Jeff Tiedrich - New York Times, ICE Barbie and Ken Paxton: three failures failing

hey, here’s a super-cool thing The New York Times is doing to defend democracy: jack shit.

don’t look so surprised. the Times never said that defending democracy was their job. in fact, they stated quite the opposite, just about one year ago.

the Times then went out of their way to prove it, by sanewashing the shit out of Donny’s incoherent blitherings about sharks and boats and batteries and Hannibal Lecter wants to have you for dinner. at the same time that was going on, the Times was waging a jihad against Joe Biden, because nepo-publisher Arthur Gregg Sulzberger got his fee-fees hurt when Joe refused to sit for an interview.

and now, six months into the reign of Mad King Donny, the Times continues to fail us.
