WASHINGTON — President Trump continued his assault on the “failing New York Times” early Sunday, claiming the Gray Lady is engaging in a “Racism Witch Hunt.”

“The failing New York Times, in one of the most devastating portrayals of bad journalism in history, got caught by a leaker that they are shifting from the Phony Russian Collusion Narrative (the Mueller Report & his testimony were a total disaster), to a Racism Witch Hunt,” Trump said on Twitter.

“‘Journalism’ has reached a new low in the history of our Country. It is nothing more than an evil propaganda machine for the Democrat Party. The reporting is so false, biased and evil that it has now become a very sick joke…But the public is aware!” he added.

The president followed up that blast with a complaint about his poll numbers.

“With all that this Administration has accomplished, think what my Poll Numbers would be if we had an honest Media, which we do not!” the president said.

Trump has used Twitter all weekend to draw attention to leaked comments from the Times’ executive editor, Dean Baquet, who addressed staff at a town hall meeting Monday and a recording of his remarks was leaked to Slate.

Baquet talked about coming out of the Mueller investigation “a little tiny bit flat-footed,” but then the paper transitioned and began writing about Trump and race.

“And I think that the story changed. A lot of the stuff we’re talking about started to emerge like six or seven weeks ago,” he said.

“How do we cover America, that’s become so divided by Donald Trump? How do we grapple with all the stuff you all are talking about? How do we write about race in a thoughtful way, something we haven’t done in a large way in a long time?” the editor contiuned.

Conservatives latched on to Baquet’s comments, suggesting the Times was deliberately trying to cast Trump as a racist in a pre-ordained storyline now that the Russia investigation was wrapped up.

“The takeaway? The NYT says it is mapping out a narrative in advance of any naturally-occurring, true news events, and plans to shape all natural-occurring, true news events so that they are reported in the context of racism. This is what they believe their readers want,” tweeted “Full Measure” host Sharyl Attkisson, whose program runs on the conservative Sinclair television stations.

Trump retweeted Attkisson Saturday adding, “such a disgrace.”

The president also retweeted the Washington Examiner’s Byron York, who had pondered whether the public should “still view the Times as a news outlet? Or as something else?”

The president has been vacationing at his Bedminster, New Jersey, resort for over a week and returns to DC later Sunday.
