This is the news section of a major newspaper. It’s not a leftist blog.

Which is funny, given that the bloggers - left, right, and center - have consistently been breaking more stories with better researched articles of late. The last straggling remnants of print journalism don't have the budget to do more than stenography or the clout to do more than lick the taint of whomever is in charge.

Biden’s age was indeed a major concern.

If you treat MAGA Fascism and Biden's Octogenarianism as equally important, so will your audience.

Their coverage of Trump was extremely good and extensive

It was extremely late and ineffectual.

Meanwhile, for every Trump scandal story, we got three different Transgender Athlete pieces. North of 30 distinct pieces appeared, often at the front page of the Times coverage. These ran in lockstep with the Republican political campaign ads vilifying liberal candidates for support of Title XI and Equal Access laws.

This, alongside a slew of stories demonizing student protesters which went so far as to call them unwitting agents of the Iranian military.

So, after echoing a slew of lies that echoed Republican talking points in a razor thin election all year long, they also popped off a handful of stories critical of the Republican nominee weeks into the early voting period. Cool. Great job.

Americans voted for him. That’s their choice.

Millions of Americans were disenfranchised in 2024.

This was a failure of democracy regardless of outcome. But the dogged assertion that "Americans Voted For This" consistently ignores how many Americans were strictly prohibited from participating, to the point of facing years of jail time, if they even dared submit a provisional ballot.
