I hope the Pulitzer Prize committee is paying attention, because on May 14 the New York Times dropped some bombshell reporting that should make blood run cold for every American, heck, every citizen of the world.
The self-described paper of record in a story bylined by three of its reporters at the top of the Mount Everest of journalism Michael D. Shear, Katie Rogers, and Annie Karni uncovered that Joe Biden is obsessed with details and gets angry when his subordinates dont bring their A game.
Truly shocking stuff.
Aides say he demands hours of debate from scores of policy experts, the Times notes, as if that wasnt what over 81 million people voted for in November 2020.
Discussing Bidens attitude when aides dont bring him clear and precise answers, the Times drops this shocker: Lets talk plain English here, he will often snap.
Reporter Michael Shear put an exclamation point on the Times framing by tweeting out the story with SHORT FUSE in caps to make it clear what the paper is trying to do here.

I'm pretty certain that the ninja level drama queen definition of "snap" applies here.
