Maybe I’m wrong but this feels very much like a consistent editorial choice to commission stories on Biden’s age www.mediamatters.org/washington-p...

I’m also interested in seeing this as a share of the publication’s overall election coverage.

We need to stop treating NYT as a serious paper of record. It’s more akin to RT nowadays.

You are not wrong. Why headlines aren't screaming about Schlump being evil personified is the greatest shame in light of the First Amendment. That should happen as well as Democrats shutting the fuck up about age and standing solidly as a bloc behind Biden. That is how to win.

I love the NYT. But it would good for the health of America if there were a media organ at least as powerful headquartered in, say, Houston or Columbus. A place where people don’t worry that they are out of touch with regular Americans.

I expect it from the WSJ but I expected a little better from the others. I guess the media is just determined to keep it a horse race.

I should maybe write a bot that posts this chart in the comments and social media of these publications when they push an article that does this.

i totally buy this "anxieties about the elderly" thing. just saw an FB thread where all people did was bitch about the age of the candidates. i also see the biden thing at least as an outgrowth of a weird green lantern, bill clinton empathy thing, like "how can an old person understand my problems?"

Biden isn't controversial enough. They need to gin up the horserace to sell eyeballs to advertisers. No more self-awareness or thought for the future than a dog licking its own asshole.

Its literally the only dink after 45 years. Hes made mistakes. But age is the only hack go-to. The brit podcasts drive me crazy. Instead of age, how about parodying his enthusiasm for democracy, choice, not dying by gun, clean future…

I don't know if this distinction makes sense, but I could be curious to see how many of the "Biden old" stories were commissioned by editors rather than pitched by writers.
