For 10/7, @nytimes.com Politics vertical has 4 stories on Biden, all on stay/go. They run 1 on Trump directly on his VP search setting up candidates for '28. 2 other related stories: JD Vance urging Trump to prosecute Biden, and Rubio loving Trump's immunity.
This is journalistic malpractice. 1/
2/ It's a common critique: the amount & nature of coverage at @nytimes–& hence elite media–is v. different for the 2 candidates. And see above.
In ignoring the substance of Trump, his campaign, & his explicit plans for policy and staffing in his admin, NYT betrays both its craft & the republic...
3/ They are missing so much:
Trump's own age issues (hint: there's enuf on the record to strongly suggest he's not capable of doing the job of president).
Renewed (& new) evidence of sexual misconduct w/in the Trump campaign, maybe involving DJT.
Recently released Epstein papers involving Trump...
4/ Oh, and Project 2025, which promises a radical transformation of the US into an imperial-president led right wing state.
(Note, elite media friends: Trump saying he doesn't know about P2025 is at best meaningless: policy is personnel, & the project is led by one of Trump's closest sr. aides.)...
5/ And there's so much more (I haven't seen anything on Trumpworld's finances lately. Given the out-front corruption of term 1, that would seem a fruitful vein to mine).
The point is that while Biden's current struggles are certainly a story-that's not the only story...
6/ Failing to cover Trump in all his facets with the same intensity that the mighty @nytimes.com newsroom has leveled at Biden is functionally bias. Hell, I'd be happier if they devoted only as many resources to diving into Trump's personal & political issues as they did chasing Harvard's Gay. /fin
The GIGANTIC difference in ad buys between Trump and Biden suggests the Republicans are having serious money problems. Can't Maggie talk to any of the Trump whisperers about that for a minute?
