Gregg Jarrett: If NYT Bothered to Verify the Steele Dossier, They Would’ve Learned that It Was a Collection of Lies

TRANSCRIPT:

JARRETT: "Look, 'The New York Times' and Maggie Haberman became obsessed with Donald Trump. Driven by their hatred, their arrogance, their liberal bias, they were blinded by the fundamental standards of fairness and accuracy and the truth. And then they're rewarded, as you pointed out, Sean, with a Pulitzer Prize for getting a story wrong. When you reward bad behavior, all you get is more bad behavior, more lies, more smears. So, 'The New York Times' is very much like a religious cult when it comes to Trump. They are maniacal and they hire mindless sycophants like Ben Smith, who published the dossier without ever bothering to investigate or verify or corroborate any of it. If he had, he would have learned that it was a collection of lies conjured up by two classic phonies, Glenn Simpson and Christopher Steele, and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democrats. They were played for the fools that they are, useful idiots. And if 'The New York Times' had any integrity, it would fire those individuals who got that story wrong for so long and apologize sincerely to their readers."
