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?”......

““a pretty well-rounded, fair portrait of Biden” and his legislative accomplishments.”
He must be smoking some dynamite s***...
Of course, but you have other ways to promote the left.
O’Reilly!?
And I’m the king of England.
Sheesh

It's not their job, it's their jihad.
Exactly, no mention of how the NYT handled the Mueller Investigation or the Hunter laptop.
Nor is it the job of state Departments of Justice, county or city DAs or judges. But they appear to be trying hard to get it done!
Inside your Barbie?
My wife is a victim of a serious non-fatal vaxx injury, but how is Trump responsible? Had he known of the potential harm, would he not have shut down the "vaxx-'em-all" effort pushed by the medical-profiteer complex? The fault lies with those who kept him in the dark.
Could be.
