Perfect example of the NYT shaping the news to favor trump [View all]

"To Get the Strait Open Trump Had to Leave the Hardest Issues for Later" is the headline.

But as Lindsay Beyerstein points out on bluesky, this headline is malpractice on the NYT's part. The strait isn't open.

In spite of their efforts to will lemonade out of these lemons, nothing positive has happened at all. A more accurate headline would be : Trump Delays Peace Talks Again After Promising An Agreement.

Real journalists report the truth. It's embarrassing that that even has to be said.
