NYT tomorrow: Why Donald Trump’s Cognitive Decline Could Cost Harris Election

“Trumps slurring and inability to stay on topic are part of a much larger problem that paints a picture of cognitive decline. This is why it will probably cost Biden a solution to Gaza…..”- NYT probably

There is nothing new about the NYT’s ethical flexibility. I did an analysis of their position on war in Vietnam from 1954 to 1967. It wasn’t until public opinion was solidly against the war that they questioned the wisdom of that sad adventure. NYT is a follower and has never led.

We can mock the New York Times and question its motivations, but at least they have written an article that addresses what is perhaps the most damaging risk of a Donald Trump being elected, a totally mentally incompetent person sitting in the oval office. To be very old, probably physically decrepit, and clearly shifting towards senility deserves all the headlines the established media can give it.

Too late. You’ve already helped to install our new God King. Excellent work New York Times.

>Interestingly, in Sunday’s piece, the Times calls Trum’s condition a “cognitive change,” while the story’s URL says it’s “cognitive decline.” Even in this instance, it’s likely a telling hedge.
Oh that’s not a hedge. They caught them red handed trying to convert a bad headline into equivocal to help trump. Fuck The NY Times

Brit here. If there were one US newspaper/website that gave a fair and balanced view of the candidates and the election which would it be?
I wouldn’t mind paying for the election period just to follow the news.

Tinfoil hat time. NYT and other big news sources have the green light to report this because it sets him up retiring or being forced out of he wins the election, clearing the way for President Vance. It would also explain why Musk just showed up as a cheerleader at a rally. Trump retires, gets pardoned by Vance for everything under the sun, Vance shuts down any current DoJ investigations, and Musk/Thiel get their guy in the big chair.
And if Donald doesn’t want to give up the throne? 25th Amendment time. After all the NYT called Trump’s mental state into question…

You know the NYT has seen the writing in the wall, when Maggie F***ing Haberman said some unflattering things about Trump on the NYT’s flagship podcast, The Daily, last week. She’s been the Trump standardbearer / apologist on the NYT for at least 8 years.

Journalism has truly been revealed as a compromised joke thanks to Bush & Trump.

It’s his penchant for violence they should be focused on, but more importantly, to focus on all of those who stand firm and brave against his threats. That Trump has cognitive issues is obvious and pales in comparison to the depths of his darkness.

Just more press getting Americans ready for the hand over to JD after the first month of trump’s presidency. Trump has become a Trojan horse to get JD and project 2025 to steam roll America.

But that’s too easy if you’re the Times, an institution that has never met a story it couldn’t water down. Rather than give it to you straight, the paper of record has opted, as ever, to give you its patented strain of prestige clickbait.
The Times cares more about its place in the power structure than in actually affecting that power structure. It gladly cedes prominent column space to bad faith politicians who would like to eradicate whole demographics of the American population. It dabbles in trans panic as a sort of weird hobby. And it scoffs at criticism from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party while going out of its way to heed criticism from a Republican Party that would drop a load of napalm on Times headquarters if ever given the authority
No one who knows Blumenthal or The Grayzone was surprised by this: They have a history of denying war crimes committed by Russia, China and the Assad regime in Syria, so this new episode was almost unavoidable. The Grayzone denied the March 2022 massacre by Russian soldiers in Bucha, Ukraine, and accused the Syrian aid group the White Helmets of war crimes that were actually committed by the Assad regime.
But since many people don’t know Blumenthal, and some people who know him are still ready to believe him about Israel, I want to expose the deceptive methods in his article. Blumenthal has two goals in his piece:

I’m going to be honest: even IF I was predisposed to agree with your premise before reading the article, if you have a massive typo in your first or second short paragraph I am going to immediately disqualify the article as unserious. I might even disqualify all articles by that source.
Do better.
For clarity: I’m referring to along versus alone.

NYT had always played it super safe and not rock the boat. The fact that they are actually jumping ship means even the zealously cautious media outlets can’t ignore Trump’s obvious decline.

I’ve been a subscriber for years but no longer read their domestic political coverage. Of all the things a newspaper could take a stand on or do crusading journalism for the Times did it to get Biden out of the race after the debate. But Trump and Republican lawlessness continues to be normalized and largely gets a pass. It’s mind-boggling.
