Absolutely! This is the story the media should focussing on.
Yeah, I understand that people are frustrated with inflation and the status quo. Shit keeps getting more expensive and everyone feels like they’re falling behind. It’s easy to blame the current leadership and say Biden isn’t doing enough.
The problem is, Trump and Republicans literally have no solution for this and will only make things exponentially worse. I have this sinking feeling that more and more people are willing to vote for Trump just because they want something different. But to me it feels like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
It took an investigative news team and one of the nation’s top media organizations eight years to figure that out?
NYT has been covering for Trump this whole time. Go watch their recent video about Project 2025. It’s the most watered down BS that tries to absolve the orange turd from being responsible for it.
No. As an Opinion column, it’s essentially invalid. They can have an opinion column to reinstate the monarchy. And doubtless have.
Yeah we know
donald trump is unfit to exist.
FUCK NYT. This opinion is like broken clock being right twice a day.
FUCK NYT
Is there a reason other than them criticizing Biden?
Edit:
They’ve endorsed a Dem every election back to 1956…
But pointing out the obvious that 81 is old and Biden acts his age and suddenly it’s all “FUCK NYT” because moderates act just like trumpets.
100% loyalty is permanently required, anything less and they never knew ya.
Fucking cultists really want to make the Dem party just like the Republican.
Pointing out the obvious is fine.
Repeating the same thing over and over while ignoring newer events is not fine. In fact it can be a sign of dementia.
They look like Republicans because they are.
You’re reading a lot of oddly specific subtext from a single statement.
What?
I asked one question, which is literally “why”…
Is there a reason other than them criticizing Biden?
Which hasn’t gotten any response…
Then I went back in edited in how long and steadfast the NYT’s endorsement of Dems have been.
And commented on how concerning it was that all it took was recognizing reality for Biden supporters to start acting like trump supporters.
It’s bad enough when 1 of 2 parties act like that. When they both do were all fucked.
Is the broken clock analogy the new “we’re now in the find out phase” of the comment sections?
Bold take, NYT.
We need this from the New York post or one of those sites.
But then I would be forced to doubt that Trump is unfit to rule. It would be painful but necessary for any “information” found on the NY Post.
The point is conservatives get their news from it. They would implode
At this point, NYT finally writing this column is like Ja Rule finally telling us what to think .
NO SHIT. jeezus h christ NY Times tell us something we don’t know.
Having continuous pieces like this make a difference. Think of how many “Biden has to step aside!” pieces have been written in the past two weeks and how much a part of the political discussion that is. The more time the media takes up shouting from the rooftops that Trump is a threat to America, the more mainstream and central the discourse becomes.
if they don’t publish this and just report on biden’s gaffes:
“why is the media always talking about biden but not saying anything against the orange guy?”
Remember folks — this is an opinion piece, it is not news.
The reason you may hear more news about Biden being unfit for office than Trump being unfit is in large part because many Dems are calling for Biden to step aside, and it is newsworthy that a candidate faces calls from his own party.
The GOP is not widely calling for Trump to step down.
And the reason many Dems are calling for him to step aside is because of the snowballing effort of the media to push this story.
I’m not going to argue he’s not old, or too old to be president - I had that opinion four years ago. As is Trump too old to be president.
What’s insane to me is that there’s no counter argument. There are no stories about all the accomplishments his administration has had. How incredibly productive he’s been and how much better off this country is today than it was four years ago. The News is not reporting the news - they’re reporting speculation. All I see is people complaining about the economy and immigration while no one is pointing out what Biden has done, or has tried to do, to help these matters. The only image they have is of an old man stammering over the course of two hours out of three years.
It’s reasonable to assume that most Americans have no clue what the Biden administration has accomplished because the news rarely reports it. And now, in a moment when a wave of opposition is building, you’d think someone - the media, members of congress, Harris, Obama - would make an effort to defend the guy and at least offer some tangible, verifiable actions taken in the past three years.

https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/?ruling=trueAnd frankly his antics have become normalized.
I read a few pieces saying some political journalists will retire if Trump becomes president, simply because covering him was so exhausting and stressful. I imagine many are still sick of it, and think covering him just gives him more attention anyway.
It’s crazy that for something so important the dems are handling it as if they had no plan. Donald Trump should be the absolute easiest possible competition for their candidate to beat. It’s like they learned nothing from 2008 and the energy around Obama. We need younger candidates who can communicate to the public well. Better policy means nothing to most swing voters if it can’t be communicated effectively.
No shit
Him, along with the entire political class. Thanks, NYT.
No, that’s lazy thinking.
So much so he has the ability to get people to support Biden. Amazing stuff.
Water is wet.
Some one should tell his voters that.
No shit.
