NYT blasted for negative reporting on Biden
"After President Joe Biden and Democrats in the House and Senate were closing an exceptional week of success after success on Saturday, pulling into a Senate vote that would transform the U.S. response to climate change, combat inflation, lower Medicare prescription drug prices and the federal deficit, and increase the energy supply, The New York Times published an article attacking the American president, depicting him as weak and ineffective, while speaking primarily, almost entirely, only to Republican pollsters, strategists, and politicians.
Critics, journalists, and even some New York Times readers are calling out the paper of record, and its top reporters.
"In Senate Battle, Democrats Defy Biden’s Low Standing (for Now)" was the title of the Saturday article that essentially was a megaphone for the MAGA crowd, published in the Times' politics section.
The article's subhead made clear what readers could expect: “'The billion-dollar question,' as one Republican pollster put it, is whether Democratic candidates in crucial Senate races can continue to outpace the president’s unpopularity.”
"In a Senate split 50-50," wrote the Times' Shane Goldmacher and Maggie Haberman, "Democrats on the campaign trail and in Congress have zero margin for error as the party tries to navigate a hostile political environment defined chiefly by President Biden’s albatross-like approval ratings,"

No surprise, Maggie Haberman is one of the authors of this rubbish.
This is the same crap they did to Hillary in 2016.
