It's not that I don't expect the NYT to launder far right talking points, that's always been their thing and they doubled down on it under Trump.

What frightens me is the *sloppiness* lately. They can barely be bothered to hide what they're doing anymore.

They've decided it's publicly acceptable.

@gwensnyder

Excellent point. They've turned the paper into a supermarket tabloid and don't seem to care.

@mastodonmigration @gwensnyder

I've seen people saying variations of "Biden has to resign now. Heck, the things being published now would have, even a month ago much less over the last 4 years, only been written by conspiracy theorists and right wing demagogues. And now it's coming from everybody in the mainstream!" with absolutely no sense of awareness of what they're admitting.

It's an absolute embarrassment and everybody involved should be ashamed of themselves. But just like in the past, they'll blame somebody else for their own actions.

"We can't keep talking about the Supreme Court's legalization of bribery, upending essentially all federal law, and placing the President above the law because it is now old news, days, some even 2 weeks old!. And now back to our 3rd week of wall-to-wall front-page coverage of Biden being 84 years old, which is breaking news."

@gwensnyder and the public is deciding it is unacceptable by canceling subscriptions.

@gwensnyder Four years of the Trump-scourge in White House mainly contributed to the contagious normalization of high crimes & misdemeanors.

Time the NYT & other Trump-whitewashing media close their wallets & open their eyes, ears & minds to understand that their existence, too is only guaranteed by the U.S.'s democratic system of government & its Rule of Law.

Which psychopath Trump simply can't & won't guarantee, as much as his reactionary, revisionist puppeteers from the Heritage Foundation & Leo's Federalist Society wont.

@gwensnyder For their “legal weed, what went wrong” analysis piece they went with a Manhattan Institute “fellow”.
@gwensnyder Have you seen the George Clooney OpEd? This is an orchestrated ageist attack on the President of the United States, and I'm sick to my stomach over it. They *all* know better - Clooney, Rob Reiner, Stephen King - every last one of them knows better.
@gwensnyder They can pretend to themselves that the president is in denial and that this is an "intervention" because we love Joe and we love democracy, but interventions are done in *private*, not in the OpEd pages of the New York Times or in the halls of Congress or via loose-lipped staffers.
@gwensnyder NYT is doing a CYA in case Trump wins and our nation turns full Fascist. "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

@gwensnyder

It is like an upside down flag.

@gwensnyder That's what happened in the UK too, leading to last week's massive Labour win, when voters for all opposition parties turned on them by voting tactically, just to get rid of the Conservatives.
