James GleickThe New York Times leads the paper today with a slip of the tongue by Biden. Meanwhile, Trump declared that Jan. 6 was an insurrection organized by Nancy Pelosi, but apparently that isn’t worth reporting.
mathew@JamesGleick There's an argument that they're doing the right thing by not reporting Trump's lies. Part of his strategy is that if you repeat the same lie often enough, people come to believe it. (It's a broader Republican strategy, he's just the most extreme example.)
Big Kumera Energy@mathew @JamesGleick depends on the framing. You can report that he lied on a topic and that he has a pattern of dishonesty then remind the audience of his many criminal liabilities and court cases, backing up the example of his dishonesty with this context.
Obviously the NYT won't manage that.
