    FileZilla now contains adware...
    
    it always did, but it does now, too.

  A current example of such bad journalism is the May 15, 2020 
  edition of the New York Times.  On the front page of the 
  Times (and “above the fold” to boot) is Peter Baker’s article 
  on Trump’s latest campaign against President Barack 
  Obama, now given the politically charged catchphrase of 
  “Obamagate.”  The charge is a typical Trumpian diversionary 
  tactic that has no substantive or evidentiary basis in fact.  
  Meanwhile, on the inside pages of the Times, we find the 
  testimony of a courageous whistleblower, Dr. Rick Bright, the 
  former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and 
  Development Authority, who documented the Trump 
  administration’s dereliction of duty in responding to the 
  Covid-19 crisis.  Bright’s testimony was definitely front 
  page news.
  
  The “Obamagate” charge is disinformation, a total fraud. It 
  should be confined to the echo chambers of Fox News and 
  right-wing social media. But Baker’s article gives the story 
  greater legs, and it is a perfect example of the false 
  equivalence that has dominated the Times’ coverage of Trump 
  since his campaign in 2015.  Half the article was devoted 
  to Trump’s grievances with his predecessor, and Senator 
  Lindsay Graham’s immediate willingness to investigate the 
  phony charges.  And half was devoted to the fact that the 
  accusations involved “undefined and unspecified crimes.”  
  The following day, an article in the Times concluded that it 
  was Trump’s “unbending…belief” that Obama was “personally 
  involved in a plot against him.”  It is impossible to know 
  what Trump actually believes so why would the Times give 
  him the benefit of the doubt?
