As Twitchy told you earlier, MSNBC managed to address the current controversy surrounding Elizabeth Warren’s apparent lie about getting fired for being “visibly pregnant” by swallowing EMILY’s List VP of comms Christina Reynolds’ BS explanation for Warren’s evolving narrative.
The New York Times has essentially decided to follow suit, gathering as many water-carrying buckets as they can in order to defend Warren from the Washington Free Beacon’s journalism:
Senator Elizabeth Warren further detailed her experience of losing a teaching job because of pregnancy, refuting a conservative news site's challenge of her account. "I had an experience millions of women will recognize," she tweeted.https://t.co/dmZMBLHyOE

The New York Times is a lot more concerned about the Washington Free Beacon’s reporting undermining Elizabeth Warren’s narrative than they are about Elizabeth Warren undermining Elizabeth Warren’s narrative. Pathetic.
Amazing truth to power happening here. pic.twitter.com/WcMLTLC52Y

The entire piece basically does Elizabeth Warren’s dirty work for her, making her out to be the victim of a discriminatory policy as opposed to the perpetrator of yet another lie to perpetuate her victimhood narrative.
Um, she's literally on video twelve years ago giving an entirely different narrative of the same story. The two stories are completely opposite. So she was lying then, or she's lying now. Pick one.

She said on tape the exact opposite. It's not a Conservative thing, it's a truth thing.

When a conservative screws up, that's the story. When a liberal screws up, conservatives' reaction is the story. https://t.co/hGrl0EfsNX

Incredible. Mainstream outlets avoided covering this until they got her defense and could use a "conservatives pounced" framing. https://t.co/NsTJwrgub5

Why was it a conservative news site that found documents and proof and not the New York Times? https://t.co/n5f2E4aM98

(That’s a rhetorical question, of course.)
That's not what "refuting" means.

The Journos defending Elizabeth Warren after she was caught lying again want you to look at this woman and believe she's a native american pic.twitter.com/KqQdrYw0za

"Ignore the documents the Free Beacon has that the Warren campaign and her journo surrogates haven't refuted. Warren is our pick, comrade. She is a native American. Don't think, just vote for Warren, comrade."

Covering for a liar.
Real nice, NYT

Preview of the general election, when "conservative news site(s)" will do the journalism and the NYT will act as the unofficial spin shop of the candidate, speaking power to truth https://t.co/6cPoSUp5Cg

Sounds about right.
NYTIMES IS VERY FAKE NEWS https://t.co/a5lzR4DKfn

It’s honestly hard to argue with that assessment.
Last word to the Free Beacon:
Refute means to prove something false. We posted documents. She stuck to her story. To our colleagues at the New York Times: words matter. https://t.co/iC0AJomHQ2
