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.
🍸Pooka🥕Boo🍸@JamesGleick New motto for the NYT: Why report news when we can make it!
jhhl@JamesGleick The Times has got to Times. They should do the world a favor by just printing, without comment, in the fashion of the Congressional Record, transcriptions from any recent Trump speech and any recent Biden speech determined by an agreed upon random process.
It's not slips of the tongue or lapses of memory that are the problem, it's the tortured path from the start of a sentence struggling to make it to the end in Trump's case that is the truest sign of his cognitive decline.

Dan Gillmor@JamesGleick The Times political coverage hasn't changed a bit from the emails (and long before that).
@dangillmor I have trouble accepting the idea that they’re actually trying to get Trump elected. Yet it seems more and more that way every day.
Dr. Eric J. Fielding, PhD@JamesGleick @dangillmor Trump is a more exciting person to have as President. Biden is boring, which is good in my opinion.

@JamesGleick I still resist that idea, too, but then again look at his clickbait spinoff...
jz.tuskPlease accept it. Then please help us destroy them.
Nonya Bidniss 🥥🌴@JamesGleick Perhaps a good old analysis of competing hypotheses would be instrumental in exploring this question. @dangillmor
Zhi Zhu 🕸️The #NYTimes once published an article saying that #Hitler wasn’t really that bad. He was just using #antisemitism as a way to attract followers & keep them excited about his #political campaign.
The NYTimes more recently published an article saying that #Trump isn’t really that bad. He is just using threats of #violence & #authoritarianism as a way to attract followers & keep them excited about his political campaign.
Headfirst@JamesGleick I cancelled my New York Times subscription today citing this as the reason.
Bill LambI've often threatened to subscribe, then they do some brain-dead "journalism" like this.
I also blame editors for letting it through.
The Many Voices of Anne AhlertYou mean his current Primary opponent, Nancy Pelosi, right?

@ceartas @JamesGleick @nytimes
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we and a 100,000 others could cancel once a week. The maybe the f....g Times would wake up and realise how much their policies are offending people.

TopKnotIf #Trump is elected President, destroying the NY Times on the first day will happen. It's what dictators do.
I will be playing the world's smallest violin for the Times, when/if that happens. I hope some other media source will cover my impromptu concert on the day.
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.

@JamesGleick read all about the Times relationship with Trump in Sarah Kendzior book.

@JamesGleick Oh, and also tucked in Kendzior's writing is how Garland is helping Trump:

xs4me2Really obscene…
Tito Swineflu@JamesGleick or the fact that further down the page, a contender for speaker of the house is likely to have committed rape.
Jaibar@JamesGleick I thought the said it was Nikki Haley?
carbon offsets are BS ☕️🥬The firehose of bullshit wins again.
