In the last few days we've learned from WikiLeaks that a New York Times reporter, John Harwood, who was a moderator at a 2015 Republican presidential debate--he was the jackal who asked Donald Trump at that debate if he was running "a comic book version of a presidential campaign"--was offering political advice to Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
And we've discovered that the Times gave Hillary Clinton veto control over her own quotes after an interview. And while she was writing for Politico, the Times' Maggie Haberman was the water-girl for the Clinton campaign.
The Old Gray Lady isn't just biased, it's rigging our democratic system by overstepping long established boundaries between the media and political candidates.
So why should we take seriously tonight's report that Donald Trump inappropriately touched two women, one 13 years ago, the other over three decades ago. Rather, I have to ask if there were new reports of Bill Clinton, who unlike Trump has been accused of rape, sexually assaulting women, would they bother to pursue that story or just shrug it off as "old news."
Finally, it's fair to ask if these women were referred to the New York Times by the Hillary campaign, and if they weren't, did the Times tip off the campaign that this report about Trump was coming?
