Ohh, I didn't know this about Maggie Haberman -



@KaivanShroff

Dark irony to Maggie Haberman’s latest puff-piece about Ivanka and Jared is the doubling of nepotism in her own story. Her father has worked for NYTimes for over 4 decades. Her mother did Comms for both the Trumps & Kushners. Stunning the Times feels no need to make this clear.

That's how I knew of her overall tone of her writing.

A lot of people on Twitter have been calling her out for this.

Anyone who believes anything she writes about dump should beware

She is that bunch's insider and we all should pretend that she is neutral?

She is another Judith Miller

She comes on the TV, the TV goes off. Screw her

so she's got to keep them buttered up. She praised Conway on Twitter a couple months ago and I called her out on it. Is this good journalism? I don't think so. She reduced her tweeting time because she was getting attacked so much.

Pieces for Trunp and that how Trunp himself had to be a aspurce for some of what she was (wrongfully in the case of his net worth) “reporting”. He’d call on her often to refute his bad press, and she dutifully responds.

Dowd did many, many hatchet pieces on Hillary Clinton over lots of years. I remember seeing her interviewed once when she said it was nothing personal and she was just doing a job, but I don’t recall her writing such vicious pieces about any other woman.

she should join CBS, where her fluffery would be appreciated.

The Times is slipping into a journalistic craphole from which it may never be able to crawl out.

The other day she stated on Twitter that Trump was involved with the mob, as if she had made a bright shining discovery, and got all sorts of NSS responses.
