Former NY Times editor rips Trump coverage as biased

Former NY Times editor rips Trump coverage as biased - Fox News

A former executive editor of the New York Times says the paper's news pages, the home of its straight-news coverage, have become "unmistakably anti-Trump."

Jill Abramson, the veteran journalist who led the newspaper from 2011 to 2014, says the Times has a financial incentive to bash the president and that the imbalance is helping to erode its credibility.

In a soon-to-be published book, "Merchants of Truth," that casts a skeptical eye on the news business, Abramson defends the Times in some ways but offers some harsh words for her successor, Dean Baquet. And Abramson, who was the paper's only female executive editor until her firing, invoked Steve Bannon's slam that in the Trump era the mainstream media have become the "opposition party."

- Father, thank You for this truth revealed. We pray that the entire news media would be brought to their knees in repentance. We pray that the citizens of this nation would align with their duly-elected president against the accusations and innuendo that have been hurled at him

The liberal bias of the members of the media has no place in their reporting of the news. May those in journalism be mindful of their high estate and may they live up to the honored tradition of objective, fair reporting of the news.
