Quid pro nothing: Trump accusers don’t care about the facts
By Post Editorial BoardOctober 17, 2019 | 8:00pm

Everyone who already thought the case for President Trump’s impeachment was a slam-dunk went berserk Thursday, claiming that acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney had just admitted to a quid pro quo with Ukraine.

Except that what Mulvaney “admitted” is that the administration was doing what it should — pushing a foreign government to cooperate in getting to the bottom of foreign interference in the 2016 campaign.

White House held up Ukraine aid because Trump wanted probe into DNC hacking: Mulvaney
Which it couldn’t be: Ukraine didn’t know about the holdup until weeks after President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call with Trump.


Virtually every media outlet in America — certainly all those that jumped on Mulvaney’s remarks — has spent most of the last three years painting such foreign interference as the blackest possible crime.

In fact, all Mulvaney did was repeat yet again that Trump “was worried about corruption with that nation” — and specifically say those worries extended to cooperation in “the look-back to what happened in 2016.”

Asked if Ukraine’s uncertainty about probing those matters was linked to the US holdup of military aid, he said “yes” — clarifying hours later that it wasn’t a quid pro quo.

1. I think you are confusing the Post with the Daily

which went out of business/print.

[PJMcK]

5. The Daily News did not go out of business

You are correct about the NY Daily News' front covers that attacked or mocked Trump.

But the paper is in business. Here's the link to their homepage:

Have a great weekend!

6. New York Post is crap. Always has been. nt

[Fozzledick]

9. No, it used to be one of the better newspapers.

It turned into crap when Rupert Murdoch bought it out, like everything he touches.

The poster appears to be confusing it with the Daily News, which used to be right-wing crap but has gotten much better recently.

14. Yeah used to be a good evening paper

Until it was ruined. That was early 80s wasn’t it? Long time ago.

8. You're probably thinking of the NY Daily News.

10. Yes, the Post is among the worst of the Murdoch rags...

On rare occasions, they may take a shot at Trump on their cover if he screws up more than usual, but they normally toe the Faux line on pretty much everything.

The Daily News, OTOH, is the local “liberal” tabloid, and they go after Trump with some regularity.

16. ooops. mixed them up

[ooky]

11. The NY Post is a right wing propaganda rag.

[UTUSN]

12. Aren't editorials separate from the covers and articles?

No doubt that MURDOCH/Newscorp is a wingnut thing, but there's the "opinion side" vs etc.
