Yesterday, we told you Peter Baker of the New York Times lied about D.C.'s Restaurant Week in an effort to smear President Trump and his push to crack down on crime in the city.
The dishonesty doesn't surprise us anymore, frankly. But it is nice to see liars like Baker get absolutely dragged for being the partisan hacks they are.
This morning, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dropped Baker too:
The New York Times “Chief White House Correspondent” Peter Baker is indistinguishable from a junior Democrat comms staffer — except he’s even worse at his job.

Peter was so excited to criticize President Trump that he didn’t even realize the article he shared was updated,… https://t.co/pTNAMrAciz pic.twitter.com/sCQyPZNbGc
The entire post reads:
The New York Times “Chief White House Correspondent” Peter Baker is indistinguishable from a junior Democrat comms staffer — except he’s even worse at his job.
Peter was so excited to criticize President Trump that he didn’t even realize the article he shared was updated, because it dishonestly compared last year’s DC “restaurant week” data to non-restaurant week data this year. The truth is restaurant reservations in DC were up 30% two days ago!
Democrats and their left-wing media friends hate that President Trump is finally cleaning up DC!
Nuke him from orbit.
Democrats are not capable of telling the truth... they just can't do it...

Nope. It might make President Trump look good. They can't allow that to happen.
He’s very well respected.

He is not, Liz.

Nailed it.
📉 First they screamed “Trump ruined DC!”
— Dr. Lucien Wolfe 🇺🇸 (@LucienWolfe111) August 20, 2025
📈 Then reservations jumped 30% — in two days.
So what happened?
The same media that cried about a “federal police takeover” forgot to mention that DC restaurants are booming under law & order.
They lied.
Again.
Because Trump winning…
Crime is ruining D.C.
And every other major city.
Democrats can’t stand the fact that President Trump is fixing the crime and the murder that Democrats and their treasonous policies have deliberately created. pic.twitter.com/FAPdv0BxQa

They're so mad about this.
extremely embarrassing for everyone affiliated with the NYT https://t.co/XtBvvqMSwT

We're not sure the New York Times is capable of being embarrassed.
Legacy media is the enemy of the people https://t.co/lz9L78OJ3A

Yes, it is.
Amazing how liberal media can't figure out a very simple concept.. just be honest https://t.co/7tMyIY1zq4

Honesty doesn't help Democrats.
one more step toward making the NYT unreadable https://t.co/iwGE3j8O3z

It's been unreadable for a very long time.
The media is so bad at their jobs. https://t.co/Jq67bmVqEC

When you realize their job is to push DNC propaganda, they're very good at it.
Being journalists? Not so much.
Are they this mediocre or this hateful? Or both? Tue lies are stunning. Twitter is horrible but imagine how bad the lies would be without Twitter. Imagine if competence and truth in journalism were conditions of employment. If every person were fired for producing slop….. https://t.co/okFsjfROGD

They're both.
Thank goodness for X, or we'd never hear the truth.
