Seriously, WTF is the deal with the NY Times??? [View all]

It seems every day, the headlines running down the opinion columns on the right side of the NY Times webpage find new ways to generally pounce on President Biden. It's become maddening. Even in the aftermath of Tuesday's encouraging results, the Times asks "Are We Looking at George H.W. Biden?"

What a preposterous question, especially considering Biden's probable opponent is not a young and fresh Bill Clinton, but the criminal/rapist/traitor/scam artist Trump. What world does the NY Times live in???

I did not support Biden in the 2020 primaries, but damn it, he's become the best president of my lifetime!! Go to hell, NY Times.

You probably should quit giving unsolicited advice Doc Sportello Nov 2023 #77

I'm sorry, but is there something about those arguments that does not fit with the notion of a conspiracy? NCIndie Nov 2023 #80

People don't like your personal attacks Doc Sportello Nov 2023 #84

Pretty low bar for personal attacks. NCIndie Nov 2023 #100

Saying that the NYT has a corporate position to "both-sides" everything is not a "conspiracy theory" muriel_volestrangler Nov 2023 #97
