New York Times accused of 'sanewashing' Trump post with report on dumping 'brown liquid'

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-nyt-sanewashing-brown-liquid/

Donald Trump posted an AI video in which "King Trump" can be seen dumping feces from a fighter jet onto protesters, but the New York Times is catching flak for its coverage of the post.

The president shocked political analysts and experts with an AI video he posted this weekend. Trump late Saturday night dropped a new Artificial Intelligence video in which "King Trump" is shown flying a jet in a crown and dumping feces on "No Kings" protesters, leading some to call into question his sanity.

Now, the Times is being criticized for its portrayal of the video.

In an article called, "Trump Posts Fake Video of Himself Flying a ‘King Trump’ Jet Over Protesters," the Times argued, "President Trump shared what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media. It shows Mr. Trump wearing a crown and flying a jet that dumps brown liquid on demonstrators."
