Case in point: a recent White House background briefing was the subject of much debate when the New York Times reported that President Trump was at odds with is own advisors on the subject of whether or not the recently-canceled North Korea summit might take place in the future.
The background is this: the media had been beating the drum for weeks that said Trump WOULD NEVER walk away from that summit, no matter what North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said or did because Trump is such a megalomaniac that he NEEDED the win.
You put a reckless person in office, the New York Times et al said, shaming us all and calling Trump a dangerous narcissist.
The New York Times and all the other outlets, as Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist reports, had to scramble and double-d0wn and - I'll say it - concoct a new negative spin to the story because Trump, as it turns out, proved them wrong.
The media outlets didn't acknowledge their previous analytical missteps so much as come up with new lines of attack on Trump.
Mark Landler and David Sanger of The New York Timeswrote an article arguing there were deep divisions between Trump and his advisors.
Yet the New York Times somehow missed that this was the main point the adviser was trying to make, and reported that Trump had lost control of his staff.
