But in conceding that the corporate media, in addition to intelligence agencies and the Democrat party, waged a war on Trump, the NYT writer has done more than any other journo or outlet that spread lies and misinformation about the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/18\/look-how-media-propagandists-covered-the-trump-russia-hoax-vs-the-bombshell-biden-laptop-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nonexistent collusion and \u201cpee tapes.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it\u2019s not enough.
