The New York Times Publisher A.G. Sulzberger said Monday that the White
House is “extremely upset” about its coverage on President Joe Biden’s age
but the newspaper will “continue to report fully and fairly.”
“We are going to continue to report fully and fairly, not just on Donald
Trump but also on President Joe Biden,” Sulzberger said in an interview
with The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism.
“He is a historically unpopular incumbent and the oldest man to ever hold
this office. We’ve reported on both of those realities extensively, and
the White House has been extremely upset about it.”
Criticism over coverage of Biden’s low approval ratings and, more
especially, Biden’s age has sparked disapproval both from the Biden
campaign and some members of the press. News stories of Biden’s age gained
even more traction among the press as special counsel Robert Hur wrote in
his recent report, entirely without prompting, that Biden was “an elderly
man with a poor memory.”
Last week, former New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan said she
found the coverage of this news, specifically in her old Times haunt,
completely overcooked.
Sullivan wrote that she wishes that Sulzberger would instruct his opinion
editor and the top news editor to cease “going overboard with both
coverage and commentary about Biden’s age” and “tone it down.”
“We are not saying that this is the same as Trump’s five court cases or
that they are even,” Sulzberger said in the interview. “They are
different. But they are both true, and the public needs to know both those
things. And if you are hyping up one side or downplaying the other, no
side has a reason to trust you in the long run.”

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.
No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.
Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.
Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.

No ... it will do an occasional soft-ish bash piece
