In reply to the discussion: Israel to sue New York Times over article alleging widespread rape of prisoners [View all]no_hypocrisy
(55,357 posts)53. Here's the Formula:
One: Bibi sues the NYT, but expects a settlement before Discovery.
Two: NYT counsel is resistant to settle. All evidence points to a judgment in its favor.
Three: And ex deus machina! A phone call from President Donald J. Trump to the NYT. "Hey! Leave my BFF, Bibi, alone and give him his money. I wrote down a number for you . . . . . "
Four: NYT responds, "Are you out of your mind?"
Five: Trump tells them he can pick a date for its last publication.
Six: NYT acquiesces and asks should the check be made out to Bibi or בנימין נתניהו.
It's a shakedown and Bibi will be splitting his pot of gold with TSF.

I don't know if this column is true or not, but the NYT doesn't have a great history.
