I get what you're saying - and I agree - but surely there's factual information in there? May not agree precisely with how it's presented but like many things, there's no black and white but rather shades of grey.

My takeaways are :

  1. NYT agenda is loud and clear. They didn't make anything up of course, but they decided to choose this which portrays specifics (GOP) in negative light. This has been well known for a while, I lost trust in the publication overall after the Hillary exaltations. BUT I still do enjoy good writing and the good journalists, NYT really has one of the few budgets still existing today to pay decent money to talented journalists.

  2. The GOP lies the most, not in an insulting way, but in a "big points minimal risk" way. Majority of GOP field hawks Reaganesque snake oil promises that make voters feel good, telling them that they "get it" and "we're gonna turn back the clock and restore America's golden years, the ones you remember growing up," even though this is simply not possible because of globalism.

If I cherry picked my statements on the 4 major candidates I could prove they all were as truthful as my mother, or, prove everything that came out of their mouth was a lie. Consider the source and the messenger.
