Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty, so he must be guilty. This is the canard repeated ad nauseam by the multitude of Flynn critics on social media and among so-called elite journalists.
The editorial board of The New York Times trumpeted this obtuse reasoning when it published the following headline: “Don’t Forget, Michael Flynn Pleaded Guilty. Twice.”
In a printed predicate to the editorial, the Times brags that its opinion journalists are “informed by expertise and research.” Is that so? Then why didn’t the Times bother to mention that roughly 20 percent of exonerated defendants in the U.S. have pleaded guilty?
The answer is quite simple. The New York Times is so animated by its own liberal bias that it is blind to such trivial matters as facts, truth, and innocence. Anyone associated with President Trump must be guilty of something, or so the Gray Lady would have its readers believe.
