The New York Times posted a side by side picture of the New England Patriots’ visit today to the White House versus their visit in 2015 for Obama.
They were trying to make it look like Trump had no support because there were less people in the picture and miserably failed. The best part? The Patriots actually called them out for fake news!
Here’s the misleading picture that the New York Times posted today, attempting to make Trump look like he had no support.

The Patriots posted one of the pictures from today with more people in it and thanked the White House.
Thanks @realDonaldTrump & @WhiteHouse for the gracious hospitality today honoring the Super Bowl Champion New England #Patriots! pic.twitter.com/7AU8XsA5Xk

The Patriots then blast the New York Times saying the photo lacks context and that today over 40 football staff were seated on the South Lawn versus the stairs in 2015.
These photos lack context. Facts: In 2015, over 40 football staff were on the stairs. In 2017, they were seated on the South Lawn. https://t.co/iIYtV0hR6Y
