As of now, this FL-6 story in NYT does not mention that Trump carried the district five months ago, let alone that he carried it *by 30 points.* I'm not talking about omitting it in headline. I'm talking about the whole story. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u... - ThreadSky

Why does anyone even subscribe to the New York Times anymore? Mid as well subscribe to the NY Post

NY Times never fails-to disappoint.

ericpanzer.bsky.social•4 days ago

Stop linking to them

indyirish.bsky.social•4 days ago

Flip the parties and the headline reads - In a surprising show of strength GOP nearly flips a safe Dem seat

mdmeyer718.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not “adding”. Just (barely) holding a seat that the Rs lost ~20 points! of their 2024 margin.

Nyt is dead

joyouspanther.bsky.social•4 days ago

I wouldn’t expect Fox News to bring it up either. That’s what they are now.

mynahleague.bsky.social•4 days ago

Typical.

bee-rad-seattle.bsky.social•4 days ago

Support eroded, just not enough.

adamisacson.com•4 days ago

Noticed that too. That's… the actual story here. Why would they leave it out?

ralphtheewiggum.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because they like Republicans and think they should rule like Cossacks

tequila-sundae.bsky.social•4 days ago

I noticed this, because I was looking for this exact bit of context.

solarpons83.bsky.social•3 days ago

The good folks well like a Republican, no matter what!!!!

trdsf.bsky.social•4 days ago

Also, they're not adding to it, they're replacing a previous R. Adding to it would mean flipping a D seat.

laurenbenet.bsky.social•4 days ago

dconrad.bsky.social•4 days ago

maybe the newspaper will mention it

toedrifter.bsky.social•4 days ago

Vichy newspaper

Once again my yearning to resubscribe to NYT Cooking is put back in a box. Cookbook authors rejoice. Seriously, it's almost comical how bad they are.

unitedwiistand.bsky.social•4 days ago

The rag is compromised.

elidelajandro.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because the Times is in the tank for fascism. Why is this fact so hard to understand?!?

eunicecycle.bsky.social•4 days ago

They were a Hitler apologist too.

tomlavan.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m begging everyone: please stop paying for this fascistic rag that yearns for trump to be in power and/or the spotlight.

tomlavan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Plus, Waltz may be in need of that seat back in the short term.

saneenglish.bsky.social•4 days ago

They say he "triumphed easily." I kid you not.

kelpkelpkelp.bsky.social•4 days ago

The New York Times loves Trump.

jonsternfeld.bsky.social•4 days ago

Journalistic malpractice

dbottinick.bsky.social•4 days ago

Still, if the country doesn’t like trump’s agenda, they should have given the seat to a Democrat. Very disappointed.

apphouse50.bsky.social•4 days ago

The Pitchbot should work them over on this (if they haven't already).

ethanfletcher.bsky.social•4 days ago

Fuck off, New York Times. I really mean that.

cabaratom.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sure, the @nytimes.com are a bunch of corporate shitbags. Oh, and Randy is a Jewish Netanyahu-loving dirtball. You do the math, if you dare, James. But I suspect you won't will you?

You know the new NYT motto "All the contextless pandering that's fit to print"

sfbrion.bsky.social•4 days ago

Broken

norbizness.bsky.social•4 days ago

I teased them in the comments that maybe they would be mentioning the 20-30 point swings (and that's before the crest of the recession) around paragraph 18, but it turns out I was being optimistic.

profsjw.bsky.social•4 days ago

When I was a subscriber to the NYT & made - deliberately gentle & diplomatic – criticisms of articles in my submitted comments, I noticed that my comments weren't published. Every day the Times messes up. The so-called "paper of record" has a 25-yr. record of failure in doing its job.

ratcellar.bsky.social•4 days ago

Same.

drgallifreystands.bsky.social•4 days ago

So what was the margin?

ekw-314159.bsky.social•4 days ago

about 11 points; Waltz won by 33

drgallifreystands.bsky.social•4 days ago

That’s good - 10 point margins are a big improvement. But also the turnout seems disappointing?

windyhusker.bsky.social•4 days ago

Push notification from NYT I received was “Randy Fine easily won a house seat in Florida, adding to the GOP majority” which is not the story at all

ronthinkmedia.bsky.social•4 days ago

The @nytimes.com reporter who "covers the South" is @emilyscochrane.bsky.social who, of course, hasn't posted anything here since 2023. Her email is [email protected] if you'd like to send her a shout-out.

22carrionl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nothing to see here. Just the NY Times doing NY Times things.

arbiteriapetus.bsky.social•4 days ago

If I'm not mistaken, the registration in that district skews GOP rather heavily.

“Of the 559,000 voters eligible, 49% are Republican, compared to 25.5% Democrat. The remainder are no-party affiliated or members of minor parties.”

JF, so many of us living at the edge of apoplectic stroke… but I suspect it’s an extra level of hell for those of us with a particular, compelled attention to legacy headline, subheads, ledes, and articles.

greganrig.bsky.social•4 days ago

So egregiously bad. And they still haven’t called the decisive Crawford win that other news organizations announced more than 15 minutes ago.

cmbartus.bsky.social•4 days ago

A loss is still a loss. At this moment in time, we needed a win badly.

funkfunky.bsky.social•4 days ago

It is a conservative newspaper. The Democrats should suggest to their voters that they read elsewhere. They are part of the problem.

sheltiedad.bsky.social•4 days ago

Biden did that.
And the Times trashed him up and down. The Times speaks to and for the power establishment

funkfunky.bsky.social•4 days ago

I love that. It means they heard the criticism. It isn't going to be easy. It will take years but the Democrats can wear them down.

jasonmgunning.bsky.social•4 days ago

“Both Mr. Patronis and Mr. Fine cleared their respective primary fields easily after securing Mr. Trump’s endorsement. Mr. Trump won both districts by double-digit margins in November.”

So not 30, but still. It’s in there.

jfallows.bsky.social•4 days ago

It is in there now.

jacekolender.bsky.social•4 days ago

I guess that's the accountability @ericlipton.nytimes.com promised us!

kavavita.bsky.social•4 days ago

And Waltz won it by more than fifty points in 2022!

He got 75.3% of the vote, without Trump on the ballot.

gchernack.bsky.social•4 days ago

Completely nuts. And Florida 1 may end up even closer than Florida 6.

fsgillispie.bsky.social•4 days ago

Extrapolate these results to the midterms. And no one has missed a social security check - yet.

lizdynan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Way to miss the scoop. f
Also it's not an "add".

drmrpk.bsky.social•4 days ago

NYTimes is still shit. Keeping people uninformed.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•4 days ago

They talk about predictions of underperformance but don't mention the actual performance? Wild

billypilgrim65.bsky.social•4 days ago

Exhibit 1,374,283 that the Times is direct threat to US politics and society that needs to be either closed or treated as a propaganda outfit like Fox

rbnyc.bsky.social•4 days ago

They know yet they are making a choice. Also much of the article is canned material recycled from earlier. Lazy, sloppy and inaccurate reporting that misses the point which is significant Dem overperformance.

jamesnorth7.bsky.social•4 days ago

The NYT report did eventually say Trump had carried the district by "double digits." Why didn't an editor replace that with "30 points?"

jfallows.bsky.social•4 days ago

Don't think even that was in there at the start, but I don't see the NYT's changes-tracker to be sure. In any case, agree with your point.
