The Hill ^ | May 6, 2024 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

[Chode]

yeah, right...

[metmom]

What’s up with that?

[chiller]

Why should we believe what you say now, after all the lies you’ve willfully printed for years, decades ?

[TalBlack]

“We become an instrument of the Biden campaign? We turn ourselves into Xinhua News Agency or Pravda and put out a stream of stuff that’s very, very favorable to them and only write negative stories about the other side?”

This is this asses way of projecting what they’ve all been doing for years away from themselves, as if it could develop if they’re not veeerrrrrryyyy careful.

[Jonny7797]

not their job but they’ll do it anyway

[fwdude]

You can tell Biden has lost all support when The Slimes shirks his campaign line.

[Jonny7797]

“New York Times — he also watches CNN so he gets both sides of all the issues.”

Wake up. He’s getting the same side of the issues from those 2 sources.

[Political Junkie Too]

If a journalist or news outlet has to explain that they’re not biased against a political candidate, it means what they're doing isn't working.

There was little pushback when the NPR senior editor exposed their goal to Damage the Trump presidency other than to ostracize Berliner. Appearance is everything!

[Tzimisce]

Polls must be AWFUL!

Finger pointing begins before a single ballot has even been cast.

Wow.

“We become an instrument of the Biden campaign? We turn ourselves into Xinhua News Agency or Pravda and put out a stream of stuff that’s very, very favorable to them and only write negative stories about the other side?” he asked. “And that would accomplish — what?”...

I know what it would accomplish - it would create a situation where the 85% of citizens WHO ARE NOT WHITE LIBERAL 'ELITES' would quit trusting what the paper says. Just like Pravda and any other totalitarian rag that kisses the butts of their elites and gives the finger to powerless citizens. That's what's happened here. That's what was accomplished.

They are absolutely living their leftist bubble.

Alleged famous quote: After Richard Nixon won 49 states.

Jonah Goldberg, 2007: “The late film critic Pauline Kael is reported to have said that Nixon couldn’t have won because she didn’t know anybody who voted for him.”

It is said she never said exactly that. Vanity Fair article”

The real quote comes from a speech Kael delivered at the Modern Language Association, on Dec. 28, 1972, as cited by the New York Times.:

“I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.”

Is this Babylon Bee?

[bray]

They give the full political spectrum from Leninism to Stalinism.

[RAldrich]

Joe Kahn: “the average Times reader gets ‘a pretty well-rounded fair portrait of Biden’” [and of Trump].

Pathetic that this NYTimes editor doesn’t see what a complete idiot he’s making of himself.

[Fido969]

What a clown.

[Titus-Maximus]

This is different from what they said publicly before... that Trump was too dangerous and they were free to go outside journalistic bounds to stop him.

Never trust them, never read them..

[Vaduz]

The Times doing the democrat gig a tongue in the ear for your trust.

[Republican Wildcat]

LOL - it’s been the media’s MO to elect every Democrat for decades now - through selective reporting and at times outright false reporting.
