I just renewed NYT for pennies because my husband loves Wordle. But the NYT's reluctance to mention Trump excreting on his own country and a curlicued Third Reich bowling alley bigger than the White House, plus a boring homepage? Understand readers' needs and wants if you want to survive.
"When Democrats or liberals question the morals of Trump voters, the press treats it as a major scandal. But Trump expresses a desire to cover protestors with feces — essentially saying that anyone who disagrees with him is shit — the media is barely willing to talk about it. Why?"
Trump shits on America. Why doesn’t the media care?
For many news orgs, Trump’s fascist coalition is uniquely legitimate.

Never has a group developed so complete a hearing problem as Republicans confronted with actual words that Trump has said over the last decade.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

Current U.S. economic policy regime: "I want to try to get as much as I can."
Q: During the campaign, you called Kamala Harris a communist, but the Biden-Harris admin never called for nationalizing a private company like you're proposing with Intel. Is this the new way of doing industrial policy?

TRUMP: Yeah. Sure it is. I want to try to get as much as I can.
