    Yeah. In most democracies, the NYT would at this point be a conservative establishment paper. It’s only in the USA that they seem liberal.

    And the whole thing is fuckin stupid. It’s not the press’s job to be nice to Biden. It’s not anybody’s job to give “respect” to the NYT that they sound like they feel they’re entitled to. It’s okay to work within a cordial professional productive level alongside people you have some level of beef with and don’t really like, and it seems like both the Biden and NYT camps have forgotten that.

      They don’t “seem liberal” at all, it’s repeatedly said they’re liberal by some in the (especially right-wing) media, and people just regurgitate what they hear. The right-wing media paints literally any source that isn’t 100% MAGA as “liberal,” rendering the term all but meaningless.
