Former Speaker Pelosi’s battle with the New York Times

Pelosi said, “I don’t know what’s happened in New York Times that they make up news.” [Courier]( Friend, The New York Times coverage of Joe Biden is making news again for all the wrong reasons and Nancy Pelosi isn’t having it. In case you missed it, Pelosi appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and, when asked about President Biden’s decision to stay in the presidential race, she had this to say: "I want [Biden] to do whatever he decides to do, and that’s — that’s the way it is. Whatever he decides, we go with." Bafflingly, here’s how the Times covered that statement: Former Speaker Pelosi quickly corrected the record, telling CBS that the Times misrepresented what she said, adding “I don’t know what’s happened in New York Times that they make up news.” [We’ll talk more about the Times’ bias against Biden in a second, but if you support COURIER’s mission to call out misinformation in the media, can you chip in $20 now?]( Now, this isn’t the first time the Times has been accused of bias against Biden. Only two weeks ago, they penned an op-ed themselves calling for President Biden to drop out: Notably, when Trump was convicted of 34 felonies, they instead claimed that voters should decide his fate. 🙄 And it’s not just in the opinion section: remember how the Times ran this hero shot on their front page when Trump pleaded not-guilty plea to charges that he endangered national security by flagrantly mishandling classified documents? In fact, the Times' bias has been so alarming that Salon published a piece titled “There is something wrong at the New York Times,” in which they discussed the seemingly favorable coverage Donald Trump was getting in comparison to the Biden campaign: Here’s the problem: the New York Times is trusted, widely read, and even called a “paper of record,” meaning that it is recognized that its publications have a profound impact. What runs in their papers, from the opinion section to the front page to their breaking news headlines, influences voters and the fate of our democracy. The least they can do is tell the truth. So that’s the bad news. The good news is, until the New York Times gets its story straight, COURIER will be here to call them out. We’re working around the clock to hold anyone who spreads misinformation, including a paper of record, accountable. And we provide our own factual election coverage in our eleven battleground states.
