Ian Boudreau: Very funny that the Times was so certain about the panic they were causing that they set up a little live update election-season scoreboard for it

But but but my election-o-meter!!

Look at that headline, pure SEO baby food. They'd have editors out there doing Tiktok dances if they thought it would goose the Google search rankings for this thing. Utterly debased

All of that. But the last two words, so very much.

wapo journalists were doing that at one point

The WaPo TikTok’s were pretty good tho imo

Best Biden Drop Out Of The Race Best Presidential Dropout 2024 Gluten Free Election Best Democratic Party

Washington Post has a similar page but they’re not doing quite as much irresponsible coverage as NYT (and I think Biden should bow out in favor of Harris) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The Democrats calling on Biden to drop out of the 2024 electionwww.washingtonpost.com A handful of Democrats have started calling for President Biden to step aside as the party’s presidential candidate.

OH NO, MY METER! I BUFFED IT. I SHITTED IT. I’M SUPPOSED TO BE THE SMARTY!

…..Brennen? Is that you?

That's a lot of bylines. Like one per house rep

lmao

they want to wag the dog so bad you can smell the flop sweat at this point

You best me to it, should have scrolled down more

Simpsons did it

there are nearly as many bylined reporters (5) on this thing as there are Democrats who have called on Biden to drop out (6)

I hope it follows them around for the rest of their lives. "Hey, were were you one of the folks involved in that stupid scoreboard thing?"

"Which Republicans Have Called For Political Violence Against Their Opposition?" is a chart I'd like to see in the NYT

Which Republicans have been charged and/or convicted of serious crimes is one I'd like to see.

That would require some real reportage and a different editorial board, hell, publisher, since that dude at the top seems to hate Democrats more.

with three (3) reporters dedicated to it

2 of them are from graphics, and i see no graphics 🤣

Lmao

This is some tacky trying-to-make-fetch-happen shit. And now there's absolutely no way he can drop out, or it will look like he's yielding to these pricks.

Maybe it would have been a good idea for him to pass the torch like LBJ did. But respond to the liberal elite by giving in? That would have been shooting the republic on 5th Ave. No way any Democrat recovers from the sheer wimpiness of it. Just total brand destruction. For years.

Absofuckin'lutely. And the time for him to make that announcement was like eight months ago or more.

lol. They've got a listing of who's said what below it, and the "step aside" list is so short they've had to pad it with a bunch of people with "former" in front of their title (plus Marianne Williamson)

I don’t care what most of these people think, but who the fuck cares what Marianne Williamson says about anything

Any time anyone cites Marianne Williamson’s opinion about anything, they should be forced to ask her if she believes HIV causes AIDS and if so when she changed her mind.

okay, so [click-clacks on an old timey adding machine] 1.8% of House democrats are calling for Biden to step down... seems excessive to keep cutting to it and reading their statements as 'breaking news'

They were so excited about this!! I bet they have a bunch of reporters drawing overtime, all hands on deck. Complete faceplant

I can almost hear the oh-so-serious voice of the NYT reporter on The Daily trying to untangle the “mystery.”

I am surprised they didn't fake the numbers.

Give em time.

They’ll include the republicans in the count and add a tiny asterisk

so many anonymous sources

They should also set up a scoreboard for how many people have cancelled their NYT subscriptions this week

I'm very happy to be contributing to that scoreboard.

I remember when you had to watch a 2 hour documentary narrated by Noam Chomsky to see the consent being manufactured so clearly.

Isn't the number of Congress Reps actually going down? I thought I read Ted Lieu was denying his name was in the mix. Not for nothing, but I heard a staffer told Lieu that Biden was in chain swinging lifeguard mode when the story broke. bsky.app/profile/midn...

If Dark Brandon sends a coterie of concerned Congressmen packing from the White House with wedgies, after a melee choreography reminiscent of the Corn Pop epic, would Biden be safe from repercussions under the Official Acts decision? What if he walked into Bohemian Grove and did the SCOTUS bros?

Nah, they just (and I'm not making this up) got Lieu mixed up with a different Asian-American congressman who called for him to step down

Oh my god

Oh my fucking god.

Wow. 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵 This should be the end of @washingtonpost.com w the Asian community. MAGA is racist and lowers the IQ,we knew that. But to have THIS out there in gazillion Asian households is ... Words fail me Did you guys catch this? @meidastouch.bsky.social @meidasjordy.bsky.social

I mean other races can quit them too

paper of record, baby

What did that retraction look like? Or was it an unacknowledged edit?
