Proof of Burden: See, that's criticism I buy! But the slug thing is so pedestrian I think skepticism cuts hard *against* it

look man if you’re saying that NYT is coming in with a well-reported piece that will prove Biden is and has been unfit to serve, let’s see it. but what you linked is not even close to being it.

I do think that NYT editorial has now chosen to go to war with the Biden administration, so if there’s anything NYT reporting has loaded they’re going to drop it. why wouldn’t they

This was all planned before the debate, which seems important

I'm not sure I buy this based on the evidence at hand; just because they pre-wrote *something* in that article doesn't mean they pre-wrote the performance stuff; entirely possible that became the focus and much of the pre-write was scrapped, or only some background was pre-written

Someone at the Times should leak all the drafts of this piece so that we can judge what impact, if any, the debate had on the editing process. The public has a Right to Know whether the newspaper of record is trying to harass a public servant into stepping down prematurely

Torn because I find this very unconvincing, but at the same time, it is the signature move of NYT and no one deserves to endure it more than them

Honestly, the politico piece about the feud between the NYT and Biden has made me question the motives of everything the Times has published about the current president. Is that unfair? Maybe. I do think skepticism of elite media choices and framing is warranted, though

How The New York Times Became the White House’s Least Favorite Paperwww.politico.com Biden’s people think they’re “entitled." The Times says “they’re not being realistic.”
