Via Meidas Touch:

outperforms polls and wins with over 96% of the vote in South Carolina.

NYT: “an uncertain measure of wider enthusiasm…”

underperforms polls and wins with just 54% of the vote in New Hampshire.

NYT: “made history” “builds on his momentum”

@GottaLaff This kind of reporting is being repeated in other countries’ media and undermining faith in Biden. Some of my smartest, best-read Japanese students are telling me that Biden should drop out because he’s too old; otherwise Trump might get in again. I don’t know how to make them understand that they shouldn’t believe the NYT, that most famous and venerable newspaper.

@roque Oy. How democracy ends.

@GottaLaff they need those GOP subs to be afloat, they can be less rosy about dems, they know they won't be that picky.
Also who cares, Biden crushes it with actual voting. Polls are getting wrong by each year, for obvious reasons.

the NYT is suitable for pet cage lining and that's about it.

The NYT trying to create suspense- as the media succeeded in doing in 2020- where there isn't any in what may be a blowout for Biden?

How about… media bias.

@GottaLaff the news doesn’t represent the reality on the ground anymore, and is mostly weaponized information intended to influence rather than inform.

Witness also the remarkable and quite deliberate under-reporting of large numbers who voted other than Trump in the NH GOP primary, saying they will not vote Trump in the GE. This shows how desperate corporate media is to prevent an absolute total implosion of the Republican Party.

The GOP is finished.

Deeply offensive. I dumped that lying shit rag years ago.

@GottaLaff I unsubscribed from NYT a couple years ago. This kind of reportage had become their norm. Infuriating.

@Barbramon1 All press is infuriating now. There is some good reporting even from the worst, but my god, shape up, News!

I used to think morning news was just like the news in 'Don't Look Up". I think it's all like that now

@GottaLaff Our media are so broken - just when we need them most

@kshapar I was just saying that to someone. It's anti democratic and dangerous as hell.

@GottaLaff @kshapar How can our democracy survive if the electorate is kept ignorant?

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@kshapar It can't unless we educate voters.

@GottaLaff @kshapar Exactly- which makes what you and Nicole do all the more important
