I’ve subscribed to the NYT this year for the first time in many years, and I can’t help but notice that it feels so much more sanitized and passive, even compared to WashPo

That headline says: "who knows? new idea? maybe he's right? guess we'll see!"

Didn’t he swear on a bible that “I will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?” like every other president?

“Suggests”??? Is that the word we use when someone explicitly says something?

“Maggie Haberman” at the beginning of the byline is all you need to know that it’s a “Sane-Wash” article that is a gift for Trump.

The first third, definitely. I think Savage wrote the back half where alarm bells start ringing.

Could it be a case of “burying the lead” here?

Maybe it’s time to store sharing anything from NYT

We have to read our ideological enemies. Sadly that’s what they are. But we must be aware how state media is normalizing this behavior in order to act accordingly. Shaping the narrative is part of politics.

That's just feeding the beast to me.

I understand that feeling. But I have free access to the NYT through my job. I wouldn’t spend my own $$ It’s also why I gift articles, so you can see for yourself if you choose to.

I had a paid subscription but canceled it when they refused to endorse Kamala.
