While the stories certainly have soft-pedaled or outright disguised the issues created by this or Biden’s administration, I find the NYT’s headlines regularly don’t reflect what their authors wrote. Further, I am disgusted that few if not no legacy news organizations stood with the AP and walked out of the press briefing room much less continue to sit there with, as you describe, a liar spewing at them. Why not leave and choke that outlet? Why not ask simple questions deferentially when responding to outrageousness: 1) are you ignorant of the facts or are you being told to cover? 2) are you lying or ignorant or need more time to get accurate answers? 3) are you incorrigible? Their failure to act suggests the MSM and legacy journalists are waiting for someone else to take a stance so they can uphold the norm of reporting on it. Their fearful lack of taking a stance and depending upon “access” for their reporting is helping usher us down the authoritarian’s road.

To my simplistic way of thinking, it's almost as if they are obeying in advance......
