I am not going to cancel my subscription to the NY Times. (I tried that once and came back because WaPo is even worse.) The science section, book reviews, and other places are just too good. But, having said that, I have to also say that most of the political reporting is awful. And stop with the horrible headlines.
The Times actually seems to think that any pushback for their both-sideism and love affair with Trump somehow proves that they are exactly right. There's a word for this: hubris.
Here's the actual subheadline in a Peter Baker article today:
"For the sitting president, even a triumphant ceremony to sign major domestic legislation can hardly break through the nonstop attention on his predecessor."
The article is as bad as the headline. Baker actually wrote an article about a major piece of legislation in which the article gave nonstop attention to Biden's predecessor. They create the nonstop attention for Trump and then report the same nonstop attention that they created, as if they discovered it.
Someone save us please.
