The Times editorial board thinks it has the standing and persuasive power to make a president drop out of his reelection race but also can't imagine Donald Trump campaigning on the message that the New York Times says Joe Biden isn't up for the job
I didn’t vote for Biden in the primary any time, but I am incensed at the Times thinking they can invalidate a major party primary process because of their vibes. The last 24 hours has made me much more pro-Biden just because of this ham handed behavior
They’re not even strategic enough to think “we’ll tank his poll numbers with bad coverage till he steps down.” It’s just freaking out with no thought to how the party handles the fallout.
I honestly can't think of anything more constructive than for Biden's campaign to spend a while torching these people publicly and giving the base an enemy to coalesce around
The fact that the NYT thinks they are the public's voice and not a puzzle company subsidizing journalism is a big error imo
