With less than a week to go until the election, The New York Times is running a quiz today to see if readers can guess if a refrigerator belongs to a Trump or Biden supporter:
Some refrigerators are especially guessable, but so far it seems others are trickier.
Take our full quiz to see how you compare to other New York Times readers — and to see the top correctly guessed fridges, and which ones the most people got wrong. https://t.co/gOTeST74rb

But what’s even dumber than this quiz is this take from the NYT’s Eric Lipton who is scolding conservatives for elevating the major looting and rioting occurring in Philadelphia over the past two nights:
Watching my Twitter feed since last night very notable the intensity of tweets from conservative voices looking to amplify/draw attention to looting in Phila. Yes it happened. NYT covered it as well. Just remarkable how conservatives want to elevate it. https://t.co/cff3J8xoPs

Yes, we should just STFU about a major news event that makes Dems look bad in the tipping point state of the entire election:

And Pennsylvania’s importance is exactly why folks in the media don’t want it covered:

President Trump understands how important a story it is to his reelection:
At a racetrack in must-win Wisconsin, Pres Trump began speech at 2nd his rally of the day, charging that last night Philadelphia was torn up “by Biden-supporting radicals.” He said Biden “stands with the rioters,” and he stands “with the heroes of law enforcement.” pic.twitter.com/X76CulD6CF

Maybe he’d be more interested in the story if the NYT did a quiz on what’s in their refrigerators?
This take is that it is good for the largest newspaper in America to write about it but if conservatives tweet about it it is amplifying it and drawing attention to it and that is bad. https://t.co/QbJDMOs5tn

And this is just another reason why conservatives have lost all faith in media orgs like the NYT:
So sorry that conservative media is actually putting in the work to report on mass looting and rioting in a major American city. https://t.co/mCTNjmHGFM

Unfortunately for libs, the story won’t be going away:
A late-night statement from @PressSec on the ongoing situation in Philadelphia: “The Trump Administration stands proudly with law enforcement, and stands ready, upon request, to deploy any and all Federal resources to end these riots.” pic.twitter.com/auBwD1cLFa
