"TRUMP URGES UNITY VS. RACISM"
oh yeah .. that's BAD isn't it? it's racist! insensitive! immoral!
NOT. it was actually a message of optimism about the recent shootings. But apparently the Times can't print anything remotely good that Trump says without getting called out for it .. by leftist politicians and others. who themselves are pushing leftist hard-line messages. They just won't tolerate any positive message by that Evil Trump!!!
i find this a shining example of Karma. the NY Times has relentless pushed false and fake negative news since Trump began his run for President. Now their base DEMANDS it.

New York Times executive editor explains why they changed 'bad' headline for Trump cover story
by John Gage | August 06, 2019 01:26 PM
New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet said the publication changed a controversial front page headline in the wake of President Trump's speech on last weekend's mass shootings.
"It was written on deadline and when it was passed along for approval we all saw it was a bad headline and changed it pretty quickly," Baquet told the Daily Beast Tuesday. "I understand the concern people have. Headlines matter. But I hope they read the coverage, which I will argue was strong."
A representative for the publication said the headline in question "TRUMP URGES UNITY VS. RACISM" was "clearly flawed" but that it had been changed for every edition but the first.
The headline change followed criticism of the Times by a handful of liberal pundits and Democratic presidential candidates.
Lives literally depend on you doing better, NYT. Please do. https://t.co/L4CpCb8zLiUnbelievable. https://t.co/rLgaacttDS

"Trump Urges Unity Against Racism" is almost as bad as their full-page Comey letter coverage just before 2016 election. Nobody learns. https://t.co/FNUyXN9TmB
The New York Times changed its headline for the second edition, but this is the one that landed on our doorstep & is displayed in storefronts throughout our majority-black zip code. What a betrayal, pretending this president is not the racist we know him to be. pic.twitter.com/qEaj0HJqK2

The Times replaced the original headline with "ASSAILING HATE BUT NOT GUNS."

The headline followed President Trump's response to mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
In a speech after the shootings, the president condemned white supremacy, calling it a "sinister" ideology.
Trump urged lawmakers to pass gun background checks in tweets before his speech but did not talk about potential solutions during the speech.
