Trump then tweeted that that was #FakeNews; that the briefer hadn't said that.
Then a journalist released a recording of the "off the record" meeting.
Ignoring for the moment the fact that someone recorded something they weren't supposed to and then someone leaked it the really interesting thing is that if you listen to the recording it proves Trump right.
The spokesperson said that time was short and it would be hard to have a summit. The spokesperson never ever said it would be "impossible". They never implied that it would be impossible either, only unlikely.
That leaves us with two options.
First no one at the NYT knows English well enough to distinguish between "unlikely" and/or "time is running out" and "impossible".
Second the people at the NYT don't care about the truth at all.
Sadly option number 2 is more likely especially given that even after they heard the recording they continued to claim that they were right to use the word "impossible".
Keep this in mind when you hear the mainstream media say the Pope said there is no hell, or that this or that organization is a "white nationalist" group.
You can trust nothing that you read from places like the NYT unless you can verify it somewhere reliable.
