Publisher A.G. Sulzberger bitches about Biden, deflects from his own failure to address the obvious, glaring shortcomings in the Times news coverage, as well as in any number of its other departments
Sulzberger himself is the problem, one of the newspaper’s own staffers tells Politico. The publisher “quietly encourages all the tough reporting” on Biden’s age, and, apparently, the lack of discussion of Trump’s age, and mental & physical condition.
Yes, some of what the Times does is outstanding, but it ALL should be outstanding.
In Newsroom Confidential, former public editor Margaret Siullivan describes how it was virtually impossible for NYT editors to accept criticism from her. And then they abolished the position altogether. Are they kidding?
Have we hard a peep of apology from the Times about its utter failure to cover the 2016 presidential election objectively? It swung the election to Trump. Does Sulzberger think Biden doesn’t know that?
Until Sulzberger performs his own oversight function, nobody can take a Times tantrum seriously.
