The New York Times doesn’t write headlines anymore – the mob does

The editor of the New York Times said an interesting thing the other day: He doesn’t do the front page.

“I don’t lay out the page. I don’t pick the front-page stories,” Dean Baquet, lead editor of the paper, told the Columbia Journalism Review after his paper changed a headline Monday night because reporting neutrally about President Trump for even five words isn’t allowed anymore.

I know some people who edit New York newspapers for a living and I’m pretty sure they not only write front-page headlines, they dream front-page headlines. The front-page headline is the face of the newspaper, whether it’s running in print or online. Granted, Baquet has a lot on his plate. But the front-page headline is the main course.

All major media and much of alternative media is controlled absolutely by intelligence agencies. It is all “programming” and always has been!
