Actually, if you have been paying attention you would have noticed that the NYT was/ is very favorable towards Trump lately, like a headline that suggests Biden's age is worse than Trump’s threat to NATO, and a story about Trump threatening to abandon NATO allies and encourage Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” was the 4th story on the New York Times website, under 2 stories about Biden being old.
So much for the Times being Biden's mouthpiece.
Right, when I said that the Times was the mouthpiece of the government, I guess I gave the impression that I was referring to whoever is sitting in the White House.
In fact I should have said that they are the mouthpiece of the people who actually run the country. If these people think that Trump will be better for their bottom line, they will of course write favorably of Trump.
My mistake.
