New York Times "full frontal assault" on Biden. They want Trump to win. They have made it very clear.

[FelineOverlord]

Let's accept it.

We're in a war on multiple fronts.

We are in a war against the Nazi pigs in the GOP.

We are at war with much of the mainstream press.

And yes, I know that I will get people defending the Times here, but I don't care.

They are wrong and I am right.

It's been going on for years.

Remember the Bush years and Judith Miller?

Ever read how the New York Times thought Hitler wasn't that bad?

The @nytimes
full frontal assault on Biden, based on the unverifiable claims of a partisan prosecutor, is one more example of how our elite media is in the tank for Trump. And it was all made inevitable when Merrick Garland handed the GOP this gift on a silver platter.

Today's NYT talks to experts who say Hur's claims about Biden's memory are hard to verify.

So does that mean NYT regrets yesterday's news analysis hyping those claims?

As I argue below, these analysis pieces are *choices.* There are better ones:

1. Peter Baker is pissed Biden won't give the NYT an interview

Thing is, even if he sat for one and handled it fine it wouldn’t make a difference in their coverage IMO.

4. Exactly

They have already made up their minds.

[shrike3]

11. Yep. Their egos are bruised. They dictate the discourse, gosh darn it.

[JohnSJ]

12. Peter Baker. Is notorious for his bothsiderisms. As for The NY Times,

after what they did to Hillary, the Iraq WMDs, blaming the “hubris of Obama” for republicans rejecting global warming, I think they have made it clear where they are coming from.

Maybe Biden can get in the good graces of US media by carrying out a violent insurrection, being owned by the Kremlin, and promising to be a dictator. Then just maybe he might be as young and coherent as Trump 🤦🏼‍♀️

It’s surreal watching this amplification and excitement over Trump after what we have witnessed the past several years while seeing the nonstop attacks on Biden’s age

Shame on you, Katie Tur on @MSNBC just now, for implying that special counsel felt he needed to add that memory crap in the report because maybe he saw something worse and felt the need to warn the country...are you freaking kidding me?

Ashley Parker and others are still salty that they weren't invited to Naomi Biden's wedding in 2022.

A private event.

They feel SO entitled.

They are willing to overturn democracy because they were butt-hurt about it.

📌The way political reporters (hacks) Maggie Haberman, Ashley Parker etc. are carrying on right now, Naomi Biden’s refusal to allow them to cover her wedding looks pretty good right now.

📌And a question: Do these people report to anybody in their newsroom????

During the Trump administration she specialized at looking shocked at press conferences, then going on The Shows and explaining how every Trump outrage was actually a brilliant strategy.

She's sincerely a bad person.

20. How low can you go, NYT?

Special pains deserved by Maureen Dowd and Ross Douthat, whose current columns amount to nothing more than gleefully and prematurely excavating President Biden's grave. I keep thinking a once-great newspaper can't deteriorate any further---and the NYT opinion section keeps proving me wrong, on a regular basis. Disgusting and shameful.

[CTyankee]

23. I take those two with a grain of salt. The NYT has other columnists who are liberal. I read all opinion columns in the

NYT and I like it. Douthat and Dowd don't bother me. I can read their columns and brush off what I feel they have misrepresented. I like reading what they have to say on a given subject and can make up my mind as to their bias. I kinda know what they are going to say at the outset, but sometimes I see cracks in their arguments that are laughable. So I laugh and come on DU and get a lot of in depth articles and rebuttals. I enjoy the repartee.

42. You are clearly a better person than I am. (nt)

43. No, just probably older. Seen too much to be really impressed. But I am very worried about lots of things going on...the

welcoming of Trumpism by so many Americans can lead to disastrous results which is why I come here every day. It's the gas in my car. I keep abreast of the issues. And I really do want to make a difference and I feel the folks here at DU are trying just like me to make our world a better place (and I know that sounds trite).

If neutrality requires pushing false equivalence on the mental and psychological fitness of the two candidates- they can do that.

30. Hur's Observations Are Beyond The Scope Of His Work

Hur is also unqualified to conclude on the meaning of what he observed because his education and training is not in those areas. There need to be warnings that these claims by Hur cannot be independently verified and should be ignored. I would think that a lapse like this should interest the Bar Association.

[Think. Again.]

34. Exactly why his report...

...should not have been accepted by garland. It was not a legitimate report on the question of criminality in Biden's handling of documents, which was the only mandate.

If garland needed to find another SC to do the required task with acceptable professionalism, so be it, start over.

[AkFemDem]

31. And when Trump was in office "The Lying New York Times"

were "out of control", "fake news", "the failing NYT", and quote- "the enemy of the American people".

It seems to me that the NYT has a very long history of focusing first on the incumbent, and second on the competition. They report primarily on the person who is currently sitting in office- and typically that reporting will be critical in nature. Editorials in particular will take an opposing POV persuasive stance. In the last election cycle, this benefitted Biden and harmed Trump. This election cycle will accomplish the opposite result. That said, I have not seen any warming toward Trump himself or an embrace of his policies from the NYT staff.

The questions raised by the NYT regarding Biden's age and health are not unreasonable imo although they do, no doubt, hurt his campaign. They're not questions asked in a vacuum though- they reflect the questions and concerns of their readers and Biden's constituents. Does this kind of coverage amplify those concerns and risk spreading fears about his age? Yes, yes of course. Is that frustrating if someone is either a Biden fan or a Trump opponent who favors another candidate? Yes, yes of course. Does this meet the test of "wanting Trump to win"? No, no of course not.

The NYT will continue to pursue and print articles that 1. reflect the common concerns of its readers 2. amplify public discussion about important topics, and 3. are sensational enough to sell papers. We're not always going to like what those articles say.

32. the Times is a rag. I wouldn't wipe my ass with it

Much less subscribe.

Dropped my subscription back in the Judith Miller days.

[senseandsensibility]

35. You are right and they are wrong

Exactly. Anyone who defends the NYT is not being objective. They have, as you point out, proven their bias over and over again. Judith Miller and how they treated Hillary are only two examples. Can one point to exceptions? Of course, but the overall tenor of their coverage is very anti Dem and has been for decades. I'm glad you are calling them out.

[diane in sf]

37. The NYT has ticked me off so badly that I've just done an Act Blue monthly subscription to the Biden campaign.

I look forward to receiving my mug.

[GiqueCee]

38. The saddest part...

... is that one of Trump's favorite insults has finally been proven to be true: This really IS the "failing" New York Times. The "Paper of Record" is failing the American people in an obscene display of undeserved favoritism toward a third-string Hitler wannabe. We have cancelled our subscription. I wouldn't wipe my butt with the New York Times. And not because I'd get printing ink all over myself.
