  Every day the NYT sends me a summary email. Every day there is a status on impeachment. They dont even call him president, its Mr Trump. The bias is obvious. They would like me to pay for more!

    I agree, I will happily pay for news, but most of these "news" outlets are just a bunch of opinions and usually they are all one way or the other depending on the editor.

    The NYT has referred to presidents as Mr. X for hundreds of years

      To bolster the claim, "Mr. Obama, Your Move" (2014): https://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/opinion/sunday/mr-obama-your-move.html https://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/opinion/sunday/mr-obama-y... And more historical, "Another Interview with Mr. Lincoln; His Opinion of Compromises" (1861) https://www.nytimes.com/1861/01/14/archives/anotherinterview-with-mr-lincoln-his-opinion-of-compromises.html https://www.nytimes.com/1861/01/14/archives/anotherinterview...

    "President" isn't a title, it's a position or role. You don't say "Director Spielberg will be in attendance."
