Are you following the tweeter who mocks NYT, daily, for their ledes?

Very clever. This twitter poses a headline every day for what the NYT might emphasize in any story so as to cast bad light on Biden.

Tongue in cheek, mocking NYT.

Here's tonight.

WaPo is just as bad or worse. Tonight we have "Liberal policy promises fall flat as Biden’s plans wither".
Heaven forbid they should say "Republicans Block Every Biden Policy Proposal".

But they always go WAY rough on Democrats, while going noticeably easier on the other guys.

Anything followed by "Here's why that's bad news for Biden" is the new "Thanks, Obama."

You make your own experience there.

It's crazy good, IMO, that I can converse directly with people like John Dean and Laurence Tribe and Rep. Raskin and so many others. Send a message and get an answer.

I love folks who can mock with such keen insight & intelligence, that account is on par with The Onion.

Is the New York Times Superpower.
It's like their own unique art form.
They've been doing it so well for so long they don't know how not to any more.
