It's like f'ing clockwork.

As the Washington Examiner noted earlier today, the New York Times couldn’t be bothered to cover Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch’s super-shady private airplane meeting:

More:

The New York Times did not cover a controversial meeting that took place between U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former president Bill Clinton more than 24 hours after the news broke, a review of the Times news reports shows.

But, as it turns out, the Times was just biding their time. See, didn’t want to rush into covering the story before they could find the right angle for it:

So the @nytimes initially ignored the Lynch-Clinton story, but all over it now that they can make it about Trump: pic.twitter.com/3Pr8ka4q8C

Oh, totally. Just take a look for yourself: Trump is featured prominently in the short article about a meeting he had nothing to do with.

Will always be framed "Oh meh, this is probably nothing, really but man, watch those REPUBLICANS POUNCE ON IT!"

To be fair, I suppose it's possible that liberal reporters haven't even noticed their tendency to use the "Republicans pounce" trope.

True story.

Meanwhile, you’ve gotta love this bit, too:

It makes me feel better that Mr. Lynch was present as an objective witness.

Also gotta love the idea nothing untoward could be discussed, Lynch's husband was right there!

— Happy Thanksgiving & Epstein Didn't Kill Himself (@drawandstrike) July 1, 2016

Well if Lynch's husband was there to make sure this was all on the up-and-up, I don't see why you're so upset. https://t.co/cNC0HF3BRW
