The executive editor of The New York Times is saying it’s not up to the news organization he runs, or any other, to stop former President Trump from winning a second term in office this fall.
“So there are people out there in the world who may decide, based on their democratic rights, to elect Donald Trump as president. It is not the job of the news media to prevent that from happening. It’s the job of [President] Biden and the people around Biden to prevent that from happening,” Times executive editor Joe Kahn told Semafor during an interview that published over the weekend. “It’s our job to cover the full range of issues that people have. At the moment, democracy is one of them.”......
“We become an instrument of the Biden campaign? We turn ourselves into Xinhua News Agency or Pravda and put out a stream of stuff that’s very, very favorable to them and only write negative stories about the other side?” he asked. “And that would accomplish — what?”......
Kahn argued the average Times reader gets “a pretty well-rounded, fair portrait of Biden” and his legislative accomplishments.

What’s up with that?
Why should we believe what you say now, after all the lies you’ve willfully printed for years, decades ?
“We become an instrument of the Biden campaign? We turn ourselves into Xinhua News Agency or Pravda and put out a stream of stuff that’s very, very favorable to them and only write negative stories about the other side?”
This is this asses way of projecting what they’ve all been doing for years away from themselves, as if it could develop if they’re not veeerrrrrryyyy careful.
not their job but they’ll do it anyway
You can tell Biden has lost all support when The Slimes shirks his campaign line.
“New York Times — he also watches CNN so he gets both sides of all the issues.”
Wake up. He’s getting the same side of the issues from those 2 sources.

There was little pushback when the NPR senior editor exposed their goal to Damage the Trump presidency other than to ostracize Berliner. Appearance is everything!
Polls must be AWFUL!
Finger pointing begins before a single ballot has even been cast.
Wow.
They are absolutely living their leftist bubble.
Alleged famous quote: After Richard Nixon won 49 states.
Jonah Goldberg, 2007: “The late film critic Pauline Kael is reported to have said that Nixon couldn’t have won because she didn’t know anybody who voted for him.”
It is said she never said exactly that. Vanity Fair article”
The real quote comes from a speech Kael delivered at the Modern Language Association, on Dec. 28, 1972, as cited by the New York Times.:
“I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.”
Is this Babylon Bee?
They give the full political spectrum from Leninism to Stalinism.
Joe Kahn: “the average Times reader gets ‘a pretty well-rounded fair portrait of Biden’” [and of Trump].
Pathetic that this NYTimes editor doesn’t see what a complete idiot he’s making of himself.
What a clown.
This is different from what they said publicly before... that Trump was too dangerous and they were free to go outside journalistic bounds to stop him.
Never trust them, never read them..
The Times doing the democrat gig a tongue in the ear for your trust.
LOL - it’s been the media’s MO to elect every Democrat for decades now - through selective reporting and at times outright false reporting.
