Newt Gingrich has had it up to HERE with the New York Times, much like many other Americans. No other paper consistently pretends to be above the general public quite as much as the Times; talk about smug elitists.
Newt has seven questions for them:

The questions included (we answered a few of them with our own educated guesses):
1. Does the Times have any reporters, editors, or columnists who will say they voted for Trump, and has it hired any new ones? (gonna guess NO)
2. Has it hired any reporters who are even Republicans? (HA HA HA HA HA)
3. Has it changed its policies that allowed journalists to express their opinions about the events and people they covered in their news stories? (NOPE NOPE NOPE)
4. Will it ask the Pulitzer Prize board to withdraw, and its reporters to return, any prizes that might be awarded for news stories that contained reporters’ personal opinions? (Psh, not even)
5. Have its editors retracted misleading news headlines that expressed opinions — such as the paper’s coverage of Trump’s tax returns? (Going out on a limb here and saying no)
6. Has it fired reporters who admitted to writing politically motivated “news” stories and encouraged interview subjects to talk to them so they could stop Trump? (God no, HA! That would mean the paper has integrity)
7. Has it retracted its shameful election-eve front-page story “reporting” on Trump’s innermost thoughts and feelings, virtually every sentence of which is filled with reporters’ opinions and speculations–featuring claims like “he is struggling to suppress his bottomless need for attention”? (And another resounding no)

They'd need to recognize honesty before they can reclaim it.

Pretty sure the New York Times won’t be responding to Newt anytime soon.
