Rowanne Brewer Lane, a former model who dated Trump in the 1990s, accused reporters Michael Barbaro and Megan Twohey of being "completely misleading" in their interview for the article. <br />http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/matthew-balan/2016/05/16/cnn-confronts-nyt-reporters-after-trumps-ex-rips-misleading-report<br /><br />I don't know if this helps Trump, but it sure hurts the New York Times. (Or, it ought to hurt them, if the public still has any standards.) It took many decades for the Times to build a reputation as our best, most reliable newspaper. I think they will keep that reputation, despite this kind of reporting, because their error unfairly hurt a Republican. A comparably inaccurate report of Hillary's experiences would hurt the Times' reputation more among their fellow media. Although, it's noteworthy that CNN had this interview blasting the Times for their bad report.David in Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222355423128534221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-80909051423841161652016-05-16T18:20:11.113-04:002016-05-16T18:20:11.113-04:00Article is about Trump.

I put up with a lot because I cared about him and because of the glamor of being around rich people, but the novelty wore off and eventually I got fed up with being treated like a possession, an appendage instead of a person.<br /><br />Trump likes women because they make him feel manly. He doesn't think of them as people and he doesn't like them for who they are. They are prizes he gets for winning. Ms. Lane's reaction to him is irrelevant when he clearly doesn't view her with respect.<br /><br />If I went to a party with no intention of swimming, I wouldn't like being pressured into it by the host.

Trump has made crude sexual remarks about his own daughter, about women he supposedly likes. That suggests that he thinks about women in those terms. When he insults Rubio, no one believes that he thinks about men in such terms -- he is clearly just trying to needle an opponent. Then there is the content of his insults toward his female competitors (and women like Megyn Kelly) compared to the type of remarks made about men. The comments about male competitors are based on their individual traits -- the ones about women are based on their looks, emerging straight out of stereotypes about women. That makes them sexist even though both sets of comments are derogatory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-7127230744746714172016-05-16T14:28:39.388-04:002016-05-16T14:28:39.388-04:00The Lugenpresse strikes again!

Trump has made crude remarks about women? Trump has made crude remarks about damn near everyone! That's literally what he's best known for. He's mocked his competitors throughout the campaign process on basis of physical attributes (he said he has had it "up to here" with Rand Paul, mocking his height, and he stood up on stage splashing a water bottle around to mock Rubio's sweating, just to take two examples off the top of my head).<br /><br />It's sad, and defeatist, that our side has devolved almost wholly into identity politics. Even if we avoid Trump, this is going to cost us plenty in the long term if we keep on this path.

Trump appeared upwards of two dozen times from the late ’90s through the 2000s with the shock jock, and BuzzFeed News has listened to hours of those conversations, which are not publically available. The most popular topic of conversation during these appearances, as is typical of Stern’s program, was sex. In particular, Trump frequently discussed women he had sex with, wanted to have sex with, or wouldn’t have sex with if given the opportunity. He also rated women on a 10-point scale.<br /><br />“A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10,” he told Stern in one typical exchange.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Trump has a history of making crude remarks toward women. He reportedly said of his ex-wife Marla Maples, “Nice tits, no brains,” and more recently, he has called Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly a “bimbo” and a “lightweight” and said she had “blood coming out of her wherever” during the first GOP debate."<br /><br />Given the many other examples, why would Barbaro do this? I think he may have intended to help Trump, just as most of the NY Times coverage of Trump has helped him. <br /><br />Notice how today's papers are full of articles about the many ways Hillary can lose the general election, her inauthenticity compared to her style in 2008. They are working overtime to keep Hillary out of office and helping Trump is one way to do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-30719398756131654932016-05-16T13:57:14.971-04:002016-05-16T13:57:14.971-04:00Trump didn't make the Times publish it.
