Trump, the Times

Full article above.

Reading this front page NY Times article up above made me start scratching my head.. is this a factual News Article that should be on the Front Page or is it an opinion piece.

Read the first few paragraphs... is this 'Fair Witness' News...

I've included two comments from NY Times readers that put things in a better perspective.



Donald Trump, Losing Ground, Tries to Blame the System

I'm no Trump fan but the system IS corrupt and broken. This article is so clearly biased. The first paragraph is clearly "opinion" masquerading as fact: "he says x but actually y." Any casual observer - even the NYTimes in other articles - can see that the way the Republicans are wrangling behind the scenes is to steal the election from Trump. They hate Cruz and are using him as a prop. I'm no Paul Ryan fan either, but he was correct when he said that someone who gets elected for President should actually have run a campaign.

NYTimes, there are ways to cover Trump that don't actively 'support' him without just accusing him of whining about a corrupt system that is actually corrupt. For this article to be less biased you'd have to show both sides, which would include a discussion of how what the Republican establishment is doing is also rather duplicitous.

After the democratic debacle that occurred in Wyoming - Bernie Sanders winning by 12% but losing because of the delegate count - I have no faith in our voting system. It is rigged. While Trump would never have my vote, I have to agree that the system has failed us.
