oh if biden went on this tangent they'd definitely write about it. they wrote an article about obama's tan suit.

I'm as frustrated as you. It's a dereliction of duty the mainstream media doesn't report on Trump's both ridiculous & dangerous remarks. I also noticed the day after No Kings this weekend, protests at more than 3000 events were ignored. The front page of the Times featured protests in France!

Same reason they only provided heavily edited versions of his insanity for the last decade.

Sulzberger doesn't want those kinds of stories. His vision is to turn the NYT into Vanity Fair. The broken down WaPo and the WSJ do more and better investigative reporting than the NYT.

Because it's OK for a bat-shit crazy transactional front man for corporations, the Pentagon & dictators to be President in the US as long as he is giving them and his rich donors whatever they want. They'll let him keep terrorizing people until he's no longer useful (incapacitated or dead).

If Joe Biden had commented on, say, Adam Schiff’s ass, it would have been a relentless cycle until both men had been drummed out of office.

Agreed. They stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the obvious.

Yes, yes, yes, but the person in question, in this case, is his name Biden? Is he a democrat? If the answer is no to either of these questions, then it behooves the @nytimes.com to be excessively fair. The modus operandi has been quite in the open since the Bush vs Gore election.

I’ve known of a case where a prudish man became demented and began fondling little girls. Becoming disinhibited is sometimes an aspect of dementia.

Because he’s not a Democrat

They are obeying in advance. They are also owned by the same people who fund the Trump campaign

They lick trump’s ass. It used to be you could get the truth from the times. Just sickening.

they are being paid off.

The Gray Lady is a wh0re.

Or that unhinged Oval press avail

Because they worry about the word 'ass' losing it's power

If a Dem...

Well, it's not a Democrat? If it's a Democrat having a minor slip of the tongue they think a childhood stutter coming out when someone's tired means they've lost all brain capacity forever and it's all you hear about.

Because the Times is owned by a bunch of fascist ass-holes?

Because they cannot write that story without reckoning with the bad faith of what they did to Biden even as Trump was right there, running for president while visibly far worse off than Biden.

Look who owns the NYTimes…

The media (and individuals) in the US have been threatened by their own President. So, because no one does anything about removing him, he carries on and everyone gets out of his way. It seems the US President has been given too much power.

it's normal now

I keep thinking of Aaron Sorkin's movie about the Chicago 7. Specifically the scene in which Mark Rylance's character calls for a geriatric psychiatrist to be present at the trial, to assess the bizarre behavior of the judge. We have no one stepping up in that way, demanding sanity. Sick=normal.

Habituation.

After watching the interview you gave with the NYT, the tell was strict adherence to staying in the safe zone (where the advertisers are comfortable), even if it meant reframing your positions into extremisms rather than mainstream.

Republicans control the media.

Because they’re in on the grift.

Patrick Healy may tut-tut you and say it ain't nice to comment on Trump's mental health if it's caused by a medical condition, but then again he clearly has a host of medical conditions they haven't reported on. If his looniness was concussion-related, the Times would be all over it.

they are a bunch of wealthy cowards

Imagine what the NYT would have said if Biden had painted his face orange a single time. Or raped a woman. Or was mentioned in the Epstein files a million times. Or said "grab her by the pussy". Or screamed at female reporters. Or bombed civilian fishing boats or a school. Etc etc etc

It's like school shootings. The US is great at doing absolutely nothing about very obvious problems.

bingo!

Cc @nytimes.com

I’m mad at Republicans for allowing this disgrace to befall our country. Failing to act!

If it were Biden, it would be a story. For some reason, the times no longer cares about the mental health of the president.

It's not snitching for you to tag them here :-)

Bought and sold and scared to death. No longer journalism, propaganda. Why do people subscribe? Even on line.

Cuz everyone already knows he’s 🥜. 😒

Access

Because mainstream media isn't in the information business, and hasn't been since social media came for their readers. It is closer to reality TV. They craft narratives from recorded events to keep an audience.

Because aside from being biased, the NYT is scared shitless of Trump.

NYT "reporting": Trump praised his political ally's ass, raising the eyebrows of some liberal critics.

Money.

Because the owners and editors of our corporate news media LIKE Republican racism and cruelty. They support it and will always carry water for it.

Because the Times is the paper of record of the oligarchy? Or at least the central propaganda outlet for the US one-party corporatocracy?

Patrick Healy doesn’t want to offend Trump

I wonder if that clown who interviewed you last week has a comment.

Because democracy dies in darkness?

Because he is a REPUKE LIKKKAN. If Biden or Obama did that, they would be printing headlines for a week & writing books (eff you Jake Tapper, from CNN)!

As someone from Scotland I could give a shit about the NYT - they are oligarch owned media. Don't consume such media.

The NYT would front-page that story for weeks, if not months. They made the decision back in 2015 to cover Trump like an entertainer, a game show host, instead of a politician, and they've continued to do that since. They are actively helping destroy the U.S., democracy, and the Constitution.

Because it is already well-established that Trump at rallies makes rambling off-topic remarks that never seem to amount to much. He's done it for the past decade and Democrats don't seem to be that interested in making hay about it, so it is deemed to be not newsworthy.

They would have written this story from 21-24 as well. Curious that they've chosen not to over the past 18 months!

Perhaps, but they have constantly reported the lies from authoritarian leaders so I'm not sure they would.
