With your willingness to misrepresent and distort quotes (or ālieā), you only have yourselves to blame for Biden not wanting to sit down for an interview with your paper. Lying some more doesnāt change this but it does alienate any body paying attention. This is a cynical, gutless move.

And it doesnāt matter if the alert is at 11pm or 11am, itās the same process. Why? So the staff can fully assess the situation and enable POTUS to make an informed decision. We also know from past experience with nuclear false alarms that this is how the process works. Case in point (from 1980):

This is such bullshit, and a perfect example of the politically-driven āgotchaā agenda of right-wing media. No officials outside of the White House can instantly call the president. Everything goes through the staff, in this case on the National Security Council and the White House Military Office.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Here's the thing: the people pulling the fire alarm on Trump v. US are people like Radley, Legal Eagle and @kenwhite.bsky.social , etc. I've followed these guys for years and they are not prone to panic-mongering. They're usually the ones saying, "Take a deep breath". It really is that bad.

@washingtonpost.com, are you all doing an article on media standards and shameless hit jobs because it seems newsworthy the the NYT is suggesting that the administration is hiding a presidential health condition when he just signed a Parkinsonās bill to law.
If not, why not?

As many others have noted Biden signed a bill on July 2nd on this issue. I have let the paper of record who authorized an editorial suggesting voting doesnāt matter on July 4th my thoughts. I encourage you to do so as well. While I try to avoid quote dunking Iāll make an exception here.

Why does your headline not reflect that he signed off on a Parkinsonās bill? This reads like innuendo when thereās no sign of Parkinsonās. I havenāt subscribed to you in over a decade and stuff like this is why. We all know youāre running the same Hillary Clinton health attacks line.
