The special counsel’s report and President Biden’s performance at a last-minute news conference on Thursday night placed his age, the singularly uncomfortable subject looming over his re-election bid, back at the center of America’s political conversation. nyti.ms/3uvl4a4

Good thing he's not fucking running against a guy who's essentially the same goddamn age and has been charged with dozens and dozens of felonies and found liable for sexual assault you're right, it's uncomfortable

It's uncomfortable because the media keeps making a big deal of it. www.whitehouse.gov/therecord/

And a guy who far more regularly mangles words, makes up fantasies, and seems confused about where he is

Are you going to do a front-page story every time Trump slips up and says something unintelligible or extremely stupid?

I get that this would probably take an entire section of your paper to cover properly, but "both sides" right?

Is this a rhetorical question? Because no. No they will not. Everything must be reported through the “this is bad for Biden because” lens. Any Trump screwup is only important in that it puts the focus on Biden’s age somehow.

It is definitely not a question I expect them to answer with "yes, in fact we will."

They already did that for 4 years

biden's totally lucid, coherent spry young opponent who never mixes up names like Haley : Pelosi or who was president before him should make hay of Biden messing up 1 foreign leaders name.

Yeah. What Greg said. Fuck off.

I too would also like to endorse this "Fuck off".

Luckily there's 491 shitstorm news cycles between now and November and in 30 days this news will be ancient, ancient history.

NYT will find the next fake scandal to puff up. And the one after. Because this is who they are.

No, *you* are putting in the center in an effort to advance the horse race.

Call me when he starts thinking Nikki Haley was Speaker, otherwise there is no comparison.

Exactly, or the CEO of Apple is Tim Apple, or we should all swallow bleach, and on and on and on. Trump never says anything that’s NOT a gaffe.
Avatar
fucking ghouls. what the fuck is wrong with you all?
Avatar
No, YOU placed it there while exempting from conversation a guy just a few years younger and objectively more addled and emotionally unstable because you want future book deals.
Avatar
If only he were three years younger and convicted of fraud, rape, and slander.

And much more obviously mentally unfit.

where's your article about Trump confusing Nikki Haley, his ambassador to the U.N. with Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House during his administration? could you post the link to that, for transparency?
Avatar
Or did your constant disproportionate coverage of this issue put it squarely in the center of the public's attention? But who cares about governance or policy when there's a horse race to monetize, right?
Avatar
Hey can we have some coverage of his opponent's age, and the fact that Trump's speeches are word salad dressed with balsamic resentment?

Don’t you go dragging Best Vinegar into this! Please, I need one good thing…

a heart for "balsamic resentment"

I know this is getting so annoying I’m just ignoring all this coverage. When Obama ran against McCain like I get that coverage I think McCain was like 71 at the time. But these are two men both in the twilight of their lives.
Avatar
Nothing but the NYT and the idiotic both-sidesing media is putting Biden’s age at the center of the national discourse. Trump is easily more incoherent every single day, and practically the same age.

“how did this get to the center of the conversation,” ask the people who set the agenda for the conversation and have decided to only ever talk about this

Trump claimed all-electric vehicles can only “drive for 15 minutes before you have to get a charge.” But do go on

The same thing they did to Al Gore & Hillary Clinton. Much easier than doing actual journalism.

"As reporters, we're completely powerless because the news reports itself." If you had any awareness whatsoever, you'd be paralyzed with self-contempt.
