I’ll note that this is substantially at odds with the candidates positions and history:

Joe Biden: Mr. Biden has framed the stakes of his re-election campaign as a fight to preserve American democracy. He has forcefully condemned Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and he has pursued — but Congress has not passed — legislation to expand voting access and counter restrictions in Republican-led states.

Mr. Trump is the only United States president who has refused to accept his loss in a democratic election. He tried to overturn the 2020 election and has sought to delegitimize the electoral system. He also uses terms like “vermin” to describe his political opponents and other groups, including migrants, dehumanizing swaths of society in language that echoes Hitler and other authoritarian leaders.

    Well put - and I expect we’d agree that the worst are outlets like the NYT and WP that trip over themselves trying to appeal to a demographic that hates them by constantly pushing “both sides” or worse pretending it’s normal partisan dynamics and not an utterly corrupt SCOTUS and dysfunctional Congress let alone aspiring authoritarianism on one side. They focus on eyeballs and revenue, journalistic integrity be damned.
