PATHETIC: NYT Twists Own Poll Data to Shield Biden from Atrocious Economic Numbers
NewsBusters ^ | 12/20/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

The New York Times beclowned itself by twisting the results from its own poll to suppress the reality that Americans are frustrated with President Joe Biden largely because his economy stinks.

The latest Times/Sienna poll of 1,016 registered voters, dated Dec. 19, showed that the overall economy and “inflation and the cost of living” took the top spots as the “[m]ost important problem[s]” facing the country today, accounting for 20 and 14 percent of respondents, respectively (34 percent total). But that’s not what The Times chose to highlight in its write-up of the poll results: “Poll Finds Wide Disapproval of Biden on Gaza, and Little Room to Shift Gears.”

The Times used its lede paragraph to zero in on how younger voters were allegedly “far more critical than older voters of both Israel’s conduct and of the administration’s response to the war in Gaza.” Guess how many respondents picked “The Middle East/Israel/Palestinians” as the “most important problem” for the country today: One percent. That represents roughly less than a dozen respondents.

Yes, the newspaper took its own poll that was an indictment against Biden’s economic policies and made the central story about something else entirely.

The optimist: The glass is half-full.
The pessimist: The glass is half-empty.
The realist: The glass is full of piss.

This is why the Old Gray Lady is seeing its subscriptions tank on the way to a train wreck. The NYT is becoming one large editorial page to proffer its agenda, facts be damned.

How can the economic numbers be 'atrocious'?

Since Biden's innauguration I've only lost around 50 pounds.
I'm a 6 foot tall male and I now weigh about 145 pounds.
So I was definitely not overweight.

If the economy does much better, I may just wind up dead.

I’m not sure the NYT has uttered anything truthful in at least 70 or 80 years.
