But no, they refused.
This is the latest in a long list of atrocities the New York Times has done to Hillary Clinton and it proves that they are not the liberal media, if such a thing ever existed in the first place. This is what she said:
The 2-year frenzy over the emails was a political Rorschach test where everyone saw something different in what was ultimately nothing. Call it sexism, Republican depravity, ratings-hungry media, its time we acknowledge it was bullshit, and write that into the history books. Hillary Clinton
The New York Times is hot garbage and heres why:
Back in 2016, their reporter Maggie Haberman amplified the Hillary Clinton conspiracy which Trump campaigned on. I and many other conservatives who supported Trump (including others like me who learned this was a mistake) did our best to get this to the masses to say Hillary Clinton was an irresponsible leader and unfit to be President. At the time I was spreading this lie, I didnt know it was a lie, and the fact that the Times writer amplified it, even more, made us believe we were right and this possibly persuaded undecided electoral voters to pick Trump. Little did I know that I would eventually learn that Hillary Clinton was exonerated of any wrongdoing, and I apologized for my part in spreading this lie.
After learning about how the email scandal was a conspiracy, you would think that the NY Times would get it together, right? Nope, things just got worse. We just found out in Maggie Habermans recently published book that Trump reportedly flushed unclassified government documents down the toilet. The destruction of government property is a crime, as well as illegally obtaining classified documents.
Whats truly disappointing is that we didnt know this important information until over a year after the 2020 presidential election. We are talking about a story comparable to the single most damaging story of the 2016 election about a Democratic candidate, but when a Republican president does the same the Times ignores it, even with the same supposedly objective writer on the beat. Even worse, the buried story is a standalone moneymaking deal for the reporter who pushed the nothing-burger Clinton story. Trumps reckless behavior proves him to be incompetent and criminal, and more is leaking out daily about his fight to keep the peoples records in his tiny, private hands.

(64,920 posts)It was a real WTF moment for me. She was a longtime family insider with the trump family and was nothing more than a stenographer.
Maureen Dowd on the other hand, was a bomb thrower at Al Gore and other Democratic politicians.

The NYT is Shit.. they can't handle the truth.
Martin Eden
(12,803 posts)Hillary's emails and TLG's illegal taking & handling of classified documents then refusing to relinquish all of them after months of requests is not remotely the **same**
Pinback
(12,134 posts)1. Using a private email server and not committing any crimes.
2. Stealing classified U.S. government property.
I dunno, I kind of think one of these things is not like the other, but maybe its just me.
Even when theyre trying to do the right thing, many Republicans are unable to see things as they really are.
Martin Eden
(12,803 posts)The NYT, on the other hand, has done much worse.
Back in 2002 they jumped on the Iraq WMD bsndwagon, with Judith Miller helping to spread the warmongering lies being spewed by the GWB administration.

(20,882 posts)There is nothing liberal about the newspaper. Its hilarious the right calls NYT a liberal rag when it is still in the bag for TFG even today because writing about him produces clicks.
scarletlib
(3,400 posts)It will never be anything less than conservative on financial & monetary issues because of this.
It is more liberal on social issues & has some good columnists worth reading. I do not subscribe to it.

(25,128 posts)she was paid the standard fee for speeches at Goldman Sachs were bullshit. Can't be both. Shame on those who repeated it because they knew it was bullshit (not talking about Republicans).

(4,412 posts)They are the media part of the MIC. They have never seen a proposed war they didnt like, or a candidate that was likely to start a war. And they will lie their asses off to maximize the likelihood of increased arms sales.
Just last year, Joe Biden was pilloried by the Times for pulling the US out of Afghanistan. According to them it was evidence of possibly dangerous incompetence. Of course, that was a lie. The MIC was angry about lost sales.
Fast forward to early this summer when Biden pumped up aid to Ukraine, mostly in the form of weapons sales. Suddenly, the Times found him to be very presidential, maybe even one of the best Presidents.
This behavior goes back decades. 2016, 2004, 2002 and further. They refuse to publish anything that suggests they might be guilty of such behavior. Their refusal to publish Clintons remarks is exactly on-brand for them.

(3,949 posts)scandals involving reporters they've had over the last 20 years or so. Hard to get a worse and more biased reporter than Judith "Willing Neo-con Tool" Miller. I'm surprised she wasn't a signatory on the PNAC documents.
OMGWTF

(3,949 posts)and to watch those people all slither away from accountability is sickening. People mostly don't even talk about it anymore. Certainly not the media types. Millions of deaths and trillions of dollars.

Botany
(70,291 posts)For months, when advisers or friends gently suggested she say she was sorry for using a private email address and server while at the State Department, Mrs. Clinton replied that her actions had been within the law and that political opponents and journalists were manufacturing the controversy. Apologizing, she argued, would only legitimize it.
On Tuesday, she relented. In an interview with ABC News, Mrs. Clinton said using a private email had been a mistake, adding: Im sorry about that.
The tortured path to what some of Mrs. Clintons supporters saw as an overdue and essential step is the story of a presidential campaign in flux, adapting to unanticipated challenges it was not entirely prepared to handle and of a candidate whose instincts, over a tumultuous lifetime in politics, have repeatedly guided her toward digging in, not giving in, when under attack.

(80,699 posts)With everything the NY Times has done to Hillary Clinton, they could have at least published her recent comment, the one they themselves requested, in a story about the irresponsible and disgusting way the former president handled government documents.
But no, they refused.
This is the latest in a long list of atrocities the New York Times has done to Hillary Clinton and it proves that they are not the liberal media, if such a thing ever existed in the first place. This is what she said:

And as for the NYTimes owing her an apology?
FUCKIN-A THEY DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(9,946 posts)"For more than twenty years, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has been attacking Hillary Clinton from a shallow well of insults...Dowd has repeatedly accused Clinton of being an enemy to or betraying feminism (35 columns, 18 percent of those studied), power-hungry (51 columns, 26 percent), unlikeable (9 columns, 5 percent), or phony (34 columns, 17 percent). Shes also attacked the Clintons as a couple in 43 columns (22 percent), many of which included Dowds ham-handed attempts at psychoanalysis."

He fed them a steaming stinking plate full of lies and the NYT ate them up like a black hole eats reality.
Liberal media my old wrinkly ass.

buried it in the middle of the paper in a very short blurb.
lees1975
(3,718 posts)investigative attention that Clinton's emails were given.
Trump was doing way more than Clinton ever did when it came to his emails, tweets and communication of classified information, making him an even bigger hypocrite than he already was.
And he's still walking around free, making announcements that he 's running for President again, and his cronies who helped him out are laughing at the possibility that there might be consequences for their actions.
This is where we are now.
