The New York Times @nytimes.com

Lisa Cook said that she would not step down after President Trump announced he was firing her from the central bank’s Board of Governors. He cited allegations that she may have falsified records, but Cook has not been charged with wrongdoing or convicted of a crime. nyti.ms/3JF7wQl

In a move viewed by many as racist and authoritarian, President Trump seeks to illegally fire Lisa Cook. He also refuses to comment on his heavily bruised left hand or his recent mental lapses. Isn't that a more accurate headline? Why can't you do that?

Because they’d be sued. Ffs it just baffles me how people who’ve never worked in journalism think they know everything about reporting.

Oh no! They've never had to deal with that before. The New York times would have to hire lawyers and everything. Also, the framing of a headline is not the reporting. A journalist would know that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yor...

I mean, people can sue for anything, as Trump has shown. However, how would that suit succeed exactly? Also, lawsuits aren't journalism. Do you know anything about the law? It seems not.

Then fire Trump for falsifying records too. He’s actually been found guilty of that. The hypocrisy is just mind-blowing.

Trump is playing the race card. It seems so obvious now. Occupy Los Angeles (black mayor), occupy Washington DC (black mayor) threaten to occupy Chicago (black mayor), attempt to fire Fed Governor (black woman).

Wasn't Trump arguing all of 2024 that lying on a mortgage application is a victimless crime and since the banks didn't lose any money it shouldn't have standing in court.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL SAY IT! The closest the New York Times newsroom will come to telling readers the truth is to say that Trump is “promoting an aura of authoritarian nationalism,” or certain actions “increasingly remind scholars of the way authoritarian leaders in other countries” behave.
