Ornstein (The Atlantic) & Cohen (NYT) argue over NYT's coverage of Trump & Hillary (Tweet Storm)

[Native]

Interestingly, Ornstein is a conservative and he's criticizing the NYT because they're going after Hillary and giving Trump a pass.

and

Cohen trying to justify the New York Time's Clinton attacks by saying how important it is to cover "the blurred lines at the Foundation, the air of dynastic entitlement, the "no" to press conferences." Ugh.

1. Ornstein read him the riot act! So glad!

2. Saw this earlier

I really respect Ornstein as an old-school intellectual conservative. He's written many, many things critical of the modern GOP.

Cohen, IMO, comes off as a weasel in this encounter. These media people are so thin skinned.

3. Good for Ornstein and about damn time.

This idiotic obsession to appease the right will be the end of us all.

4. I am glad someone is taking on the NYT on this issue

Today the NYT has an article touting Trump's "ad of the week" and a fluff piecing promoting the idea that Johnson will be the hottest 3rd party candidate in 20 years. Do they have anything nice to say about Clinton? Hell no! But on Twitter they do mention that her lead has been cut in half post convention.

Edit: And the NYT has article about how Clinton is primarily hanging out with rich people and only occasionally campaigning.

5. So Cohen's excuse is that she won't hold a presser therefore

they are going to go after her? #ThatsNotJournalism.

And that bit about "dynastic entitlement" just reveals that they think being well known is reason enough to employ sleazy tactics.
