there is a human being who works at the NYT and the Washington Post who makes these choices. The same human being who covered the front pages in a drumbeat of "Biden's mental fitness" coverage after the first debate. Who are they? What is their motivation? Why do they act in this way? Who benefits?
"In a previous era, Jack Smith’s newly unsealed brief would generate Watergate-level coverage. These days, though, the new details about Trump's frantic efforts to steal the election had already rolled off the top of the NYT and Washington Post homepages by Thursday morning."
In a sane world it would be Watergate-level news.

Yes. We know what it looks like when they want to make something a scandal. They know what it looks like. It's a choice and they're making a different choice! bsky.app/profile/ctho...
It would be cool if this received, I dunno, at least 30% of the number of column inches devoted to the revelation that the president of Harvard decades ago committed a level of plagiarism that at worst would have caused her grade to drop from an A to a B if she had done it in my class.

Frankly, the problem is the subscribers. As long as morons continue to shovel cash at the New York Times nothing will change. There will be no Road to Damascus for the Times. All your questions are good and should be answered. But won’t while they’re printing money.
Well… let’s see… For the gazillion time THEY WANT TRUMP TO WIN? (I’m not shouting at you btw just trying to answer the question 😂)
They are, no matter what games they play in their heads, employees of donors to the Republican Party, whose every move makes sense of seen as calculated to serve careers in that reality.
Michael, there are more important things that should be higher prominence on the NYT homepage than the unprecedented criminality of the previous admin. Such as the Dem's corruption problem that Dem's are ignoring by... indicting criminals?
The conclusion I’ve come to is that those decision makers think the story of this election is that Democrats are supposed to lose, over mostly cultural issues and immigration, and that Trump has overcome all the odds against him by virtue of a silent majority who agree with him.
