Funny - at this point, when I see an article that sort of backhandedly promotes Trump or undermines Harris - just enough careful bias to be recognizable but not enough to be objectionable (like serving the Trump campaign's interests and their obvious desired PR spin by helping them distance themselves from Project 2025 while also downplaying its very real threat by characterizing it merely as "a conservative initiative seized on by Democrats"), I just immediately assume that it's the NYT. And it inevitably is.

Edit to add - I should've made clear - it's not their bias that bothers me so much as their cowardice.

They still have people like Maggie Haberman on staff, so yeah, not a shock.
