Anything about Russia and Putin is red meat for Times criticism. Facts, fairness and responsible journalism are swept aside in its relentless spewing of anti-Russia/Putin venom. Russia’s leader values mutual cooperation with all his counterparts. Not according to Times disinformation, claiming “the Kremlin is betting that Mr. Putin can stage-manage the event so that he comes out looking like the stronger party.”
The Times: “There is some speculation that Mr. Trump may be glibly walking into a trap where he will be played by the Russian leader.”
The Times: “Some in (America and) the West view Mr. Putin with new distrust given the sense that Russia has abandoned cooperation in favor of actively working to undermine Western alliances and open, democratic systems.”
No evidence of Russian involvement in hacking America’s election, its power grid, anything else in the country or anywhere else exists. Accusations without credible proof are baseless - Russia the favorite target for malicious finger-pointing.
The NYTimes has become a shameless, repugnant lying sheet. Consider this nugget: “Some in (America and) the West view Mr. Putin with new distrust given the sense that Russia has abandoned cooperation in favor of actively working to undermine Western alliances and open, democratic systems.”

Does fairness matter? If so, then we will note that much of the media marketed to liberals (MSNBC, some of tyhe leading online publications, etc.) have been in the front of the pack when it comes to the anti-Russian campaign. Within a week of the election, their headlines jumped from the predictable “Trump stole the election!” to the inexplicable “Russia stole the election!” The more that people point out the absence of anything to support that claim, they more they double-down on reciting it — utterly unconcerned about the potential co0nsequences.
