The catastrophic and failing liberal media has been going out of their way to be hypercritical of President Trump, even making up lies to fit their narrative bias and manipulate their liberal readers.
In the early days of Trump’s presidency, a Time reporter accused him of removing the Martin Luther King, Jr. bust – that had been there for many years – out of the Oval Office. But in reality, a Secret Service agent was obstructing his view.
And fake newsmaker, the New York Times, was just caught in an even more egregious lie — and the New England Patriots fired back and shut them down with one tweet.
The New York Post reports:
“On a day reserved for celebration, the Patriots’ official account picked an odd fight with the New York Times over this year’s turnout at the post-Super Bowl White House ceremony.
The Patriots, who have several high-profile connections to President Donald Trump, responded pointedly Wednesday night to a tweet the Times circulated earlier in the afternoon, which featured a split-image of Patriots players celebrating their 2015 Super Bowl victory with Barack Obama and those celebrating this year’s championship with Trump.
The 2015 shot shows far more people standing behind Obama on the White House stage and flanking staircases.”
The New York Times’ tweet of the Obama/Trump “comparable” pictures:

Of course, these pictures went viral and were shared all over social media before they were shut down as being taken out of context.
The New England Patriots fired back later in the day:
These photos lack context. Facts: In 2015, over 40 football staff were on the stairs. In 2017, they were seated on the South Lawn. https://t.co/iIYtV0hR6Y

So it’s either a massive oversight by the NYT, or they lied intentionally and didn’t care about the consequences.
They even tried to defend the fake news tweet like a child caught in a lie.
The New York Post continued:
“The Times’ article on the Patriots’ visit, which the newspaper linked to in its tweet, quotes a Patriots’ spokesman who claims the number of team members present for each trip was ‘roughly the same.’ As clarified by the spokesman — and reiterated in the Patriots’ tweet — some photos of the annual ceremonies don’t feature the team’s support staff on the stairs, including this year’s.
Likely blindsided by the Patriots’ reply, the Times tweeted a more comprehensive message on the crowd size. Though this year’s extended team turnout may have been on par with that of 2015, 34 players made the trip to Trump’s White House versus 50 to Obama’s two years ago.”
But the Patriots fired back once again with actual comparable pictures:

It’s an open and shut case. The reason why the liberal media is failing so miserably is because they are looking to be hypercritical, and they’re getting their hands caught in the cookie jar like a child would.
