ should be ashamed of itself reviving this canard the morning after he died. pic.twitter.com/elMQYw7tY6

The @NYTimes obituary for @GeorgeHWBush revives a 1992 media campaign smear that has been long debunked as Fake News. Shameful.

The "reporter" who wrote the story wasn't even present. Second-hand information. But Pinch Sulzberger never let truth get in the way of a good story.

Utterly pretentious and petty, the @nytimes https://t.co/mjGtfEF26W

The best part is that by "his critics" they mean… the New York Times

#FakeNews. It’s what they do best. At least they’re staying consistent.
