"The disclosures about the contacts came as new questions were raised about Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s ties to the Russians. According to a former senior American official, he met with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, twice in the past year. The details of the meetings were not clear, but the contact appeared to contradict testimony Mr. Sessions provided Congress during his confirmation hearing in January when he said he “did not have communications with the Russians.”

A racist AND a liar? Surely not.

you figure as a lawyer he'd be better at lying

I think that they all think that because they're with Trump, they can say or do anything they want.

Many of the statements were "true", but only if you ignored context, and many were labeled "misleading" as well. The actual article does not paint a very rosy picture of the speech at all.

The link to the actual NY Times piece was in the article I posted, and I read that too. The issue with the "picture they painted" was that it was just that, a picture or perspective (as is the perspective of the article I posted). The NYT see it from one point of view and admittedly aren't swayed by the facts. Any way you want to slice it, Trumps speech was truthful. And by the way, both public and pundit response to the speech was overwhelming positive (something like a 68% favorability rating). Also, I'm not entirely a Trump supporter. I lean very libertarian, but I'm willing to give the man a chance. After all, he won the election. I do think the wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the protesting/rioting from the left is ridiculous.

None of that changes what Orpheus was saying; the Daily Caller took the reporting of the New York Times and mischaracterized much of what they said through their own ideological lens. That's kind of what the Daily Caller does; it's not rocket science that they approach their reporting with a partisan bent.
