The NYT is a weak remnant of its former self. I was not shocked to see the Harris endorsement, and likewise not so shocked to see its back-handed style. Talk about half-assed! They are too afraid to lose their sensational "entertainment value" meal (click) ticket. And, please. Can we all just stop it with the "Trump is a showman" schtick? FFS. He is pathetically miles away from being a "showman." Maggie Haberman is rooting for Trump - but we all know, her bed is made. She, and many of her colleagues at NYT are miles away from doing "a very good job" at covering Trump. Instead, they are participating in the corporate sanewashing that dilutes effective headlines and eviscerates accurate reporting. Our mistake is that we all very much want to rely on NYT for news and informed points of view. We have not learned our lesson yet. In fact, there are very few "undecided" or "persuadable" voters. We have a baked-in electorate that is going to vote exactly for the president it deserves - regardless of what NYT has to say about it. Let's just all pray that it will not be Trump.
