The news that Hunter Biden's main accuser and the source of breathless media coverage about the possibility of the House impeaching Joe Biden based on this source's tale of a $5 million bribe funneled to the then VP was arrested and charged with lying to the FBI should have been front page news. Instead, the NYT put the story on page 16.
The right has written off the mainstream media, especially newspapers, since that requires their cult members to actually read. The Times' readership therefore expects a truthful, factual account of the story it is covering. In an effort to keep the horserace narrative alive, this requires legacy media outlets like the Times to minimize the news that favors Biden and maximize that favorable to the Orange Voldemort. I guess the prospect of covering 4 more years of tRump chaos rather than 4 more years of good governance is enticing to their bottom line. But you would think the imminent death of democracy in the wake of a tRump victory might curb their enthusiasm for Cheeto Jesus.
