FAILING NYT! Leavitt Unloads on Times Reporter for ‘Unequivocally False’ Trump Story [WATCH]

Say — aren’t these the guys who thought Biden was sharp?

During Monday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shredded New York Times reporter Katie Rogers for an “unequivocally false” story about President Trump’s stamina and health.

Trump objected last week to a report co-authored by Rogers, the Times’ White House correspondent, headlined, “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office.”

“I think it goes to our original promise on day one to hold the media accountable because, unfortunately, and we deal with this all day, every day around here, there are so many fake stories that are unfortunately written, that have inaccurate characterizations of meetings that took place,” Leavitt said.

Leavitt thanked reporters who make an effort to get the facts correct but said she is regularly overwhelmed by the “fake news” that flows from the White House.

“I will point out one fake news story over the weekend before I let you all go from The New York Times, that took about one-third of the president’s daily calendar and his daily schedule and said that he’s doing less than he did in his first term, or he might not be fit for the job,” Leavitt said.

“That is unequivocally false, and it’s deeply unfortunate that the story was written by the same outlet and the same reporter who wrote this: ‘Biden is doing 100% fine after tripping while boarding Air Force One,’” Leavitt continued, holding up a story Rogers penned in 2021.

“Oh, same outlet, same reporter who wrote that President Trump is not fit for the job. Are you kidding me? You all see him almost every single day. He is the most accessible president in history. He is taking meetings around the clock,” she said.

“Another one, ‘Biden declared healthy and vigorous after his first presidential physical,” Leavitt said, holding up another Times article. “I don’t see headlines like that too often about this president.”

The New York Times defended Rogers and the rest of their White House team in a comment to Fox News Digital.

“The Times’s White House team, including Katie Rogers, the same reporter Ms. Leavitt singled out today, have reported without fear or favor across multiple administrations from both parties. Katie’s reporting on President Biden was just as unflinching as it has been on President Trump, despite cherry-picked headlines attempting to prove something that simply isn’t true,” the spokesperson said.
