Was anyone surprised that George Clooney' essay calling for Biden to exit the race, was published in the New York Times?

1. Nothing coming from the fascist NYT is surprising.

2. No surprise anymore but have to wonder about the Israel factor

What's up with that at the NYT? I'd think they'd be against what Amal Clooney wanted to do with Bibi. All very strange.

3. Did he take into account that Biden had been traveling overseas and flew in from Italy

then to the White House then to L.A. for the fundraiser? He was in France prior to that, then back to the states for 2 days, then off to Italy, then back to the states. I mean c'mon.

The fundraiser was on June 15th.

4. Just to be mean

If he think Biden 2024 isnt Biden 216. Well, look in the mirror dude. George hasn't exactly been burning up the box office since 2016. While Biden's been a great president the last four years, George has been cranking out mostly forgettable dreck that's been forgotten.

5. Ain't that the truth.

Had he looked in the mirror? Is he still the same as four years ago?

6. If someone wants their viewpoint known they would hope to be published in the NYT.

There are two "national" newspapers. NYT and the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ has the highest circulation with the Times 2nd. The WaPost is sorta 3rd in that category but it does not have the national circulation that the other two have.

So of course Clooney would try to have his views published there.
