The Barbershop: Dennis Byrne, Proprietor

Another example of NY Times biased reporting–as if we need one

This one, of many examples, is byAnnie Karni and Maggie Haberman writing, “Trump, with his baseless attacks on Joe Biden’s mental status, may have set a trap for himself in the first debate.” [Emphasis added.]

They wrote,

The misleading notion that Biden is too addled for the presidency has been driven by Trump since 2018, when he first started referring to the former vice president as Sleepy Joe. [Emphasis added.]

On what authority do they add the judgmental words “baseless” and “misleading?”

Yes, Trump is making such a charge and many people think it is wrong, unfounded and stupid. It’s perfectly fine to report that as fact.

But then they go on their own authority to dismiss as untrue the argument made by one candidate against another. It’s up to the readers to make that decision unless the reporters can find objective evidence otherwise that they can cited.

Not to mention, many people do believe that Biden is addled. But the reporters are saying that those millions are wrong too.

Doesn’t the New York Times have any editors that are journalists?
