Good to see people calling out NYT for their nonsense
I’m glad they’re doing it. This sane-washing shit drives me crazy. You constantly see headlines saying things like “Trump proposes new policy making guaranteeing sunshine and rainbows for everyone” when in reality, a Trump supporter asked him about lowering food prices and he went in a 15 minute rant that included him saying “and I am the best at sunshine, the sunshine loves me… and don’t even get me started at the rainbows… my communist opponent hates rainbows but not me, the rainbows said ‘sir, you are the best at sunshine and rainbows, more than anyone has ever seen’.”
I don’t know if “sane-washing” is the right term. It seems more like they are working as campaign staff to spin a message out of his ramblings.
If they were interested in journalism, they’d say that Trump’s plan to lower food prices is to love rainbows and receive love from sunshine. You know, just stating the facts. The term “sane-washing” to me infers that the entity doing the sane-washing is a journalist and not a campaign staffer.
Bit late for that tbh
“That they even asked this question is evidence of the bias — the agenda — in their poll. Who made age an ‘issue’? The credulous Times falling into the right-wing’s projection. This is not journalism. Shameful," Jeff Jarvis posted on Threads. He’s currently the Leonard Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation at the CUNY Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, Darcy pointed out.
Complaints grew more recently after the Times paraphrased Trump’s rambling non-answer while speaking to The Economic Club of New York. In the report, the Times reshaped his language to make sense of what he said. The reality of the comments was that none of it made sense, according to critics.
They were accused of “sane-washing” Trump’s comments.
Fascinating and predictable that the Times (or anyone else) hasn’t mentioned it. Linked posts show pictures etc.
Readers left online complaints and cancelled subscriptions before direct protests began. Their demand, according to one civil rights lawyer, is to stop “sane-washing” Trump.
The activists had bright yellow signs with words the Times has avoided using in reports such as “lies,” “convict” and “felon.” The group had one large black banner across the group reading “stop normalizing Trump.”
Fucking beautiful.
Wish I could have joined them. I am disgusted by clickbait media.
NYT has normalized Trump and has continued to spread a significant amount of misinformation and bigotry, including platforming known transphobic bigots. I doubt they’ll change anything because you have to “be fair”. I’m just glad my mom has stopped supporting them.

They would do better to protest at Bezos’ mansions. He’s the owner…
Are they also going to protest outside of every other media outlet that ever existed?
I approve of that. Gotta start somewhere, though.
Imagine this being your biggest critique of the nyt 😆
Also this protest had about 15 people, lmao
Kind of a weird comment
They changed it after the fact like a pussy too lol.
Imagine being cool with pedo felon weirdos being normalized in the news.
Yeah it’s a news outlet that’s been celebrating and endorsing the slaughter of children for decades. “Oh no they normalized orange man”!!!
Oh no, sweetie. You didn’t get the memo. Genocide is totally ok as long as it’s Democrats that are arming the effort. Actually: don’t even mention this fact. Like, EVER!
You see, it’s more important that Democrats win than it is to protect the innocent in another country. You don’t even see those horrors in person! Don’t worry about it!! 🤣
DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT!! 😠
Do you remember when we used to be able to be friends with people of different political beliefs instead of insulting each other over trivial bullshit? And I mean both sides. You know this is exactly what they want, right? If we’re busy fighting each other then we won’t have enough energy to fight actual problems with the system.
No? Growing up around conservatives I remember them talking a whole lot of shit. If they thought you were a liberal that shit would get directed at you. Things weren’t quite as bad back then compared to now, but they were still whiny hateful assholes.
They were as bad, but there weren’t so many. Most of them weren’t “activated” yet.

Can you name some problems with the system?
The fact that the SCOTUS can basically do whatever the fuck they want, the electoral college making elections basically pointless if you live in the opposite area as your political views, Gerrymandering, a legislative branch that never gets anything done, a government that shuts down whenever people don’t agree instead of solving issues, and a two party system that just gives people two shitty choices just to name a few.
I shouldn’t really have to list all the problems with the system when we all deal with the consequences on a daily basis regardless of which party you are affiliated with. We are all getting constantly fucked but spend all our time bitching at our neighbors about which side of the political spectrum they are on when it’s just as fucked no matter who is in charge.
No please keep listing the problems :)
What did Democrats do about these systemic issues when they controlled Congress?
Well I’m glad you missed the point of what I was talking about entirely
