As we told you earlier, thanks to a Friday night news dump we learned that the Biden administration is paying former FBI personnel Peter Strzok and Lisa Page more than $2 million in a "settlement" -- and we use that word accompanied by exaggerated finger quotes:
The Justice Department settled a lawsuit on Friday with two former F.B.I. officials who had accused the Trump administration of violating their privacy by sharing their texts disparaging former President Donald J. Trump with the news media, according to court documents.
As part of the settlement, the government agreed to pay the former officials, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, concluding at least some of the litigation. The amount was not disclosed in court filings, but Mr. Strzok’s law firm said he received $1.2 million.
This is the Times' headline for the story: Justice Dept. Settles Lawsuit With Former FBI Officials Targeted by Trump
Seriously?
Byron York has a headline that would have been used if the Times wanted to be completely honest about what happened that led to all this:
Byron York (@ByronYork) ~ Wouldn’t this headline be more accurate if it said ‘Officials Who Targeted Trump’?
Yeah ... the undeniable truth was that Strzok and his mistress were targeting Trump, NOT the other way around. But, the facts don't jive with the Democrat narrative, so the propagandists at The New York Slimes feel the desperate need to lie.
That's a lot more accurate. But yes, unfortunately, being "accurate" isn't really a top priority of much of the media these days.
Burt Macklin (@BurtMaclin_FBI) ~ Yeah it seems their headline was backwards.
Just a little.
ONLY 180 degrees off, don'tcha know.
