It looks as if the New York Times is taking their orders from the Deep State. They want Biden gone… but still
Just the Facts:
- The New York Times publisher, A. G. Sulzberger, revealed the White House is displeased with the newspaper’s coverage of President Biden, particularly regarding concerns about his age.
- Sulzberger emphasized that the Times aims to state the truth “fully and plainly” without being overly emotional, asserting their independence from being anyone’s opposition or supporter.
- The Times intends to continue reporting “fully and fairly” on both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, noting Biden’s status as a historically unpopular incumbent and the oldest person to hold the office, which has reportedly upset the White House.
- While acknowledging the controversies surrounding Trump, Sulzberger stated that the issues with Biden are different but still true, emphasizing the importance of balanced reporting for public trust.
- The White House has expressed concern over media coverage following a special counsel report that highlighted Biden’s memory lapses, with a White House spokesperson criticizing some media reports and questions from reporters as inaccurate or based on false premises.
- Despite the scrutiny and suggestions from some pundits, including those at the Times, that Biden should not seek reelection due to these concerns, Biden has defended his memory and insisted he is the best candidate to face Trump.
The NY Times may allow some attacks on Biden, but they still go full force against Trump. Even in their attacks on Biden, they manage to show their intense bias against President Trump. Newsbusters says ‘NY Times on President Brains: ‘Careful Diagnosis’ for Biden, Reckless with Trump. A gross double standard was on display in the New York Times regarding two presidents, Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump, each facing accusations of being too old and having memory lapses. Times reporter Gina Kolata recently defended President Biden, “Memory Loss Requires Careful Diagnosis, Scientists Say.” The subhead continued: “A federal investigator said that President Biden had “poor memory” and “diminished faculties.” But such a diagnosis would require close medical assessment, experts said.” Expert Shopping is in!

The publisher of The New York Times, A.G. Sulzberger, recently disclosed that the White House has expressed dissatisfaction with the newspaper’s recent coverage, particularly a series of opinion articles focusing on President Joe Biden’s age and fitness for a second term. Despite the White House’s displeasure, Sulzberger emphasized the newspaper’s commitment to reporting impartially.
“Most good journalists have a little bit of a *contrarian streak* because they always wonder what they’re missing in the story. They’re always wondering if someone’s lying. That’s part of the job!” ~ A. G. Sulzberger- Kiko Llaneras
In an interview with the Reuters Institute, Sulzberger, who has served as the publisher for six years, acknowledged the White House’s strong reaction to their coverage of President Biden, describing him as a historically unpopular incumbent and the oldest person to assume the presidency. He defended the newspaper’s reporting on these aspects, citing the need for the public to be informed about both positive and negative aspects of political figures.
The criticism from the White House has garnered disapproval not only from the Biden campaign but also from certain members of the press. Special counsel Robert Hur’s independent report, characterizing Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory, further intensified media attention on the issue.

Former New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan criticized the coverage, believing it had been sensationalized. Sullivan urged Sulzberger to instruct the newspaper’s opinion editor and top news editor to reduce coverage and commentary on Biden’s age.
Responding to the criticism, Sulzberger clarified that maintaining public trust in The New York Times while avoiding disproportionate coverage is essential. He emphasized that the newspaper is not equating Biden’s situation with former President Trump’s legal challenges but aims to provide comprehensive coverage of both realities.
The focus of recent opinion pieces in The New York Times has been on Biden’s age, cognitive abilities, and suitability for a second term. Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, while not recommending charges, highlighted Biden’s diminished faculties, contributing to concerns about his ability to hold office until age 86.
Been thinking about these comments from the New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger. Biden's bad poll numbers and age aren't developing stories, like Trump's trials. So you're really just running a lot of perception stories so that the volume of the two are close to equal pic.twitter.com/W2aSaMZgsy

The newspaper’s Editorial Board published an opinion piece titled “The Challenges of an Aging President,” expressing concern about Biden’s cognitive sharpness and temperament. They emphasized the need for Biden to address these concerns, especially given the high stakes in the upcoming presidential election.
Additional opinion pieces by Maureen Dowd and political analyst Ross Douthat further criticized Biden’s handling of his age and health issues. Dowd argued that Biden’s team’s attempts to obscure signs of senescence have been unsuccessful, while Douthat suggested that Biden should not seek re-election due to perceived frailty.

Biden’s history of verbal stumbles and physical frailty, including multiple instances of tripping and confusion, has raised alarms. Critics argue that these incidents, combined with frequent verbal gaffes, undermine public confidence in his ability to fulfill the duties of the presidency.
The debate surrounding Biden’s age and fitness for a second term underscores the challenges faced by the Biden administration and the media in navigating nuanced coverage while maintaining public trust. The New York Times remains committed to providing comprehensive and fair reporting, despite facing criticism from both the White House and certain members of the press. At least that is their public face. We all know the insane around of bias that comes from the outlet. They have done all they can to stop Americans from knowing the truth on many issues, including the whole Russia, Russia, Russia scam on President Trump. Not many in MAGA trust them in any way now, and they would truly have to revamp their operation to ever get the trust of the American people back.

- Believe it’s called reporting. And I’ve followed Bidens career for nearly 40 years. Was close to being on his online team in the 2008 run but no budget. So stories about his age don’t worry if they’re balanced with his achievements- Stuart O’Neill
- Obviously they want Trump to win- Bev
- It’s not his AGE. It’s his dementia that is concerning- Andrew McIntyre
- White House unhappy with media coverage of Biden’s health Recently, The New York Times Chairman Arthur Sulzberger said that the White House is “extremely upset” by the fact that the president’s age, and especially his health, is receiving so much attention in the media, Politico reports. The government thinks that they are focusing too much attention on this fact. For example, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan believes that journalists are going overboard with “coverage and commentary on Biden’s age.” In response, Sulzberger noted that his publication intends to cover Biden and Trump equally. Because it will be “fair”, because the public should know. Trump is already constantly criticized for lawsuits against him. Joe Biden, on the other hand, is “historically unpopular” and “is the oldest person ever to hold office.” So the topic of his health and age should be covered in the media- S p r i n t e r
