I really don’t understand the Grey Lady, outside of as a floridly schizzophrenic purveyor of important investigative journalism and a reality shaping distortion lense.

Desperate Dems, in disarray, failing, turn to unpopular Biden for salvation. You read it in the paper of record, it must be true. Fuck me.
On the other hand, the predictable betrayal by corporate Democrats of policies to solve problems most people in the country share, based on polling, right-wing talking points and fundraising from wealthy donors, is not something that can be whitewashed, no matter how many fearful white people show up with buckets of white paint, or however plainly the influential Grey Lady paints it.
