This is genuinely the sort of thing that should get somebody fired from a news org.

Wonder how much trump campaign paid for that?

It’s almost as if the debate didn’t even influence the article at all. Weird…how could that be?! Really weird.

More evidence of the NYT being in the tank for Trump.

Well, it is Ross Douthat

I know that this is going to fall on deaf ears but maybe it’s time to call bull on the idea of the fourth estate being relevant to a functioning democratic republic. What can normal humans do to wipe this stain from society?

The first thing you say after reading something by ross douthat is “ross I doubt that!”

Ross Douthat is even worse than Peter Baker. He writes this drivel because he’s a beta who fears that if Trump wins or seizes power, his writings will save his ass.
No, they won’t. He’ll be on the same bus to the re-education camp with Keith Olbermann and the others who have the courage to condemn Trump’s fascism. Trump isn’t going to save anyone but himself.

Douthat is not worthy of the Times.

I would imagine he’ll claim this was some kind of mistake, but I Douthat.

ross is no conservative. trump represents a radical fascist vision built on total lies, and no self respecting traditional conservative would endorse any of this. Like George Will who hates trump with a passion. This article shows what a fucking soulless propagandist ross is, a fraud pretending to be a conservative.

When did NYT become a right wing shill? I always thought it was the real news you could trust paper.

I remember watching that Obama/Romney debate. Obama was somewhat unfocused, but it was the day of his wedding anniversary and I don’t think he took Romney seriously enough. Of course, during the subsequent debates Obama made Romney look like a complete fool by forcing him to repeat right-wing talking points in front of an audience and debunking them in real time.
The bar republicans set for Vance seems to have been that he didn’t fart audibly or scream the “n” word during the debate so he won.

Douthat is a right wing shill whose schtick is to pretend to be reasonable, but he always supports the fascist side of things.

And MAGA will still unironically tell you that the media is biased against them.

The way the URI is structured, my bet is that they had the template directory for this preloaded in 9/25 and boiler plates for a quick update after the debate.
Can’t say for sure, if that was the case still extremely sloppy structure of URIs.
If that’s not the case, someone is taking a page from Murdoch’s book of paying off the papers.
At the same time, didn’t NYT endorse Kamala this week?

NYT needs to just go ahead and start selling commemorative coins and exclusive limited time offers. Bunch of hacks.

this was LITERALLY a satire post from a satire profile last week.
now its just real life lol satire is truly dead.

There isn’t a MAGA alive who isn’t an absolute sycophant to Trump. Russ Douhout is certainly no exception.

No, go ahead. Overhype his debate performance and make him the nominee in 2028. He’ll do so well. He’s so well liked.

Newspapers always write both outcomes beforehand and put the most relevant one. No this is not reporting, it’s entertainment

This seems to have happened a lot around this debate…seems like a rookie error for a bunch of well practiced charlatans

That’s just straight up journalistic malpractice right there

No credibility. It’s gone. They are clearly beholden to moneyed interests, not journalism. The Gray Lady is dead.

Cult leader would approve. This is like declaring election victory before votes are counted. Fucking losers.
