Where does the Times come up with the ideas for these cockamamie stories?

Luke Broadwater makes SAVE sound so anodyne:
But even if the bill offers the president little hope of changing policy, it does offer an appealing political calculus: At a time when voters are deeply concerned about high prices amid his war with Iran, the fight over the legislation allows him to try to shift focus to more favorable ground for Republicans.
At its core, the SAVE America Act, as passed by the House, would require voters to prove their citizenship in person upon registration, ban IDs without a photo at polling places and criminalize failures to enforce such requirements.
On the same page (A20) of Saturday's print edition, the Times buries this excerpt at the end of SAVE 'explainer'.
So it is clear that the bill creates additional requirements for voters to prove their citizenship and identity, barriers that for some would incur additional costs or be insurmountable. Because the bill is vague on many details and would leave states to interpret and adopt some of its provisions, it is difficult to estimate the exact effect, Ms. Sweren-Becker said.
But she added, “It’s certainly safe to say that the SAVE America Act would block millions of eligible American citizens from voting.”
That's voter suppression in a nutshell.
