Investigative Report and News Analysis: Like Fox News, the NY Times lacks credibility for providing accurate political news

By: Christopher C. Alberto and Daniel C. Alberto

The majority of Democratic Primary voters in New Hampshire were not fooled by the NYTimes’ intellectually dishonest endorsement last week and many voters nationwide are not fooled by the NYTimes’ transparent attempt to soften Bernie Sanders’ trouncing of Hillary “Wall Street” Clinton by asserting the NH primary results were only a drop in the political bucket. See NYTimes editorial entitled “The Clinton Team’s New Hampshire Pressure Test, Feb. 9, 2016. To be sure, over the last 12 months the NYTimes has become the Clinton campaign’s public relations department unethically spinning all its political articles for Clinton. Like Fox News, the NYTimes lacks credibility for providing accurate political news and information.

What’s behind the NYTimes’ support for Hillary? In Jan 2015, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim became the NYTimes largest shareholder and thus the Editorial Board’s boss. Months before, on or about Sept 1, 2014, Clinton flew down to Mexico to sell herself to Mr. Slim. See Bloomberg business press Sept 3, 2014. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Slim contributed millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation. In August 2015 the Clintons attempted to conceal the total amount of his contributions. Unknown is the amount of money Mr. Slim contributed to Super Pacs supporting Clinton’s campaign, but you can be almost certain Mr. Slim is working hard to ensure that Hillary “Wall Street” Clinton captures the White House. After all, he has made a sizable investment in Clinton’s run for the White House.
