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.
That was the hard part, some good ones obviously and I’m sure a good many on staff in general. At the end of the day, it’s petulant AG Sulzberger’s yellow sheet and he deserves the best treatment a dark alley can offer.
