NYT is in favor of Israel. They'll whitewash any president who bombs middle-eastern countries. You do that by sanely discussing what's obviously horrendous war crimes, and by making "both sides" arguments.

It would almost make more sense if it were about supporting Israel. The reality is that the NYT and other outlets frequently behave this way across a wide spectrum of issues, foreign and domestic. They cut Trump an utterly astonishing amount of slack, much more than they would ever grant to any other politician. There are a couple of references below to start with, but if you do a search on Trump sanewashing you'll be overwhelmed with them. 1: https://margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/about-those-new-york-times-headlines https://margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/about-those-new-york... 2: https://mediabiasdetector.seas.upenn.edu/blog/sanewashing-in-the-media-the-coverage-that-normalizes-trump-s/ https://mediabiasdetector.seas.upenn.edu/blog/sanewashing-in...

  >They cut Trump an utterly astonishing amount of slack, much more than they would ever grant to any other politician Wasn't expecting this kind of political comedy on HN but thanks for the laugh. We talking about the same guy who got politically slandered straight faced for years for a sleazy joke while playing a character on a fictional TV show where actors playing parody and mythical character fake jump on each other from cages and ladders.

    He was ruled by a court of law to have raped E Jean carol. You’re here complaining that a rapist isn’t being treated as well as you’d like.
