the New York Times has descended into total nihilism; it doesn't give a damn about the truth, only about damaging Democrats and helping Trump. So it presents a video it acknowledges to be misleadingly edited as evidence for its thesis.
Setting the particular topic aside for a second, this is a truly spectacular case of the Times' pathologically incompetent "Where there's fire, there's smoke" theory of writing up high-stakes investigative stories
Donald Trump spent the debate lying, saying racist stuff, refusing to accept the results of the election, and not making much sense at all, but the New York Times has done very little follow-up on any of that. It's just wall-to-wall Biden. They've chosen sides.
Trump lying isn’t news. It’s baked in already.
Biden being so befuddled he proclaims “We finally beat Medicare” to the shock and horror of an entire nation is news.
Not what I’m claiming. The extent of Biden’s deterioration is what’s new.
If Trump performed like Biden did, I assure you, there would be extensive news about it, since it would mark a change over his garden variety incoherence.
