New York Times chairman pushes for constant negative coverage of Biden + his age because he never granted them an interview

It'd be great if it was still a thing. Chances of that being reinstated soon are pretty low.
IDK though, the FTC petition causing change recently made me rethink that. I think we probably need to push the FCC (I think?) to reinstate it, or at least implement something adjacent to it that requires viewpoints with merit and peer review/actual citation to be required before reporting on literally anything. Otherwise, you are considered NOT a news department.
If we could delegitimize Fox News as a source for information as well, the world would be better for it.
It only applied to entities that held broadcast licenses like Network(not cable) TV and radio stations. Part of the reason it went away is because these news sources became less relevant because of the internet and cable TV.
I got the joke, I just neglected to post sensible chuckle as a reply.
For anyone else, the character is a combination of the NYT and National Esquire owner.
Maga Haberman is the very defintion of an access "journalist" whose mother worked at Rubenstein Public Relations for 40 years and did work for both Trump and the Kushners. It's all horribly incestuous.

I have never wanted to give someone a wedgie so badly.
This grade school pettiness wouldn't also possibly be skewing some of those screwy election polls of theirs too, could it? You know, like the ones saying that Biden's lost a quarter of the Black vote to Trump.
I mean if you stay away from their shitty editorials and know the fact that they control narratives by omitting or not reporting on certain things (see Palestine) there is still some decent reporting that goes on over there.
It would be nice if we could get the all star journalists over there to go ProPublica or something.
At the risk of getting banned again for pointing it out.
This is not new and I wish more people would be cognizant of the NYTimes institutional blindspots and repeated failings. Specifically around civil rights issues, manufacturing consent(and today) around US foreign policy endeavors(which they will gladly half point out later that, oops, we made some boo boos, but they just keep doing it), and their obsession with achieving coverage balance by hyper focusing on Democratic "scandals" while making sure to platform extreme right wing views while denying coverage or actively maligning left-wing ones.
As for whitewashing and soft peddling fascsits, they have a bit of a history there too.
They have good journalists, and they do good work on plenty of topics, but for "the paper of record" they should be held to a much higher standard and regarded with much more skepticism on the left than typically seems to happen given how terrible they are on so many leading and emerging issues and the way they seem to repeatedly fail in their duty to the public in the same ways. And I feel like as the Times has grown to be a broadly appealing lifestyle brand recently the gaps in reporting quality, degradation in editing, and deference to questionable government sources and right wing framing of issues have gotten a lot worse.
Definitely looks like a Gotham supervillain.

God, what they actually did with the endorsement was so fucking funny. 😂 Might as well have not endorsed anyone at all rather than making Klobuchar and Warren split it. Didn't even have the guts to endorse a singular candidate.

Zero denials from these fucking idiots loool

So... proudly destroying democracy because they don't have more direct access to the president. Got it.
That's some petty ass shit! I'm sure Biden is running to the phone to call the NYT now!
The age question has been so fucking stupid from the start when Trump is ONLY 3 YEARS YOUNGER; and clearly in a more unhealthier shape than Biden.

I'm pretty sure I saw him in an oil painting in Dishonored
Imagine how bad you must be that even though you are the genocide supporting paper of record, genocide Joe still doesn't want to throw you a bone.
OK, so it's definitely true that they're pushing "Biden too old" stories out sheer spite. Pathetic behavior from the "paper of record," especially in an election year.
This is what gets me.
"I can't vote for Biden, he's too old & senile!"
So you're going to go with…..Trump?
Totally different conversation if someone younger was in the race.
Why hasn't or why won't he a do an interview? Seems like a simple fix for his press team compared to being so frustrated you are trying to solve bad press with twitter…
NYT gave that miserable prick Mike Pence an op-ed this week where he's not at all checked when he spouts the following nonsense. Fuck the NYT.
Democrats in Washington have already attempted to legalize abortion up to the moment of birth, and they failed. But they will try again, with similar extremism, if abortion restrictions are not put in place at the federal level.

May be recalling incorrectly but weren't NYT ready to carry water for Hitler back in the day? Shit kinda tracks if so, assuming Adolf would give them an interview
Cartoonish
The NYT would "bend their knees" to Trump during his 2nd/forever presidency while appearing to be "critical" of him but not enough that they lose access to him or have him declare them shut down.
Yeah, they did a puff piece literally on the eve of the invasion of poland
