The New York Times is now visibly working -- from the "news" side of the operation -- to undermine Biden's re-election.

More than most of Big Journalism, it has been thumping the right-wing-generated "he's too old" drum even before the 2020 election. The poll published today, from my perspective, is designed to further a narrative that the so-called Paper of Record has done so much to create.

I thought a new top editor might be an improvement. Kahn has been, in fact, a disaster.

Pundits suggest replacing President Biden as the Democratic nominee because THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND the job of the presidency or how conventions work. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell gives a masterful history lesson in governing in the age of television. The governing will not be televised.

Lawrence O'Donell (paraphrased): The 1968 convention was exciting. Good TV. The Democrats lost to Nixon because of it.

@dangillmor The NYTimes knew W was lying about WMDs back in 2002 but did nothing because sales. They been pro fascist for a very long time.

That was the last drop for me to cancel my online subscription.

I’m from Germany but want to be informed on international topics besides German press. Is there a recommendation for quality international press?

@dangillmor I dumped my NYT subscription a year ago and their misinformation campaign supporting the right wing has just gotten worse since then.

@dangillmor Biden has been unwise and is jeopardising a Democratic victory. Is there yet time for him to announce he will not run and anoint a younger candidate?
AOS is probably too young
This year
And, sadly, a bridge too far.

They are an enemy of democracy. What are we going to do about it?
