I was about to post my own thread
To summarize the article's argument
"We can take Trump seriously and frivolously obsess over gotcha moments and horserace polling"
Here is an exact quote
"every political campaign known to mankind — including Biden’s — exploits distractions and sideshows to its advantage."
So basically, we aren't going to support you. Our argument is that what your asking is what we are already doing, just for your benefit.
Here is another quote
"Biden is so press averse that members of his own party have begged him to spend more time with reporters."
They are admitting they don't like President Biden, the best president in a generation, because he doesn't give interviews.
Finally, this ridiculous quote
"A politically damaging news story about Politician A is not ordinarily designed as a political favor to Politician B, even if Politician B has announced his dictatorial ambitions. Nor does such a story automatically convey a measure of “equivalence” between Pols A and B."
This is a blatant lie.
How so?
On November 5th 2024, either Joe Biden or Donald Trump will be elected president. Only these two men.
Lets call them Candidate A and Candidate B. Any article that criticizes Candidate A is supporting Candidate B. There is no such thing as objective journalism in electoral politics during a campaign season. Not now, not in 1800 when Jefferson ran aganist Adams,
Since the New York Times has criticized Biden far more than Trump these last six months, they can be said to be supporting Donald Trump unofficially.
