Sanewashing 102. Imagine comparing this to Trump's litancy of pardons, crimes, corruption, and his promise to pardon violent insurrectionists whom he calls hostages and political prisoners. Sad, shameful shit.

Not to mention, if Hunter was a Trumper he would most likely have met all the skills and experience requirements to be head of the DEA under Trump2.

I can't imagine any father not pardoning his son and leaving his son to the wolves. My parents were talking about it and we're very unhappy. They felt because Biden said twice he would not pardon Hunter, Biden has no integrity. The cognitive dissonance is off the charts.

I told my parents the 👹and we shouldn't get in a discussion about this.

“Man loses home to fire, and expresses same sentiments as arson suspect.”

Hunter Biden committed the same crime that every American who owns a gun and smokes weed committed. It was the most political prosecution of our lifetime.

Their current editor clearly has a hard on for Trump…and autocracy

When MAGA Republicans rage about the Hunter Biden pardon, the best response is, "Because f*ck you, that's why." As a centrist, I find this pardon low on the WTF scale compared to right-wing actions. It highlights flaws on both sides and exposes the harsh truth about the state of American politics.

They would have been on Hunter like a dog with a bone.

Exactly. The cruelty of the right is the point.

politicalamericans.com/gop-outraged...

The Times is dead. Long live the @inquirer.com.

It’s sickening listening to this CROOK talking about something being misused 🤔

Soo take away insurance from trump/the gqp in the House and Senate and the trumpers. Give it to others. Problem solved.

Talk about false equivocation. Whatever Hunter Biden did or did not do, he did not violently attack our capitol, stage a coup, nor did he participate in insurrection. It’s just plain propaganda.

Agreed! The gaslighting of all his crimes and convictions is laughable!

I can't stand the NYT. I really can't.This is what spending tens of thousands of dollars to go to a "top" J school gets you. This is the dreck that gets produced.Corporate media like the NYT played a huge role in getting this dirtbag re-elected. May the history books be truthful&very unkind to MSM.

Morticians are gleeful.

When we say shake up healthcare we don't mean cancel health insurance for 20million people. We mean like lower the cost of things like insulin and guarantee every human that lives in America can get health insurance that is affordable.

Why do yall still read that garbage😭

The NY Times is becoming the Enquirer! Just a rag with provocative headlines to draw you in so they can feed you their idea of truth, aka alternative facts!!

The hell we don’t.

I think ordinary citizens think “shake-up” means something it doesn’t in this case…they think it means “make it better for all” RFKjr wants to just “take it away from many”

Specifically, the parts that piss them off will get better with no downsides.

Wait until the next pandemic. Then they might mind.

It's like noting "bias" in North Korean state media now. This is just how it is, and how they are.

Why are they so intent on reporting what "voters think" rather than the actual information?

It’s easier to ask some idiot what he thinks and just put quotes around it than to find multiple actual subject experts and determine the consensus opinion. Rage-bait also sells considerably better than discussions on nuanced policy analysis.

Maybe their life is better than America right now

✅ NYeT

Sad but true. I get whiplash working with news coverage from the NYT in the 1960s -- direct and forthright, little in the way of weasel words -- and then reading their coverage today.

I quit NYT the first time after getting shoved out of my chair on the national copy desk on deadline when a higher-up wanted to "tweak" a story on the Anne Gorsuch EPA scandal. #AllRotLeadsToReagan Dash's dad and granddad were also bad.

Whitewater led to Yellowcake led to the Orange National Nightmare...

They're "media professionals" now, Kevin. They don't have time for your direct reporting of facts.

(I had a project recently that required stress-testing endnotes with a lot of NYT from 1930-1990 or so. Very pleasurable. NYT stinks but TimesMachine is excellent. All those chewy front pages from 1959, ahhh.)

same... I spend time buried in their WWII editions -- clear, descriptive, filled with helpful detail. Opinions limited and way in the back of the paper, where they belong.

Something in the NYT culture broke in the 90's when it lost its mind over Bill and Hillary. It never recovered and has just gotten worse every year.

As control of the Times gradually passed from the original Arthur Ochs Sulzberger to his son, and now to his grandson, it has increasingly adopted an aristocratic, Versailles view of America. The grandfather published the Pentagon Papers. Does anybody imagine the grandson would do the same?

Could you share some headlines from that time?

Could you imagine anybody pitching this movie ending today? youtu.be/vZNnDiDSUiI?...

I’ve been thinking about this daily for weeks.

It's all about the ratings, facts be damned

The US healthcare system already has so many serious issues. Kennedy is going to turn it into a disaster. I predict millions will lose their access to healthcare because of Trump and Oz and Trump. Maybe they will be ok taking his green coffee beans ?

The Times is already into this deep. They will continue their eleciton season game of tilting Trump and his antics in the direction of normality, and tilting Trump resistors as small minded cranks.

My patients on Obama care mind.

Can we just admit that the NYT needs Trump in power and stop being surprised?

Voicing your frustration would be lots more difficult in an iron lung.

If we are to win, the Dems need to really address this need. Advocate for real universal healthcare. Bolster trust in our public heath professionals. Change the media ecosystem to squash the viral spread of medical misinformation. 2/

Listen…. I’m as anti-RFK as they come because vaccines are the hill I will die on. The article highlights the fact that Americans are fed up with a broken healthcare system and are looking for a change agent. It’s horrible that RFK is filling that void. 1/

Just as long as they get rid of that stupid communist Obamacare. Then I can enjoy my Affordable Care Act in peace.

I mind. @nytimes.com has become another Trump supporting rag.

The minimjm number of items that makes a "many" is 4.

We need to stop giving New York Times the attention they desperately want

If they have issues now just wait till these incompetent tools get through destroying it all.

Incredible. The same washing continues along with the gas lighting. Don’t know many ppl who want their health insurance “shaken up”. But sure NY Times. Sure

And those voters are all bat shit lunatics who want to destroy America from within. bsky.app/profile/bria...

JUST. FUCKING. BOYCOTT. THEM. JFC what is so hard to understand about this? The Zombie Fourth Estate is nothing but a gaslighting tool for the fascists on behalf of the oligarchy. IT. NEEDS. TO. DIE.

Wonder if they will care when Americans start dying from preventable diseases.

Will Trump IMPROVE anything? No.

When historians condemn our generation, they’ll start with the media.

bahahahhahha I think of this everyday at the moment

It scares me how many Americans are fooled by empty words. Trump wants to 'shake up healthcare' what does that even mean, do away with it????

We need a movement to desubscribe the NYT.

Hoo, boy!

The New York Times must be reindoctrinated or obliterated STAT

This sort of thing is why I cancelled my NYT subscription.

How many is many? And many of the many have no understanding about how bad it’s really gonna get. We will all be far less safe and secure under this fascist apparatus.

🤦🏼‍♀️

O M G

Let me explain the healthcare system. Leave it be. Surgery with R2D2, return to ER 2 days after first with B|P 195/135. 2 day stay. Release, back in a week later. Another surgery. Doing well, thank you very much. Bill $192,000, paid by Medicare Advantage carrier. $90 ER bill paid by me. Doing fine.

This American minds.☹️

The New York Times Ministry of Propaganda

Ministry of Crapaganda!

Most US media outlets lean very right towards loosely governed markets. The NYT has been the middle’s pied piper for years. The red wash is so bad that the needy now instinctively vote against their own interest.

So glad I canceled my NY Times subscription.

Well, that’s how dumb they really are….

“Some voters”… Are those voters in the room with you right now, NYT?

I know what you mean, but they are describing a real phenomenon. When people are pissed at the status quo, they will vote in shocking numbers for ANYONE promising to smash it up. Because they want to! And they don't want to listen to anyone saying "No, this guy is a lunatic" because there goes hope

'Shake up'. What a euphemism.

“Some voters” is wild.

We're still waiting on him to release his health care plan that he said he'd release every two weeks since he took office in 2017.

But, but, he has the concept of a plan.....

Can't wait see to see how his "concept of a plan" fills the void when he repeals Obamacare. Get ready for millions of Americans to die.

Just like COVID....

Yes. Between 2016 & 2019, the number of Americans without health insurance jumped by about 2.3 million. As many as 25,000 Americans died from just the loss of healthcare coverage during his 1st disastrous term. www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in...

Jesus. 🤬

Republicans have always wanted to change to a Single Prayer System: if you get sick, the clergy of your choice can come and pray for the return of health.

NYT is a joke atp. I can't take anything they write seriously.

Many Americans are stupid too

The NYT is just L take after L take these days.

Many more do mind

Omg

They will mind when it effects them personally.

We must keep using our voice. #keepfighting #Hope

Watching the morning news before the election both local & national I’d see the same thing. A short clip of VP Harris speaking & a short clip showing a fleeting moment of sanity from donnie. It was like a reality show but in reverse. Cutting out the stupid stuff he said instead of airing it.

This is a perfect example of why I absolutely refuse to follow or even read the New York Times. I'm done with the bullsh*t

They'll mind a lot when he makes a bad situation worse-- and a helluva lot more expensive!

I’m curious about the definition of “many.” I suppose it’s relative to the total number, perhaps. If I had 10 people in the house, that would be many.

"Many" and "Some" are doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

That’s an outright lie!

... NYT speaking the Trump classic bullshit. "Many people are telling me." Kind of shit ...

When will they stop?

This country is beyond Low IQ. Embarrassing.

What? No! Stop!!! NYT is talking to us like we're kindergartners...

And by "many Americans," they mean a few koolaid drinkers.

“Some voters said “ sounds a lot like “many people have said to me “ or “everyone knows that…”.

Did the onion buy the New York Times alone with infowars?

People with pre-existing conditions could be on the block.

Many Americans don’t mind….as long as he doesn’t shake up their health care

It's getting to the point where I can't distinguish between @nytpitchbot.bsky.social and the actual product.

Yup, until they lose their pre existing conditions

He wants to DENY healthcare

The Times went over the falls.

By shakeup they mean destroy. 🤦🏻‍♂️

And they everybody clapped. JFC they have no shame. Y'all are screwed.

Watch make he make polio hreat again and takes away their benefits

Holy moly

This is as good as it’s going to get. Media all in on Trump.

When I first moved to NYC in ‘91, the NYT was, above all, a resource for intelligent, well versed, educated and discerning individuals. Never in my wildest dreams would I have seen the NYT align itself with the likes of the National Enquirer, the Star, the Globe & the Sun.

But not in a good way

Hopefully they feel the effects first and the most.

Fealty. The world you're searching for is "fealty."

Maybe they have a secret bet to see who can write the worst opinion that they don't make an apology for. There is no other explanation.

Hey @nytimes.com since when does “many” = “some”?

They "don't mind" because they are stupid ignorant fools who watch Fox "news" and read and believe all the lies and disinformation in their X feeds. Elon Musk should have been arrested by now for using Twitter as a terroristic tool to elect a felon. Trump must NEVER be allowed to enter the WH.

You mean the many Americans who voted for him? Don’t include me in that cluster fuck of stupidity, thanks NYT I’ll make sure to line my bird cage with you kiss ass shitty paper

No credibility. Ranked right down there at the bottom with WSJ, LA Times, and virtually every major TV "news" program.

Yet. They don’t mind yet.

Right. A more accurate headline would have been, “DJT Has No Idea What He Wants To Do With Healthcare, Handed Reins of Nation’s Healthcare to Conspiracy Theorist Who Helped Him Get Elected”

Yep; also it’s a complete fabrication. Most Americans DO MIND. Part of the reason I unsubscribed from the NYT. It’s starting to sound more smutty, akin to the NY Post.

Mao wanted to shake things up in the 1960s. His Cultural Revolution resulted in 1-2 deaths. ' Trump's walking in Mao's footsteps.

politicalamericans.com/rfk-jr-blame...

I’d like to know who the “many Americans” are that they’re referring to - because that headline just seems like a big ‘ole crock of S#!t!

I think everyone needs to stop pretending the NYT hasn’t gone full fascist.

Cancel your subscription. Give attention to international newspapers. Wapo and NYT were lost a long time ago.

Can’t yall leave this ish on Twitter

Amazing how easy it is to throw the “baby out with the bath water.”

Brace yourselves for a possible 4 year pandemic run...

How many? Is it a Trump “many people” or is it many uninformed and/or uninterested people

Oh believe me, I effing mind.

Who are these many Americans?

I feel bad for this person. She couldn't save her father from cancer, and now she's a mark for charlatans offering quack cures

There are many many of them and it is so unfortunate. (visit the Detox, Antivaxx, Woo Insanity page, you will see it in all its grotesqueness) Medical misinformation is so viral and the effects are highlighted on this article. it will only get worse with RFK

I mind. I have survived several health issues & they are literally FN with our lives - if this goes completely sideways many will die

“Many Americans don’t mind” reads like tRump speak.

Until they need it

Those "many Americans" seem to be the same ones who come up to Donald, tears in their eyes, and tell him, "you have the best hair of any white man I've ever seen". Those guys.

Depressing.

Let’s see what “many Americans” think when they lose protections for ACA. Like preexisting conditions. Child able to be on parents insurance till 26. Etc. Sweet sweet Schadenfreude

Unfortunately, many Americans, including those of us on the ACA, who saw the threat and voted Blue to protect it will also suffer. Somehow the “pro-lifers” don’t seem to care about people who need the ACA to access healthcare, including kids.

I agree. My oldest is about to turn 18 and will lose insurance coverage. And can’t afford his own. It’s sad we suffer because of maga. I’ve seen comments that people hated Obamacare not realize it’s also the ACA. Ignorance hate bigotry racism and misogyny define the GQP. Just horrible.

I think our best hope is that enough people come to realize how devastating losing healthcare would be for millions, including people they know, leading to a pushback that might be loud enough for Republicans to hear.

But our readership is down, we wonder whyyyy. 🙄

Are we surprised?? Jesus it idiocy of it all - it’s truly disgusting!

Agreed

omg. vaccines are not frustrating. not being able to get them, and people not vaxing their fffkn kids, IS frustrating.

They forgot the 'some say' before 'Many'.

NYT needs to define 'some'..

The article cites 3 or 4 voters who are believers in non traditional medicine and homeopathic remedies for cancer There was also a spiritualist interviewed 🙄

I believe many people will mind in a few months.

We all most likely have some problem with the health INSURANCE system in this country. Anyone who thinks RFK Jr has any answers has a problem with reality.

Literally this...

#DawnBuckingham. #Texas TX Land Commissioner offering land for detention camps: (R) Candidate Resume Fraud File R-Candidate Caught Omitting Role In For-Profit University Tied To Predatory Fraud Of Veterans & Their GI Bill Money www.texasgopvote.com/education/da...

Which Americans are they referring to? Those in a coma on life support who can’t actually object?

The sane-washing is destroying what little is left of their integrity. Oh wait, it was gone long ago.

No! We the people do mind if Trump removes the exception for pre-existing conditions! Or screws with the ACA!🇺🇲

so much trash from @nytimes.com -- the headlines are especially egregious.

During the 2016 campaign, a reporter asked a black-lung coal miner why he was voting for Trump. He said “he’s gonna get rid of ObamaCare.” The reporter asked what insurance would he use to cover the black lung treatments. “It all good because I have that ACA insurance and it covers treatment.”

Never had a nyt subscription, but still feel I need to cancel it.

I almost want to resubscribe so I can cancel it again

Americans WILL care once they see their coverage cut by half if not more

AND they start dying from preventable diseases.

and it's too late

"Many Americans.."? Who'd they talk to? The independently wealthy? Who don't need healthcare? Jfc.

I'm frustrated with the US health care system so I'm going to listen to a former heroin user with zero medical training and will now believe in chemtrails.

Yeah, same as it ever was. How is it that questioning the efficacy of 60+ years of vaccine success is the equivalent of "shaking up healthcare?" Medical science is not the same thing as healthcare. Questioning the efficacy of for-profit healthcare in the US would be a more apt topic.

That’s precisely it. Question the delivery of healthcare but not the science behind it

Take my health benefits, I don’t mind. Dying poor has always been my dream.

Just boycott them - they never stop.

Last time he tried to “shake up” health care, he tried to abolish Obamacare. And we all know how that went

You saw the headline about Kash Patel’s “bravado,” no?

"Shake up" means destroy. Truly, legacy media has lost the plot. You don't normalize Trump. You can't. He's the criminal president. Full stop.

Herman Cain could not be reached for comment.

Don’t touch my Medicare. You can make it better but don’t make it worse.

Some voters think the earth is flat and injecting bleach into your bloodstream cures viruses. Not quoting these people is censorship, NYT. "The New York Times was dubbed "The Old Gray Lady" primarily due to its focus on objective facts." from Brainly. Now she's as senile as Trump.

Liberals and the left keep subscribing though

NYT has been cooking so long there's no meat left on them bones to need hiding their shame of/from I got no gas left for these dorks.

Jesus they must not be sick disabled or injured or have rare pain condition! Leave my health care alone !

"Shake up" translated: kill innumerable people by inviting back measles, polio, etc. And stopping research on various diseases. I cannot, simply cannot, believe this our life now. The Times notably sane washed so much of Trump's insanity while they went ballistic on Biden.

And many DO MIND!

NYT and all mainstream media can go eff themselves. Independent media is the way forward. ➡️ But, I'm taking AOC's advice and no longer sharing MSM's horrid op/eds or headlines precisely bc the MSM knows it gets more engagement when people (justifiably) rage reply/repost/share a link, etc.

These so-called "Patriots" have forgotten the true meaning of patriotism: "True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom, and equality for all people on earth" — Eleanor Roosevelt

American media hasn't gotten the memo that Trump's mission is to destroy every cherished thing. Humoring only provides access to what's most cherished for better smashing. I suggest planning to operate underground & from abroad. We ARE Nazi germany, only the calender isn't showing it yet.

If they did universal healthcare Democrats might never win another national election. This would be kinda funny actually.

Many Americans don’t know about a shakeup because it Trump’s hadn’t been discussed. Geez, if only they had debated more than once.

“The late, great Hannibal Lecter wanted to shake up end of life care. Many Americans don’t mind Trump implementing them.”

Well they don't mind until they are the ones facing their own mortality ...then suddenly they start caring and by then it's too late to change your tune

Wow, these folks had a chance last time DT ran things during Covid and maybe they should have ALL stuck lights up their anuses and injected chlorine into their veins, ending up in refrigerated trailers and mass graves around NYC. Was the New York Times around during that time?

Statistics show that the fatality rate was higher in Republican majority counties. Many MAGA did not survive Trump's 1st term.

Yet, they step on and over those red dead's to vote for DT again. What's that saying, doing the same stupid thing over and over again, expecting different results IS the definition of insanity. DT has claimed, "I love the uneducated." Truly a Confederacy of Dunces.

jeebus. yeah, many americans are frustrated with the system because they DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. which is NOT SOMETHINGTRUMP IS GOING TO GIVE THEM. trump et al have never given any semblance of a blueprint for americans getting affordable access to health care. do better, @nytimes.com

It’s not sanewashing. It is lying!

I was gonna go with gaslighting, but still

I feel like screaming

www.nytimes.com/2021/01/31/u... was looking through my archives and found this well sourced and thorough piece. What the F happened ?

Disgusting.

Fucking pitiful.

This is why I ended my subscription to both the NYT and WaPo

They say that now. Just you wait!

'Many Americans don't mind' 'Some voters said' 'Lots of people want to die bigly, of completely preventable illnesses'

Those some voters will cry when he manages to carve away at the ACA and they’re without insurance for their preexisting condition.

Rather than identifying this as sanewashing, I’m going with willful ignorance. The reporter presupposes that the potentially appealing policy is offered by an honest broker. It is not. Because it is not, the reporting is meaningless or just plain bad.

This reminds me of the magazines in the film, "They Live." Obey Worship $ Do not resist.

Everyone involved with this should have to submit to RFKs ‘new American health care’ first. Let these fucks be the guinea pings. Not the rest of us.

Need to tell them @nytimes.com

Not quite sure what sanewashing means, but yet this article just sounds very dystopian.

At some point there needs to be an acknowledgement that it's not about Dem or GOP messaging, it's that most voters don't know enough to understand what's going on. They don't know the difference between Fed and state responsibilities or who is actually trying to help them. It's tragic.

And it’s on them. Ignorance is not an excuse when you choose ignorance.

That's all well and good, but the problem is we all pay the price for uninformed decisions. We should be fighting Republicans who are opposed to a civics-savvy electorate to ensure people understand the consequences of the votes they cast - whichever party they choose.
