    Because a tremendous amount of their coverage sanewashed his most egregious transgressions, all while torpedoing Biden.

      I was asking for examples of article content that slept with Trump. Plus Biden deserved to step down IMO; he torpedoed himself with that debate performance.

      Searching it up, there’s one specific incident where NYT did cover Trump’s performance at an Economic Club involving an incoherent tirade very badly, but I believe that is more than canceled out with articles such as the Oct 6 frontpage “Trump’s Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age” and “If You Think Biden and Harris Were Weak on the Border, Think Again”, the NYT’s attempt at a late October surprise. Other than that, the only concerns I found were about headlines, which never were that good (though NYT usually had the more representative headlines, I’ll admit), I never trusted and Wikipedia never trusted, a prohibition on citing which alone formalized in 2020: “Headlines are written to grab readers’ attention quickly and briefly; they may be overstated or lack context […] They are often written by copy editors instead of the researchers and journalists who wrote the articles.”
