The NYT call for Biden to step down would seem momentous if not for the fact the NYT has been absolutely beclowning itself on Biden v. Trump for several years now.

I could write NYT editorials if only I suffered a massive head wound or a moderate stroke. See? Why Trump Shitting Himself On Stage Is Bad News For Biden! Donald Trump Ate 3 Babies, And Now It's Time For Biden to Resign I can't quite capture the clownfuckery completely, but it's close.

Following in the footsteps of David Pecker, the NYT demonstrates why it has evolved into a grocery store rag. Just call this “Pecker Journalism”.

Since the beginning, the establishment has been telling the left that we must hold our noses and vote for Biden because democracy is at stake. So I say to the center now, you must demand that Biden step down because democracy is at stake. He is not beating Trump.

Ask “should Biden step down because of his age?” But follow with: “should Trump step down because he is a convicted felon and a rapist?” Anyone who answers ‘yes’ to the former but not the latter immediately demonstrates they’re not genuine—and unfit to hold position of political or media influence.

The NYT is making themselves part of the story to drive clicks, likes, views, ad revenue, new subscriptions... I no longer take them seriously. They're a less crazy version of fox & a slightly better written USA Today.

@kenwhite.bsky.social They've been beclowning themselves for decades by not noting, every time his name comes up, that Trump lost money running a casino.

Which takes some doing!

That discussion with Stephens, Goldberg, Healy and Bouie in the NYT was embarrassing. Only Bouie seemed to have any grounding in reality and was really the only one who tried to form an argument based on more than personal vibes.

Joe Biden has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever. Submit an op-ed to the NYT telling them to go fuck themselves and dare them to run it. And if they don't, give it to WaPO along with an interview.

I canceled my NYT subscription last month after being a reader since the 1970s. The caliber of writing has dropped drastically, the arts coverage is poor and I'm sick of MAGA Maggie Haberman, who should have been canned. Don't miss it at all

Beclowning is such a good word (even if my autocorrect wants to render it “bellowing”). But I wonder if it goes far enough. I think the effort goes deep enough to become enclowning.

This is actually an unwitting gift to Biden by the NYT. Now he can take a page from HW's 1988 campaign, and frankly, Trump's: "everyone's out to get me, so annoy them by voting for me." It wins.
