Trump's campaign is not confident about re-election!

Or at least that is the words that the New York Times is going to put into the Trump campaign's mouth, despite the fact that there isn't a single person in the Trump campaign that actually said anything even remotely like that.

In a typical NYT op-ed with zero information to actually back up what the headline says, they take a quote from someone that actually works for the campaign that shows exactly zero pessimism, then spend hundreds of words spinning a yarn in a completely disingenuous way to make the final result precisely the opposite of what the official actually said. It's embarrassing to look at actually.

This poor reporting comes from one of the usual suspects who is most commonly associated with completely partisan "reporting" that caters only to one side of the political spectrum: The terrible article is entitled Trump Campaign Looks at Electoral Map and Doesn’t Like What It Sees.

Here's how you do fake news folks: You write a clickbait headline, then you choose a completely unrelated to the story image that encapsulates the emotion you want the overall story to portray - in this case a cherry-picked photo of Trump looking dejected at a NASA speech, then you speculate speculate speculate until you reach a conclusion in your article.

The fact that none of "on the record" quotes actually support the argument that your entire article is about doesn't matter: Very few people are actually going to make it past the headline anyway and your diminishing returns newspaper is only read by people that already agree with you anyway so integrity and actual information isn't necessary.

“Our internal data consistently shows the president running strong against a defined Joe Biden in all of our key states,”

Is one of the quotes that NYT uses to suggest that the campaign is concerned about losing. How in the world does this translate to the Trump campaign "not liking what they see when they look at the electoral college map?" A rational person would say "it doesn't" but that doesn't stop the NYT from saying exactly that.

The author of this trash article is Alexander Burns

and he also contributes to CNN as a political correspondent and I am certain those are always very unbiased round-table discussions. You can see how completely one-sided all of his articles are by looking at how he hates conservatives and licks the boots of liberals by looking at his recent articles here there is an o' so easy to identify theme going on there.

When the President talks about how the news is fake, and then you see things like this time and time again, it takes a certain amount of blindness to not at least somewhat identify with the Don. There is exactly zero information in this A. Burns article and it is a load of shite.

I rank it as "dumb" because it isn't even a story. It takes a couple quotes from people involved in the Trump campaign and then comes to the opposite conclusion of what those people actually said because that is what Burns, and the people that bother to read his drivel, so desperately want to be true. The fact that it isn't true, doesn't seem to matter to them.
