I’ve read the New York Times all my life, and I worked in the newsroom for ten years, and I’ve never seen the news department along with the editorial department commit to a nakedly partisan political crusade, as they are now. Evidently they are more outraged by Biden’s determination to continue running for re-election than they have ever been by Donald Trump.

The readership of the New York Times is the moneyed.

The moneyed do not necessarily want to live under a Trump fascist dictatorship, but they do want a gridlocked, hobbled, & backsliding democracy that won't be able to handle crises like climate change.

They want a democracy that won't get any bright ideas like social mobility, women voting, or immigrants succeeding.

They want profitable disasters that balloon the national debt & thwart taxation on themselves.
