The New York Times: Fickle on Hillary Clinton – Chapter 3

With Hillary Clinton's campaign fundraising going into full swing, the New York Times strikes again!  Continuing its attempt to capitalize on its deal with the Peter Schweizer, author of the evidence-free, Koch-funded opus, Clinton Cash, the NYT offers this header.

Top Economist Sees Clinton Money Machine as Problematic

By Alan Rappeport

I will not bother sharing the text. You can go there if you want.  Jeffrey D. Sachs has a history of work on Africa with the Clinton administration developing the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), but we have seen disaffected Clintonites in the past and are certain to see more as time goes on.   In a codicil,  Rappeport notes that President Clinton defended foundation work.   How very New York Timesy to link to another NYT article rather than to the true and detailed story sent out by the Clinton Foundation this week.

Friend,
For the past week, President Clinton and Chelsea have been in Africa meeting people who are directly implementing, participating in, and benefiting from our projects. This is life-changing work that has been made possible through your support, and I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you.
Along with our partners and CGI commitment makers, we're working hand-in-hand with smallholder farmers in Tanzania to help them improve their harvests and increase their incomes, building new technology to combat climate change in Kenya, and bringing lifesaving vaccines to people in hard-to-reach places.
Across all this work, one thing is clear: when people work together, extraordinary progress is possible. And while this work may not make headlines, it is making a difference in the lives of so many.
You have been part of our amazing journey, and we hope you're as proud as we are of the results. You can see some of those results on our site, which features interactive stories, videos and maps of our work in Africa – and shares why we couldn't be more optimistic about the future.
We appreciate all that you do. Thank you for your commitment to building a better world.
Sincerely,
Bruce R. Lindsey
Chairman of the Board
Clinton Foundation

At the foundation website, President Clinton encourages us to follow the trend lines.

"Underneath the headlines, the trend lines are going in our direction. You must not be discouraged by the fact that doing good is not often considered good news.”

Where are the headlines about this work?  The Times apparently is more dedicated to promoting a book full of meritless accusations than to showing the good the foundation does.  What is the real target?  What is the point?  The answer has been clear for weeks.  The Schweizer book and the deal with the Times have always been intended to target Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
The allegations might mean something if Koch  funds were curing blindness and providing hearing aids in Africa rather than publishing a miscategorized work of fiction which, incidentally, I will not further fictionalize by pretending to have read much less to have purchased in order to read.   The $18 - $21 dollars Amazon lists it for is better spent at  HillaryClinton.com and the Clinton Foundation.  They, assuredly, will put hard-earned cash to better purpose than the Kochs and company ever would.
