I am heartily tired of asking the New York Times not to contrast a Republican quote with a Democratic vote and leave readers in the dark about the truth. There is witness testimony from a Trump DOD official to support the D’s position, nothing for the R’s. nytimes.com/2019/12/13/us/… 
Johnson’s quote states a fact, supported by the plain words of the transcript and witnesses’ testimony. Gaetz’s response is false and also fails to rebut Johnson.
Biggs’ quote is unsupported by evidence or argument. Swallwell’s response is a substantive, factual rebuttal.

People have been asking NYT reporters and editors for decades to stop this fetid practice, which only serves to entrench the toxic polarization that this very article complains of.
What’s it going to take to get you to sort out the facts for your readers, @shearm? @deanbaquet?

quote* not ‘vote’ up there. autocorrect.
Appeals to privilege sorting out the truth over accentuating the drama in the newspaper also fell on deaf ears.
