I'd hope that the @nytimes newsroom is studying these headlines RIGHT NOW to see how absolutely off the mark they are. This toxic mix of sanewashing trump while denigrating Harris for simply being a good politician is really, really dangerous and just plain wrong. https://t.co/qetajKyYzz

I wrote for the @nytimes for more than 20 years and never saw headline lunacy like this (of course I was there before the company disbanded its copy desk). See below… https://t.co/laU3xEuRqU

Large, shameful factual error: “The Snake” is not an anti-immigrant poem. It’s a 1963 song by a Black civil-rights activist, Oscar Brown. Trump reads its lyrics as an anti-immigration parable, but they have nothing whatsoever to do with immigration. @IanPrasad, cc @Rogene. pic.twitter.com/gcIXjS9RdX

"Fascination" is the usual euphemism and the headline is designed to be inoffensive to Trump (also as usual), this time by failing to name racism as the reason for his preoccupation with the genes of migrants. https://t.co/5n1XcSCSzY

If the NYT still had a public editor, there would be a way to get an explanation of this headline, this framing, this story itself. https://t.co/LsRxy6oDaz

This is how the conventions of mainstream journalism skew the political discourse. @Nytimes puts on its front page news of the latest poll (w/ a result within the margin of error) & puts the story on Harris’ plan to expand Medicare for home health care to help millions on p. A12. pic.twitter.com/NBAwaag2Gj

Here’s the New York Times describing a lying fascist lawmaker as “proud and combative.” The Times is doing storytelling instead of truth telling. pic.twitter.com/jdFWsFqRpZ
