Major media outlets had already decided on the narrative of the whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump regarding his conversation with the Ukraine president. Now that the White House’s transcript has been released, these same outlets are cutting out important context in order to give a different, more negative, impression of the call.
The New York Times and The Washington Post each put sections of the transcript on their front pages on Thursday. Each paper cut out what Trump said after asking Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky for a “favor” and skipped ahead to a portion of the call when Trump brought up former Vice President Joe Biden’s son’s involvement in a company that was investigated by Ukraine.
