You knew something like this would happen. The media not only can't help themselves, they don't want to help themselves. Their entire raison d'etre is to make Trump look bad, so they can't just let a Super Bowl winner's White House visit go by without at least trying to spin it negatively for Trump.

But even after the Patriots did so, the Times still responded with a dishonest attempt to explain away its own fail: The problem with the Times' claim is much worse than they're trying to pretend it is.
