If the NY Times published its neurology doctor story knowing it would fuel misleading innuendo, as I'm now starting to believe, this is akin to the way the Murdoch family's Fox "News" behaves routinely.
This would transcend malpractice -- again, if what seems to be the case truly is the case -- into something deeply malevolent.
The Times has long needed a public editor with the authority to demand answers -- which is the obvious reason why they ditched that job years ago.
And what is even worse is that now, since the story has been debunked, the New York Times continues to push the narrative, irresponsibly implying that Biden's doctor is lying. This behavior smashes any possible excuse that it was an honest mistake.
Feel like it is even worse than that. Would say they are no longer interested in the truth, but in perpetrating whatever stories they think will influence public opinion toward their aims. They have forsaken reporting the news in favor of shaping the future.
