What would NYT and other media have done if Dems ran a candidate who was a convicted felon, an adjudged rapist, an accused seditionist and pedophile, who wrecked the economy and caused 300,000 deaths?
I don’t need NYT to tell me these things; I read a ton of news; however, most people need the MSM to convey truthful information, and reporting over the last several years has clearly been slanted.
I do appreciate that NYT is moving onto specifics about how power is rolling out- for example, that Trump previously gave exemptions to tariffs, and that is a strategy for currying favor.
The challenge is that most folks who read the NYT are already convinced that Trump is a dangerous liar hell bent on using power for personal gain. I am not sure I need to hear any more of that argument.
Keeping the narrow view on NYT, since “other media” is to wide a scope, it is a legit counter factual. I agree that can you can’t try to lead the party of institutions as a breaker of institutional norms. The challenge with Trump is that the norm breaking is the point.
That was CYA. Two days before the election after years of normalizing, even lauding, him. Pounding for months on Joe Biden’s “age” while giving him a pass. Largely ignoring Project 2025 and the unmitigated disaster of COVID in 2020. Much too little, much too late.

They’d have crucified him.
