what gets me about the NYT pile on here is that they have such a magnetic pull on the discourse that people, including myself tbh, just can't help themselves from talking about it

It's really jarring talking to people who are in/out of the "media types or politics sickos" Venn. The obsession is just not there at all, regardless of opinions on Biden's fitness.

yeah. and the ethical void here is just beyond description. like Petey Baker doesn't vote because that might indicate Political Bias but it's fine for the entire org to hound the president out of office in a fit of pique when the republic itself is literally on the line

I don’t think it’s a fit of pique I genuinely think the Sulzbergers want to have Trump win.

“Put those blue hairs and college nambys in their place once and for all” is the line I once heard from someone in their circle

yeah i think this is their real motivation, they don't care about trump winning as much as they do about us losing. They'll happily play as his Opposition until he has them arrested
