"In return [for access] @maggieNYT & NYT often normalized [Trump] in ways large & small. NYT spent years painting a false portrait of adult decision making at the WH, suggesting Trump was surrounded by a beehive of aides who plotted policy, instead of a madman setting the agenda.

"Example: In March 2020, when Trump changed his mind about America & #39;re-opening& #39; by Easter, @maggieNYT reported the & #39;decisive& #39; U-turn came after he pored over sobering data points about the pandemic ...

"Normalizing seemed to be the goal. When @maggieNYT sat down with Trump in early 2019 for an extended Q&A, he lied nonstop and came across as utterly incoherent, yet the Times politely typed it all up as a normal White House interview ...

"One year ago, @maggieNYT& #39;s byline appeared on a deeply misguided front-page Times piece as America suffered from the government& #39;s futile pandemic response: & #39;Despite Pushback, Trump Suggests Testing Is No Longer an Issue.& #39; ...
