    Stating a fact doesn't mean people have not gotten over it. It is just a fact. People have moved on. Doesn't change the fact though.

    That's not unique to the left. Newspapers of all persuasions write stories for people to read. If people don't read them- goodbye newspaper. Why is it such a big deal?
    Of course there was no source. It was anonymous. Although Fox News said that it was a White House official. Then Fox News must have been wrong, if it was NYT. This is the article quoted in the opening post of the thread.
    WH official pens anonymous NY Times op-ed calling Trump 'anti-democratic,' 'petty and ineffective'

    Trump has cited no evidence that the NYT is behind the article. It's only a guess, and not a good one at that. There have been a lot of guesses as to who wrote it.

    I wouldn't say 80% are left aligned. Just because a publication doesn't glowingly praise Trump, doesn't mean that they are left aligned. Many Republican-leaning publications opposed Trump leading up to the election. In October 2016 only six newspapers in the country endorsed him- that's unprecedented.

    Newspapers write articles which people want to read. If there are many newspapers writing articles which are not supportive of Trump, what does that indicate?

    Only.if they still control majority in both house and senate levels. There are still levels of safeguards to get through
