Some of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government used Charlie Kirk’s podcast, guest-hosted by Vice President JD Vance, to lay out their plans.

      Someone on Reddit asked one of their editors during an AMA why they covered Biden’s flaws in such eager and abundant detail, and gave Trump a free pass on so much heinous nonsense. His answer was more or less that Trump was popular and Biden wasn’t, so their coverage needed to reflect that.

      They had multiple columnists who were sort of “Non-death-camp Republicans,” I remember one of them was a black guy. The whole thing was fuckin’ stupid from the jump, although they did sort of return to a more reality leaning once Trump won and it became a little bit clearer how bad it could get.

        Its a lot worse than that. The NYT has a really long history of favoring the right. They even had articles like this:

        TIMES WRITER VISITS REICH PRISON CAMP; Taken Through Entire Place at Dachau in Bavaria Except Possibly Disciplinary Cells. 2,000 INMATES GLOOMY Incautious Word Has Landed Many There – Machine Guns and Rifles Bar Escape.

          Yeah. In any country with a sane Overton window, it would be a normal conservative paper. But for some reason in the American spectrum it’s this wildly liberal thing.
