Yesterday's Narrative in the Mainstream Media

I wrote yesterday about the narrative of the day in the media, namely, the bogus charge the President Trump makes "racist" statements.  This was trotted out by the left wing media in preparation for the anniversary of Charlottesville.  Of course, in all the articles, there were no actual examples of anything that fits the description of racist.  One source actually claimed that Trump's comments on the NFL players' sitting during the national anthem was "racist" because the players are mostly black.

Since writing that post yesterday, I came across the article by the NY Times which was part of the coordinated campaign.  The Times charged that Trump uses "racially tinged" language in his statements.  That's actually pretty funny.  How is something "racially tinged"?  Either it is racist or not.  I mean if I quote a statement made 200 years ago by the Duke of Wellington, is it "racially tinged" because today there's a leader of the KKK named David Duke?  Even the Times, however, comes up with no racist language used by the President.

So, we have more nonsense from the Times.  It's important to note this because many people on the left argue that the Times has to be in a different category from the other mob of leftist media.  The truth is that it is no different.
