The New York Times contradicted their 20 January 2017 report about wire tapping in an article entitled "Trump, Offering No Evidence, Says Obama Tapped His Phones."

RATING



ORIGIN

In March 2017, several web outlets circulated an image purportedly showing the front page of the 20 January 2017 print edition of the New York Times along with accusations that the newspaper’s reporting on President Trump’s claims that former President Obama had ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower phones had been contradictory:

The front page of The New York Times way back on January 20, 2017… “Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides”

But Two months later they are trashing their own reports!

Now the NY Times is reporting there is no evidence of a wiretap.

No wonder nobody trusts them!

The image is of the Times‘ front page and its “Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides” is real. It’s also true that the New York Times reported .. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/04/us/politics/trump-obama-tap-phones.html .. about two months later that President Trump had offered no evidence to back up his claim that the Obama administration had tapped his phones. However, these two articles are not contradictory

In order for the New York Times 4 March 2017 report (“Trump, Offering No Evidence, Says Obama Tapped His Phones”) to contradict the newspaper’s 20 January 2017 report (“Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides”), the paper would have had to have provided evidence (or at least asserted) that the earlier article was based on an Obama administration wiretap of Trump’s phones. This, of course, was not the case.

Although the Janaury article did use the words “wiretapped” and “Trump” in its title, it did not state that Trump Tower telephones were specifically targeted by a wiretap initiated by the Obama administration. Rather, the article stated that intelligence agencies were monitoring Russian officials, and that some of the conversations they intercepted in the course of their investigations may have also involved Trump aides:
