The Fourth Estate Flounders...

The NYT, which ran a recent editorial explaining that the Charles Manson family's crimes were a harbinger of the Trump era, this morning calls out the president for not acknowledging fast enough for their tastes the ongoing search and recovery efforts being conducted by the U.S. Navy after a crash. But the story notes the president's press secretary did so:

Mr. Trump had a burst of seven tweets and retweets on various topics on Wednesday morning. None of his posts mentioned the United States Navy aircraft that crashed outside of Okinawa, Japan, carrying 11 crew and passengers. Eight aboard were rescued and American and Japanese naval forces were searching for the other three. It was the fifth accident this year for the Navy’s largest overseas fleet, the Seventh Fleet.

The White House spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, shared the Navy’s Twitter post from two hours earlier about the rescue operation describing the efforts and noting that the eight rescued were in good condition.

#BREAKING UPDATE: Eight personnel recovered following C2-A Greyhound crash and transferred to #USSRonaldReagan for medical eval. In good condition. Search and rescue for three personnel continues. More to follow.

And soon enough, the president too followed up, noting the three military personnel remain unaccounted for:

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
Retweeted U.S. Navy
The @USNavy is conducting search and rescue following aircraft crash. We are monitoring the situation. Prayers for all involved.

Will the Times update and correct their online story?  The modern American media makes themselves look small, at best, by trying to catch the president in a "gotcha!" moment, implying that he is not sending his thoughts out quickly enough via Twitter.  They also slammed him for again addressing the NFL players who refuse to honor our national anthem and the league that seemingly supports this; and for calling out the ungrateful father who publicly took on the president after his son got special presidential treatment being released from jail in China, where he was charged with shoplifting.

At worst, the modern media appears to be rooting against our country...  Sad!

ADDED:  The original NYT story quoted above has been updated now, but without the "Correction" or  "Update" tag appended on the end, which is traditionally used in the media to indicate a story has been altered after publication.  (Very sad!)

Mr. Trump tweeted and retweeted about a variety of topics early on Wednesday morning, but it was not until 8 a.m. [EST] that the president posted about the United States Navy aircraft that crashed outside of Okinawa, Japan, carrying 11 crew and passengers. Eight aboard were rescued and American and Japanese naval forces were searching for the other three. It was the fifth accident this year for the Navy’s largest overseas fleet, the Seventh Fleet.

Mr. Trump has been briefed on the crash and posted on Twitter that he was monitoring the situation.

The media looks even smaller now, choosing to highlight the story of the ballplayer's father's gripes, while using the military crash to try and score cheap points against the president. Our country deserves better...

(Linking the Manson murders with Trump supporters, in a nod to an upcoming Race War, was truly a new low for our liberal media.  Does the media think no one is monitoring their work too?  God help them.  We Americans are better than that.)
