What’s wrong with the New York Times? Headline sanewashes Trump’s Nazi rhetoric

 
Headline:  New York Times, 10/9/2024

And we have to wait until paragraph 12 for the reporter to note the connection.
His remarks on Monday in some ways echoed his repeated assertion last year that undocumented immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country,” a phrase criticized by many for evoking the ideology of eugenics promulgated by Nazis in Germany and white supremacists in the United States. Mr. Trump has defended his use of that phrase by saying he was “not a student of Hitler,” even as a number of news articles, biographers and books about his presidency have documented his long interest in Hitler. He has largely stopped using the poisoning-the-blood phrase.  [emphasis added]


But wait, there's more!  Much more.
