Naturally, Dowd's latest column in the NY Times is another volley in the organization's dump-Biden barrage. It focuses on the president's tendency to garble sentences here and there, something he's been doing for, oh, 60 years but now does more quietly than before.
Needless to say, not even a hint of the constant firehose of incoherent sewage that Trump spews in every speech and interview.
Of course, the piece is only about (anti) Biden. Just like most of the Times' coverage.

Rebecca Solnit’s piece in Saturday’s Guardian:
“[The MSM] have become a stampeding herd producing an avalanche of stories suggesting Biden is unfit, [...] They do this while ignoring something every scholar and critic of journalism knows well and every journalist should. As Nikole Hannah-Jones put it: ‘As media we consistently proclaim that we are just reporting the news when in fact we are driving it. What we cover, how we cover it, determines often what Americans think is important and how they perceive these issues yet we keep pretending it’s not so.’ They are not reporting that he is a loser; they are making him one.”

I wish that was the viewpoint expressed by most of the articles in the Guardian. They have published more than their fair share of "dire debate", Harris candidacy, and "Biden’s doctor reportedly met with top neurologist at White House" articles.
