Skimming down the page, this caught my eye:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/...se-claim-investigation.html?ref=politics&_r=0
The headline says Trump's claim of voter fraud is a false claim.
1) voter fraud always goes on so it is a ridiculous on the face of it
2) whether the claim is true in totality or not requires an investigation - which is exactly what Trump is calling for... an investigation
3) the claim that 3 million illegals voted is not implausible as there are probably over 11 million in the U.S.
4) With a little journalistic due diligence the NYT would have learned that the claim that 3 million illegals voted originated from a private investigator Gregg Phillips who claims to have info backing up the claim that is either to be released to the new justice dept if can be trusted or to the general public if cannot. Yes it requires verification... thus the need for an investigation. I would not claim with absolute certainty that it happened without investigation, but as I said it is not implausible.
5) we have statements from Bob Creamer who visted Obama's White House 342 times talking about how they would bus people around to vote multiple times - how they've always done it and how they always will.
So how is it not "fake news" when they say "Trump falsely claims" when they don't know if it's false, act as if voter faud didn't happen at all and never happens, and treat it as if it is a foregone conclusion when the real substantive issue is that Trump is calling for an investigation which is the proper thing to do to settle the matter once and for all.
