NY Times admits it sends stories to US government for approval before publication<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times casually acknowledged that it sends major scoops to the US government before publication, to make sure \u201cnational security officials\u201d have \u201cno concerns.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The New York Times has publicly acknowledged that it sends some of its stories to the US government for approval from \u201cnational security officials\u201d before publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This confirms what veteran New York Times correspondents like James Risen have said: The American newspaper of record regularly collaborates with the US government, suppressing reporting<\/a> that top officials don\u2019t want made public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 15, the Times reported that the US government is escalating its cyber attacks on Russia\u2019s power grid<\/a>. According to the article, \u201cthe Trump administration is using new authorities to deploy cybertools more aggressively,\u201d as part of a larger \u201cdigital Cold War between Washington and Moscow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the report, Donald Trump<\/a> attacked the Times on Twitter, calling the article \u201ca virtual act of Treason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times PR office replied to Trump from its official Twitter account, defending the story and noting that it had, in fact, been cleared with the US government before being printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccusing the press of treason is dangerous,\u201d the Times communications team said. \u201cWe described the article to the government before publication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs our story notes, President Trump\u2019s own national security officials said there were no concerns,\u201d the Times added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you believe that the Failing New York Times just did a story stating that the United States is substantially increasing Cyber Attacks on Russia. This is a virtual act of Treason by a once great paper so desperate for a story, any story, even if bad for our Country…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
