Someone on Mastodon made a good observation about how this headline is framed: https://mastodon.social/@jeffjarvis/112238112958275511

The New York Times does not assume Trump's motives whenever he says or does something; the headline simply reads "Trump Says Thing." But they will insert a motive for something Biden does. In this case, "swing-state pitch," instead of "doing more of the thing that he has done several times before." Can we assume that he hopes to pick up some votes by doing this? Of course. But the NYTimes' editorial standards are very inconsistent, and worth noticing.

They’re not inconsistent; it’s all on purpose.

sartalon,

He’s basically only forgiving interest or automatically forgiving debt for people who qualify and didn’t apply for existing programs. Or people who have been paying for 20 years.

Anyone who could possibly have heartache about that can fuck right off.

I owe a lot but I can afford to pay and I do not fucking care if I have to pay and some someone else gets their loan forgiven. Good for them. Should have been free in the first place.
