A blast email from NYLJ seems to “stretch” for an anti-Trump angle: “Man accused of pretending to be a lawyer turns out to be a founder of a pro-Trump campus group.”  There is no connection between this individual, or conduct he’s accused of and Donald Trump, except apparently at one point (in college) he was pro-Trump in his politics.

By contrast, a recent NYLJ article about Greg Craig “buries the lede.” Former Obama Counsel Mr. Craig was charged with being an undisclosed agent for Ukraine. That is, Mr. Craig was charged with what essentially led the media to characterize Paul Manafort as a “Russian agent.” The NYLJ headline described him (only) as “Former Skadden Partner”–as though that were the newsworthy association.  If Mr. Craig were counsel to Donald Trump, is there any doubt the NYLJ would have led with “Trump Counsel Charged With Lying About Ukraine?”
