I found this example from the NR article of the Times “sane-washing” what Trump said to be a great way of illustrating their dishonesty in covering him:

> While speaking at an event put on by the extremist group Moms for Liberty, Trump [spread a baseless conspiracy theory](https://x.com/HausofSylvanis/status/1829904636511469744) that “your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation,” referring to transition-related surgeries for trans people. In [their write-up of the event](https://www.readtpa.com/p/downplaying-their-bigotry-the-new), a glowing piece about how Trump “charmed” this group of “conservative moms,” the _Times_ didn’t even mention the moment where he blathered on and on about a crazy conspiracy that has and will never happen.

WTF. They completely ignored the total insanity of what he said on this topic.

WHY? WHY? WHY would they do this unless they have a pro-Trump bias or at least an anti-Harris bias.

FFS that is crazy
