Shortly ahead of President Biden’s State of the Union address, the New York Times helped the White House spread the “he’s crushing it” narrative: “The events of the past week have for now pushed to the sidelines the congressional squabbling over President Biden’s domestic agenda, and are already redefining the arc of his presidency.”
The Times is also proving itself to be a tremendous narrative asset to the Biden administration when it comes to high gas prices. How’s this for a “fact-check”?
The primary reason for rising gas prices is the pandemic and its disruptions to global supply and demand. Not President Biden's policies, as Republicans claim. https://t.co/g1gVcpdkNN

A certain somebody couldn’t have done it any better herself!
Seems Psaki got the keys to the Times’ Twitter acct https://t.co/zKVuFYjq2o

Frankly it’s a little surprising that Psaki didn’t clip and copy that article to hand out at today’s briefing.
This is an in-kind political contribution. This is partisan campaign literature https://t.co/kC0lmDTlsb

We’re looking forward to seeing how the voters weigh in when the midterms roll around.
They think you are stupid. https://t.co/w32t8S8tJr

This administration’s strategy is one of hope, which means that they hope everybody’s dumb enough to automatically believe what they say.
Portraying partisan opinions as objective facts. This is why media fact-checking has lost all credibility. https://t.co/KEbr3Zrlwc

Wait a second, this isn't an opinion piece? Good grief. https://t.co/20jTUzWaBK

Oh, it’s an opinion piece, but the Times just doesn’t present it that way. Instead it’s a super-objective “fact-check.”
