Liberals for the last four decades: It is an absurd oversimplification to say the media are trying to help Democrats get elected. Liberals now (at least here): The NYT and WP are trying to get Donald Trump elected! Unsubscribe! Plenty of flawed coverage, but the conspiracy theories are silly.

When you definitely have a defense of the extraordinary bias on say candidate age & mental acuity

The idea that the media is doing the opposite of something it didn't do in the past is not on its face absurd, but you're acting like it is. Do you have a real argument?

Liberals criticizing the media in general and the New York Times in particular did not just start now

I just apply Poeā€™s law or its cousin, @kenwhite.bsky.socialā€™s Rule of Goats. I donā€™t need to give them a break.

When were the media - the regular news media, not partisans/ideological outlets - ever trying to help Democrats get elected? That isn't an oversimplification, at least in my political lifetime, it is a flat falsehood.

You forget, maybe deliberately, that facts have a liberal bias.

Itā€™s not a conspiracy theory if itā€™s the net effect of their coverage

Yeah, back when Judith Miller was helping us understand why we were invading Iraq, those were the days my friend!
