‘Alarming but not unexpected’: NYT lawsuit is Trump tactic to undermine media | New York Times
AS Newsrooms learned that President Trump filed a multipillion lawsuit against a major output to provoke his disdain-this time the New York Times-Median executives were surprised by their long-term purposes to redistribute the law.
Different theories are abundant on the strategy, from creating a creepy effect on the media, to feeding a mainstream media sensation among its strongest supporters. However, a definite result is that the tactic remains here.
“I do not think this is the end of this treatment of the media,” he said. “We will see more.”
The fourth billions of lawsuits filed against separate media companies since he returned to the task – some executives mentioned the possibility of exhibiting some kind of United Front and the possibility of solidarity against Trump’s tactics.
The idea acknowledges that the media as a whole is faced with an unprecedented pressure of a happy president to raise the rules of how someone in his office cope with media criticism.
He sweeps the allegations of lawsuit against the New York Times in Florida and sometimes in detail. Trump begins with the allegation that “the New York Times encounters permanent election intervention from the old media, which leads to the most famous way”. In particular, two New York Times continues to specify a book of journalists and three articles.
There are even passages that appear at home in a publicity broadcast rather than a court case for Trump’s television work. “The apprentice represented the cultural magnitude of the singular brightness of President Trump, who caught the zeitgeist of our time ,, one of the episode. The New York Times said that the case is not “value”.
Nevertheless, such cases are seen as a presidential law designed by many people to have a creepy effect on reporting and act as a warning to the owners of media companies operating under pressure.
“The case against NYT is not unexpectedly, although not unexpectedly, is an increasing rise,” New York City University (CUNY) Joel Simon, Director of Journalism Protection attempt. “
“Since the promise of Trump’s election and the promise of searching for ordeal against the perceived enemies, I have met and talked to many large and small leaders in news organizations throughout the country. Everyone spoke about the possibility of such legal action and everyone is trying to prepare as well as possible.
“I think we all understand and understand that there is a wider campaign to humiliate, scare and weaken the media as an independent and critical institution, and that there will be more legal action regardless of how this special case plays.”
At that time, he followed a similar action against 60 minutes settled by the owner Paramount, who tried to close a sensitive merger. ABC News was also sued – and the parent company Disney chose to settle again.
Meanwhile, under the ownership of Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos, Washington Post is accused of accusing Trump for the narrowing of his viewpoints and refusing Kamala Harris.
In addition to sufficient impact, legal teams are a tool for Trump that can now create content for a new podcast and Youtuber network that fills the Maga Media world.
“This is a binary strategy – one, one, to make a cow with the legal cases we have seen in many other parts of the world, to some extent,” he said. “The other is to jump them.
“This Baypas is done by continuing the podcasts of the impressive or sympathetic. This is a way to increase the clarity of your message while reducing its criticism.”
Trump’s legal tactics are changing beyond the news articles: Des Mines Register, and the interviewer Ann Selzer, was still legal, as he published a questionnaire before the election showing Harris ahead. Although the case itself is defined as weak, the potential creepy effect on the existence of independent data is clear.
While Trump can consider the case against ABC and 60 minutes as achievements, some cases may change when they really reach the courts. Trump’s Wall Street Journal and the Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch, late sex abuse Jeffrey Epstein, the decision to file a lawsuit against Ahrewd note report, is expected in court soon. He rejects that he is the author of the note.
This brings risks especially for the president himself, especially in terms of explaining the information about the case. No company has yet discovered how the president and advisors would react when there was more to lose in this process.
Both Murdoch and the New York Times have financial muscle and political stomach to see such cases.
