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.

ROTFLMAO
Do our “leaders” and “elites” partake of LSD?
It might not be the NYT’s “job” , but they’re doing it for the Democrats anyway
Is that what they're calling delusional, gaslit, pollyanna tonguebathery these days?
If a journalist or news outlet has to explain that they’re not biased against a political candidate, they are obviously biased against that political candidate.
That's pretty much the MSM's entire mission statement, and has been for decades, isn't it?
This guy is unbelievably lacking in self-awareness.
The leadership at the Times sees the handwriting on the wall and is trying to save their access if Trump wins.
It must be really horrible in their insider polling if this is occurring.
Or, it is currently snowing in hell, one or the other.
Yes, that's what you are doing
My Father-in-Law is a rich Liberal living in Connecticut. He likes a well-rounded view of the news: he doesn’t only rely on the New York Times — he also watches CNN so he gets both sides of all the issues.
I’ve tried to talk to him about this, but he thinks I’m crazy. The people in the bubble don’t know they’re in a bubble.
In other words, “Kahn got a look at the latest polling data, and after he finished vomiting into his private toilet, he wrote this.”
You're exactly right to say that.
The ENTIRE article is a piece of BULL$HIT designed to camouflage the TRUTH!
My gut feeling is that with the recent NY Times article about vaxx injuries and Freddo's vaxx injury being revealed by him during a CNN interview, the Left is going to impeach Trump over vaxx injuries should he overcome the fraud in 2024. If this is true, expect more stories of vaxx injuries to pop up from other Lamestream outlets.
Fauci and Wolinsky and Pfizer/Moderna emails that revealed they knew the vaxx was harmful and suppressed it will be ignored.
The Left will go full throttle for a Nuremburg-style impeachment and argue that as commander-in-chief when it all went down, Trump bears sole responsibility.
The Left ALWAYS has a plan. Kahn's statement suggests that they know that even the fraud margin won't be enough to beat Trump, and so he can afford to make statements like that now in order to refer back to them later as an example of his impartiality.
Not their job, its their “Avocation.”
Too little too late, idiots. The NYTimes already shot their wad.
An EXCELLENT FACT that you so aptly point out.
it's a very SIMPLE TRUTH overlooked by far too many Americans.
Laughable, indeed.
EXACTLY what they *feel* their job is ... they get their directive straight from the DNC.
Lying liars.
“ Do our “leaders” and “elites” partake of LSD?”
They actually do.
Lot of drug use among elites.
“Not media’s job to prevent Trump from winning”
LOL. He might want to tell his bosses that as well as everyone else’s boss in the media. Their product is narratives, not news
Hey NYT buddy.
If it’s not your job to campaign and slant the news against president trump, then please stop doing it.
