Liberal outlet Politico is already attempting to shield former Vice President Joe Biden from criticism of a potential economic failure by — wait for it — blaming President Donald Trump.

The New York Times tried to hurry the vote-counting process along and declare Joe Biden the winner on Thursday’s front page: "If President Trump loses his bid for re-election, as looked increasingly likely on Wednesday, it would be the first defeat of an incumbent president in 28 years." The Times also saw Trump celebrating a “mirage of victory” (even though ballots were…

Jessica Bennett, the New York Times’ first “gender editor,” filed some silly pre-election psychoanalysis for Monday’s edition: “Trump (Tough Guy), Biden (Nice Guy) and the Politics of Manliness.” Bennett opened with the textual equivalent of a campaign video for a former Democratic president that the media clearly misses: "The words were evocative, and not simply because Mr. Obama…

MTP Daily host Chuck Todd and New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker lamented that President Trump has not issued a Mea culpa thus far during his campaign on a Friday segment where they cited and praised three Democrats of previous years for apologizing to the voters for their records.

The New York Times really stepped in it in Friday’s lead story, “President Lashes Out At His Aides With Calls To Indict Political Rivals.” In the rush by reporters Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman to show President Trump as a conspiratorial madman, the paper indulged in its own left-wing conspiracy, involving an allegedly faked-up trip by Trump to the South Lawn.

New York Times reporters dealt with the deadly state of wildfires in California on Monday’s front page, but used it solely as a cudgel with which to bash President Trump, in two front-page stories: “Trump, a Bold Climate Denier, Confronts a Charred California" and “Spurred By Fires, Trump and Biden Clash On Climate."

The Labor Day edition of the New York Times led its National section with a hostile full-page “news analysis” from chief White House correspondent Peter Baker on President Trump’s supposed appeals to white grievance in “Trump Makes White Grievance a Pillar of His Campaign – Seeking a Political Lift From Banning Training On Racial Sensitivity.” But Trump didn't ban mere "racial…

The New York Times’ front-page “news analysis” by Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman, “Fanning Strife With Kenosha In His Sights,” continued the paper’s pathetic pivot from ignoring violence at the “mostly peaceful” demonstrations in U.S. cities to blaming it on Trump, who is visiting Kenosha, Wisconsin, cite of the latest rioting, on Tuesday. The distortions started in the lead sentence…

The Republican National Convention launched last night, and the New York Times launched its contemptuous coverage with Trump-hostile White House correspondent Peter Baker setting the table on Monday’s front page: “As Woes Grow, President Aims To Shift Story.” Baker told a whopper about the now famous McCloskey couple of St. Louis, supposedly “brandishing guns at peaceful Black Lives…

The third night of the virtual Democratic National Convention was highlighted by a scathing speech by former president Barack Obama attacking his successor Donald Trump. White House correspondent Peter Baker’s lead story used Obama’s speech to both praise the former president and denigrate the current one, under the headline “Obama Sees Chance to Save a Legacy Under Siege." Baker commiserated…

The Democratic National Convention launched in virtual mode, and the New York Times was predictably gushing -- but still reserved plenty of space for invective again President Trump. White House correspondent Peter Baker in particular has become openly contemptuous of the president. He was granted a half-page of text for his Tuesday “news analysis,” “Racist Attacks, Conspiracy Theories and War…

Wednesday’s New York Times featured another labored attack on President Trump by White House correspondent Peter Baker. In a half-page “White House Memo,” Baker accused Trump of hypocrisy in “The ‘Law and Order’ President, but Not Close to Home.” He laundered the left-wing talking point that Trump doesn’t support all law enforcement, such as the intelligence services that went after…

New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers churned out some fake news in Saturday’s print edition with “President Says Job Report Makes ‘a Great Day’ for Floyd.” The problem? Trump didn’t say that at all – Trump was praising America for making gains toward “equal justice under the law.” In the wake of a shockingly positive jobs report, Rogers tried hard to inflame the phony…

Even after radical left-wing groups vandalize news buildings, they still get defended by their friends in the media. After NBC scoffed at President Trump for calling out Antifa agitators Sunday, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell complained on her show Monday that the president was “cherry picking” Antifa to “go after his political enemies.”
