Yes, decades. They've been running stories about him and his businesses since the 80s. He didn't just spring onto the scene and into the public consciousness from The Apprentice. He was known long before then.

He was a Democrat back then , are you in love with him ? Your obsession seems unhealthy
0 ups, 4y
He's flipped multiple times politically, that doesn't change the fact the NYP has supported and run favorable articles about him for decades, even when other media outlets were actually exposing his cons, etc.

Aside from the headline itself, the article is full of other harsh truths...

"You have tweeted that as long as Republicans have “courage,” they can overturn the results and give you four more years in office. In other words, you’re cheering for an undemocratic coup."

"You had every right to investigate the election. But let’s be clear: Those efforts have found nothing. To take just two examples: Your campaign paid $3 million for a recount in two Wisconsin counties, and you lost by 87 more votes. Georgia did two recounts of the state, each time affirming Biden’s win. These ballots were counted by hand, which alone debunks the claims of a Venezuelan vote-manipulating Kraken conspiracy."

"Sidney Powell is a crazy person. Michael Flynn suggesting martial law is tantamount to treason."

"Democrats will try to write you off as a one-term aberration and, frankly, you’re helping them do it. The King Lear of Mar-a-Lago, ranting about the corruption of the world."

All I'm hearing is "Give up so we can destroy this country a few days earlier!"
May he live to be 100 and never shut his mouth.

When almost everything out his mouth for 4 decades has been a distortion/fabrication of the truth or blatant lie - which the Washington Post starting documenting into a searchable database beginning January 20, 2017 - and as of October 22, 2020 contained 26,548 of such, he needs to finally be silenced.

Initially no media outlet would every call them blatant lies. They used euphemisms for the first couple of years or so declaring them to be distortions of facts and/or fabrications until such time as they could no longer be excused as such and starting calling them out for what they actually were....deliberate LIES. Do your f***ing homework!

When you call truth lies and lies truth the heat death of the universe will happen before one of us believe the other.

You're the ones who have been calling truth lies and lies truth.

Unlike you, I know how to differentiate fact from fiction because I've always placed a higher value on the principles on honesty, truth and integrity above every other consideration, including career advancement, financial gains and/or political affliliations and expedience. In other words, some of us in the legal profession are actually incorruptible, which apparently is something you seem to have a hard time fathoming.

Not suprised you're attempting to ridicule the WP as it's mostly read by highly educated individuals, not those susceptible to blindly follow political propaganda. FYI... the WP is also the news publication that exposed Nixon, et als, coruptions and brought down his presidency.

Worthless propaganda since the '70's , all the "Woke" people read it .

Nope, people that have been educated to use their critical thinking skills rather than magical thinking tend to read it. That's not to say that the WP doesn't at times engage in propaganda too. All media outlets do it - both left and right leaning - but unlike Fox, Newsmax, OAN, they don't blatantly lie about info they publish. Their MO is more subtle and tends more towards suppression of certain facts rather that stating obvious lies that can easily be fact checked.

The Washington Post invented biased Media . They answer to one Master , the Big Corporations

The Washington Post didn't invent media bias. It's existed since the dawn of the printing press. The following excerpt is from 'The New Republic" written in 1883 by E. J. Schellhous.

"The power of the press is everywhere acknowledged. If devoted to the interests and welfare of the hole, its power for good is immeasurable; and no less the evil if given to the service of corporate power and associated capital in the hands of the few.
... the press caters to selfish interests, and is effectually controlled in the interests of the oligarchy, to monopolize the intelligence of the country and shape it so as to control public sentiment. We offer the following, copied from an Eastern paper, which will explain itself:

The real truth concerning the capitalistic press of America was uttered by a prominent New York journalist at a press dinner a short time since. The reunion on that occasion was of men who write and do the real work on the papers - the drudges. When the hackneyed and ridiculous toast, 'The Independent Press,' was proposed, the journalist referred to, being called on to respond, said he did not wish to do so, but the company insisted upon it with loud acclamations. He finally arose and said:

''There is no such a thing in America as an independent press, unless it is out in country towns, You are all slaves. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to express an honest opinion. If you expressed it, you would know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid $150 for keeping honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things. If I should allow honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my paper, I would be
like Othello before twenty-four hours: my occupation would be gone.

The man who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the street hunting for another job. The business of a New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to villify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same his salary. You know this, and I know it; and what foolery to be toasting an ''Independent Press"!

We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the string and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, are all the property of other men. We are intellectal prostitues."
