This is actually worse than false equivalence, because the Times story on Clinton and Russia was a big nothingburger — Clinton didn’t make the deal, she didn’t have the authority to veto the deal, and there’s no evidence she intervened with the president to get him to approve the deal (or, indeed, that she was involved in any way.)
In addition to the Clinton Rules, Lipton presumably is also downplaying the major Forbes story because he’s pissy that he got scooped. The reaction of the reporter who spent the 2016 campaign eating the NYT’s lunch is instructive:
Such an incredible story by @forbes, deconstructing how the @EricTrumpFdn was apparently used to funnel $ back to the Trump org. https://t.co/gLgMCpBmUV
