Mark Jacobs is spot on. NYT normalizing this is horrific.

Healy is delusional. The NYT has been milquetoast about Trump. There is NO MIDDLE GROUND and the destruction of our democracy is due to being g*ddamn careful. The headline should be TRUMP FITS THE TEXTBOOK DEFONITION OF A TRAITOR. HIS ACTS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Speak the truth.

Healy still tiptoeing around the facts. Mark Jacobs is terrific.

He's gaslighting. His response is mere justification for the intentional somnambulace of the New York Times reporting . Even the tone of his response to being challenged is meant to push the listener into obeisance. The "banality of evil" is clear in his voice.

@nytimes REFUSES TO CALLING A LIE OUT. But, they had no problem smearing President Biden with lies the @peterbakernyt published about him having Parkinson's and NEVER retracted or apologized ever. Patrick Healy is full of shit

Patrick Healy oversaw hack stories during Biden’s term, w months of “Joe’s Old” (& no mention of Trump’s age) Then months of bad economic spin, despite the US emerging from Covid & the global recession stronger than any other nation I love Mark Jacobs, but fuck Patrick Healy

NYT defending "sane-washing" the president's speech and behavior is more enabling than it is reporting.

News 'industry' should be about truth & search for truth. Not creating space for ideological tension to advance false narratives that are profitable. 💩🤡🤬

That's not even tip-toeing, that's normalizing Trump stomping on our Constitution and pissing on us

Media outlets are worse at taking on criticism than politicians. Very very rarely do they accept even the most obvious of observations.

@nytimes they’re just afraid of saying something that will make Donorrhea file a lawsuit. They haven’t got the balls to call a spade of spade.

Mark is 100% correct! There's a reason the account NYTPitchbot (@DougJBalloon) has 245,000 followers. Too often the takes by the NYT are way off the mark under the guise of "impartiality" or human interest.

@nytimes ; @patrickhealynyt Your reader is correct! By trying to appease "both sides" you are abandoning your mission as journalists. Forget bipartisan- that's not your job- write the truth! We are under siege by a fascist puppet committing treason. Act like it!

Healey even refuses to listen to his former colleague from the Chicago Tribune. So he's definitely not going to listen to readers who aren't journalists.

The NYT needs to correct their horrible record on the CIA assassinations of JFK, Malcolm X, MLK, and RFK.

Same mega-rich family has owned NYTimes since 1800s, and they've basically always been like this:

So basically you want people to just believe what you are saying and you don’t want people to make up their own minds. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Saying the president lied and educating people as to why it is a lie is better journalism than pretending to balance "both sides". That bias of absolute corruption is adding to the corruption.

Patrick Healy - being carefully "neutral" while the current adminstration breaks every norm, law and rule in their desire to go FULL AUTOCRACY is NOT journalism, it is SUPPORT FOR THE AUTOCRATS!

"Sidestepping the norms" is what it’s called when RICH people break the law.

NYT is making bad choices. I agree with the reader.

When some says "I hear what you're saying, but" -usually means that they either didn't 'hear', 'don't want to hear', just don't care to 'hear' or give one hoot about the ensuing consequences that 'not hearing' and 'not caring' will directly cause.
