Mara Gay is part of NY Times Editorial Board

Saw short spot of her on Morning Joe.

She seems negative about Joe staying on. Unless otherwise proven different I'm going to be negative about her.

2. The NYT has been anti-Biden all along, just as they were anti-Hillary.

I’m sure every board member and all journalists have been pressured to write articles and opinions calling for Biden to step aside. The Post is doing the same.

I’ve seen no such concerted efforts to derail Trump’s campaign, even after his multiple convictions for sexual assault, corporate fraud, and personal fraud intended to influence the 2016 election. Our major media is now just as corrupt as Trump, so we should just assume that they will do everything possible to try to influence voters to abandon Biden and vote for Trump. Republicans have already promised another massive tax cut for the wealthy if Trump wins. It is money driving the media owners, not journalistic ethics.

That’s the part that I don’t get about blaming the media for the debate.

The media is always waiting for a clusterfuck, for a melt down, for anything they can pounce on.

9. That has never been true about newspapers.

They have always pushed their ideological perspective.

TV broadcasters had to adhere to the fairness doctrine which required equal time for all viewpoints, and in doing so they generally avoided any partisan positions in order to not have to provide free airtime for different opinions.
