The incident is reminiscent of the NYT's story on the Parkinson's expert visiting the WH eight times: a non story intimating a cover-up, but run anyway to fuel the "Biden is old" feeding frenzy

In both cases the effort directed against D candidates is partly aimed at positioning the NYT as objective and/or "not liberal" – these things are more or less the same in the current NYT approach

It's interesting because the NYT is already effectively branded as "not conservative" but it has to go out of its way / compromise its own standards / stick its thumb in the eye of its own audience to get that coveted "not liberal" positioning

And the NYT reporter who was the loudest at pushing that story out, Peter Baker, is still doing this 👇 in the past two months. 😒
