    I'll read it, but the NYtimes already got their asses handed to them on a fake tabloid story about Trump before. And... Their pundits on CNN, Fox and MSNBC made it perfectly clear they do not like Trump, nor plan on ever pushing positive press about him. Just FYI

    “People underestimated Donald Trump’s ability to pillage the company,”

    All you've got to do is change company to country, Mags, and you've got your vision of the future.

    The thing about you Trump supporters is you justify whatever Trump does or says through the premise of "The news hates him" or "The news is overreacting"

    "pillaging"

    It's rather funny reading a sad tale about Trump pillaging the Casinos of Atlantic City. Taking Harrah's for ride! Sounds pretty hard but I guess he did it.

    Really?

    "Harrah’s agreed to provide Mr. Trump, who did not put any additional money into the deal, with $220 million in financing to build the project, to pay him a $24 million construction management fee and to give him half the profits."

    "The following year, Harrah’s scuttled its partnership with Mr. Trump and sold him its stake in Trump Plaza for more than $220 million."

    Seems like some sort of ride.

    Seems like Steve Young got a ride with Trump and some football league about this time. 40 million or so for Young?

    Um, well even the liberal media actually called out the NY Times for their blatant hit pieces on Trump. Sorry, fail...

    Also, WAPO hired 20 reporters to investigate only on Trump. Guess how many are assigned to Hillary? 2... So come again???

    You do realize that the NY Times is only one news source right?

    One news source is trying to hurt Trump's image and one is investigating him more than Hilary. Okay, wow! ... You're using these very specific instances to try to justify the common Trump supporter claims that the bad press he gets from almost every major news source is because the news has it out for him. You Trump supporters deflect away the truth, which is that they're simply reporting the shit he says, and it's bad press because the shit he says is racist, sexist, stupid as hell, and insane. We're talking about media as a whole here. Analogy: If there's 100 apples on an apple tree, and you comb through the whole tree and find 2 that are bad, that doesn't mean all the apples are bad.

    You're a common Trump supporter. Likely, you're really easy to argue with because it's easy to apply basic logic against the skewed viewpoints you have, but you're also really hard to argue with because you don't see the logic

    which is exactly why you support Trump...

    Not just nytimes. CNN is a 24/7 trump hate fest. I think trump is going to have to weather a withering massive attack by the media if he's going to win.

    See SPDs recent thread, citing a propaganda piece that suggests everyone should dump trump, vote Hiliar, because a handful of republicans don't like him. It's old news spun as new news. The stop trump movement among republicans like Krystol was going on when Rubio was still in the race.'

    The stories about trump facing an impossible task to overcome electoral college slam dunk for Hiliar.

    Yet Pennsylvania is one of those states they're counting as a slam dunk for Hiliar.

    Yes, I am fully aware they are. But since the initial post I made, referring to the OG thread "New York Times," my argument is completely valid.

    I get it buddy... You dislike Trump. I don't mind that you have opposing views. But if you want to pawn the liberal media isn't out to get Trump, I got an igloo to sell you in Arizona. It's got 2 bedrooms yo!

    You, on the other hand, are a 24/7 hillary hate fest. So I'm not sure you can really throw stones.

    It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

    That 88gb is supposed to be all of Hiliar's emails, clearly obtained by a hack that never happened.
