perfect analogy. NYT can't watch a single day before pumping out a histrionic take. Bonus: it is sure to be ignored by the ostensible target and paraded around by the existential threat we are theoretically facing. For good measure, it might alter the dynamic it purports to be describing.
actual result? nothing. the debate barely moved the needle, the coverage didn't move the needle, the Biden campaign hates them more, fueling a cycle of resentment that leads to coverage that is anything but objective.
Ok but are they actually histrionic or are they still just pissed he never did a big interview with them and punishing him because they're the pettiest most status obsessed strivers on this side of the ocean
Histrionic? They’re hardly the only ones saying this. The calls are base universal. To call them histrionic feels like you’ve got your head in the sand.
I've seen more takes from more people that outside of the terminally online and political, this debate had the lowest audience in cycles and the focus groups were like 'yeah, Trump won but I don't like that he was mean to a frail old man.' and I've concluded I'm a sicko who doesn't know things.
