I mean, he was a world-renowned surgeon during his time, partly because he had the funds to go to Europe and learn techniques from others there. But he was also an ardent eugenicist who did more than nearly any other American towards legitimizing sterilizing over 63,000 Americans.

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and itās just that thereās a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where itās NAFTA or shit and itās like no you know what it is

The NYT also allowed him to exclude his partisan inclinations. From the 2018 piece: "In a bland way I hope to see Republicans control various state and national offices. This arises from a single issue: the legality of abortion."

More anti-democratic thoughts from 2018 the NYT allowed this writer to exclude from his current piece. Delivered with an air of detached irony, as if he miiight be joking or exaggerating. But is he?

But thatās just it. You get a bunch of stories that arenāt related to the fact that Trump was judged to have raped someone and even adding the unrelated stories it pales in comparison to the number of stories about Bidenās age.

Even so, they deemed it 9x more newsworthy to talk about Bidenās age than a president found to have committed sexual assault. It is such a clear example of the fact that Sulzberger wants Trump to win.

I firmly believe it is ALWAYS worth flooding the zone with reminders of how Trump is a convicted felon pedophile rapist who pees on people. That is how the GOP plays the game. We should too.

That number, by the way, is not made up. If @nytimes.com spent as much effort talking about how Trump was held by a judge to be a rapist as they did about Biden being old, maybe we wouldnāt be having these conversations about Biden stepping down right now.

I think itās telling that if you search āTrump AND rapeā on the New York Times website you donāt get a single article mentioning the E. Jean Carroll case but if you search āBiden AND oldā you get 18,026 hits.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?
