News interview I would love Isaac Chotiner to do: With whoever writes NYT headlines. Today's installment. first Axios, then NYT, framing similar news.

Headline saying "Trump's underwhelming business support."
Headline saying "Grudgingly, many at top in business back Biden."

2/2 And that was meant to be "next interview" I'd like Isaac C to do. But either way ... jeesh.

Someone should do an ethnography of headline writing.

Absolutely would read any piece that interviews anyone who writes the NYT headlines and hopefully asks the necessary loaded questions.

And the Times just had an op-ed that said that no Fortune 100 execs back Trump. (Along with some weird things.)

He has the lowest level of corporate support in the history of the Republican Party.

The headlines on economic news have been especially bad. Every single piece of economic news framed as if it's bad news that demonstrates we're in a recession (or about to enter one)

James, Biden deserves it, he would not grant long interviews with Sulzberger's frustrated cadre of book writers. Why even preserve democracy if that sort of snubbing, which isn't done, is done?

The @nytimes.com headline writers are pathetic. Can't comment on the content, as I canceled my subscription

The entire thing is absurd obviously, but on what basis can anyone justify using the "yet?" That's a rhetorical question but it evidences an immense bias.
