The New York Times is facing a sustained wave of backlash.
The Gray Lady has for several weeks been in the crosshairs of a vocal set of critics and readers who believe that Donald Trump poses a grave threat to American democracy and that the influential news organization isn’t adequately conveying those stakes to the public.
Criticism of The Times is nothing new, but as it appears with each passing day that Trump has a real shot of recapturing the White House, the expressions of disapproval have become particularly pronounced.
In the view of its critics, The Times has been far too distracted as of late by worries over President Joe Biden’s age, allowing it to steal attention away from the larger and far more serious danger posed by a second Trump administration. Critics have also argued that The Times covers Biden and Trump with disproportionate standards, placing false equivalence on issues surrounding the current president to those of the former president, who is facing 91 criminal counts and fantasized about being a dictator on “day one.”

Loss of power and control is the core fear for them. Bush drove them insane too for the exact same reason.
Of course criticism of the NYT by CNN would be coming from the left of it.
When will they run a “news” story like “Critics say the treatment of the J6 prisoners has been too lenient, and that censorship methods don’t go nearly far enough.”
Great quote—this is the leftist Jews today who think they are “not white” and the leftists who hate them will figure it out any day now.
CNN sucks. This stupid piece is just more proof of what everyone knows - - CNN shills for the democrat party.
yes and there was competition
The lack of spittle flying from lips of NY Times journalists when talking about Trump is an affront to leftists.
They get crazier and crazier.
You think it's bad now, wait until Trump wins.
The gaslighting media mob has its marching orders. Yesterday on MSDNC - see at 3:04 - Jong Fast says “a sort of false equivalency ..like one guy has 91 criminal counts and the other guy’s old”
In the CNN article it’s
“..placing false equivalence on issues surrounding the current president to those of the former president, who is facing 91 criminal counts and fantasized about being a dictator on “day one.””

So one media spin artist says something then other leftist outlets report that the spin artist said something. Same with how “top of mind” became a new idiom and was endlessly repeated after KJP used it to explain why Biden was asking to see “Jackie”, the woman who was killed in a car accident.
Today’s lesson is “false equivalency”, but they are right - there is no equivalence between a man who is the victim of racist, perjuring, corrupt, lecherous idiots who are seeking to keep him out of office by illegal means (Trump), and a doddering fool. Ask yourself if you would ride in a car driven by Joe Biden much less live in a country driven by him.
Coincidentally, bird cage sales are down too.
“ Donald Trump poses a grave threat to American democracy ”
He does, and so do I. We will uphold our Constitutional Republic and crush the Leftist “democracy”.
Oliver Darcy clutching his pearls. Again.
Wanna bet? Ever watch the Spew?
Today’s journalists are the legacy of Cronkite, et al, and are the very worthy heirs. They were just as corruption, partisan and dishonest, they were just less deranged appearing. Don’t be deceived about this, young people.
What readers the NY Times has left do not want to have their views or opinions challenged - they want to be reassured that what they already think is right. That’s the business the NY Times is in now - if it gets out of line, the readership will let it know.
WHO CARES!!!
Its a newspaper. Left leaning partisans still read that rag. Thats about it.
Bless their little hearts. If I wrote what I really wished for them it would be removed.
See, you’d think they would be all in for that kind of stuff given their proclivity for Socialism and Communism, but they aren’t because they are selfish. It’s all about, “my body, my feelings, my lived experiences, my journey, my affirmation,” etc. Very self-centered humans.
Citizen Robespierre needs a trim.
“ What is the danger the left fears with a Trump win! Prosperity, secure borders, no wars, a stable world? They never articulate what specific thing they are afraid of.”
Their own accountability for being on the opposite side of this
