I find it interesting that the NYT refers to him as Mr. Biden, instead of President Biden. 🙂

That is for every POTUS. After first “President” in article, then “Mr.”

That's an ancient American Pravda/AP Stylebook thing, although long overdue for a woke makeover. The first reference is President, and from then on their street title.

The AP Stylebook also says this is all wrong: "he was hung from the nearest lamppost." It should be written as "he was hanged."

The New York Slimes refers to every man in an article as “Mr.”. It could be a story about a serial killer and he would still be called “Mr.” It’s just their little style quirk.

“..I find it interesting that the NYT refers to him as Mr. Biden, instead of President Biden. 🙂....”

I wouldn’t give the demented, vile POS even the courtesy of a “Mr.”.
FJB.
The only thing I respect about him is the flag pin he un-deservingly wears. Otherwise, he’s an utter disgrace to that pin, the People, the USA....and himself.
I pray every single day for his, and his communist handlers, total demise.

It’s from the AP Stylebook. BBC also has a Style Guide with the same rule.

First reference is ‘President’, and thereafter is ‘Mr.’.

During the run-up to VE-Day, the NYTs referred to Germany’s Chancellor as “Mr. Hitler”.

:-/

Wonder when it will refer to him as the criminal anti-American traitor that half the country thinks he is?
