Leave it to the New York Times to come up with an incorrect and exceedingly lame headline

New York Times, 3/6/2024

(A different online headline still misses the mark.)

Salon, 3/5/2024

As a longtime reader of the Times, I can say with assurance that the newspaper's political coverage has become increasingly off the mark during the past few years.   (And IVF is now a political story.)

Two things — check that, three things — appear to have gone off the rails at the paper we used to call the Gray Lady. First, whoever is in charge of the paper’s polls is not doing their job. Second, whoever is choosing what to emphasize in Times coverage of the campaign for the presidency is showing bias. Third, the Times is obsessed with Joe Biden’s age at the same time they’re leaving evidence of Donald Trump’s mental and verbal stumbles completely out of the news.

 Apparently, the word 'authoritarian' -- or any or its variants -- is verboten at the Times.  At least that's the case with this piece.
