I'll bet you've never even seen a lawn mower.

After you start it, you get behind the black handle and push. It's easy, you should try it.

Steven Greenhouse is an asshole who likes to play "gotcha" games. Yeah, let's crush the entrepreneurial dreams of a 10 year old. This is why the NYT has become a rag.

OMG, someone actually did this. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

He tweeted one dumb tweet. I think Trump leads him on that particular score by about five thousand.






But I do note...

.....between the article and the comments to it, there are lots of remarks about progressive finger-wagging and snowflakes. Yet, every last one of those comments is from someone who saw this dumb tweet and became genuinely outraged by it.

Funny, that.

Speaking exclusively to your post, how is mowing someone's lawn for free demonstrative of an "entrepreneurial dream?"

Like most liberals it appears you don't know how marketing works. It's not surprising.

Wishing an excruciating death on someone for blasting your president.

Keeping it classy as always.

The fact that you pipe up at all, you're the best troll around.
 
Re: NY Times reporter slammed after saying boy mowing White House lawn sends bad sign

just think of the publicity the kid got for his business.

10 years from now the story will read, 11 year kid that mowed the WH lawn is now running a million dollar a year lawn mowing business.

If one can't respect what Trump just did, by allowing this kid to come demonstrate his entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic (per his own request), then one is a ****tard of galactic proportions. This reporter showed off his liberal ass to the world, and needs to pay for it with the rest of his worthless reputation.

Ok you're a bit triggered here. Why don't you find a safe space and cool down a bit.

Re: NY Times reporter slammed after saying boy mowing White House lawn sends bad sign

Something similar happened recently when Michelle Goldberg wrote a book review for The New York Times that contained a number of errors. The author of the book was understandably upset that her work had been mischaracterized, but the level of interest generated by the review was totally out of keeping with the gravity of Goldberg's mistake, which became the occasion for endless glib speculation about goings-on at the paper. When she later tweeted that she would "give a kidney and five years of my life" to take back her error, it was impossible not to feel sorry for her. How cruel and unforgiving is our public culture that a talented writer could feel this way about a book review? The Sunday Book Review is, not to put too fine a point on it, the laziest, most boring section of its kind in the English-speaking world: staid, blandly written, with an emphasis on, well, correctness. No critics do less with more than its contributors.

A NYT reporter doing nothing but trying to damage the President through a 10 years old kid.
The kid had the time of his life and to boot he got a tour of the oval office from the president.
The NYT is nothing but a partisan rag pushing the progressive and resist movement!

And the thing is up till the early 90's it was a very good paper. I tried to read the Sunday National, tried to get back onto the habit a few years back but I had to give up, it was thin and quite bad quality journalism. The reason is that they gave up trying to do journalism, clearly, they are now into Utopia Building.

And that's why you can only raise one hand. You should have waited 'till you were 13, you would have had both.

The guy is no longer with the Times and tweeted from his personal account. He may be very left, as a reporter that reported on labor I'm sure he's one of the most liberal on the staff, but you seems to be more concerned with smearing NYT than actually being upset with what the guy said.
 
Re: NY Times reporter slammed after saying boy mowing White House lawn sends bad sign

Mowing that piece of grass is going to be one of the memories that kid always looks back upon. He got to go to the White House, meet the president, and cut the grass. If it hadn't been for his willingness to cut the grass, it never would have happened. Good job, kid. As to the whiners that are complaining, it's just the anti-Trump crowd.
