Twitter users called out the New York Times for tweeting out a biased characterization of Wisconsin Senate race candidates Mandela Barnes and Ron Johnson.
Journalist and former GOP House candidate Matthew Foldi called it a"mask off moment" for the paper.
"This one sided editorializing by NYT is…insane and unprofessional, but also totally expected," he remarked. "The New York Times is a leading peddler of misinformation," quipped NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham. NewsBusters analyst Alex Christy asked,"I don't know why nobody trusts the media. Anybody got any theories?"
RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway simply reacted to the Times tweet with,"Clowns." Investigative Researcher for the Capital Research Center, Parker Thayer, couldn't believe it was real:"This is a joke right? I mean I know media is always going to have some bias, but look at this chyron…. geez…" He added,"@nytimes do better."The paper has often been called out for showing political bias in its tweets.
