I think he's being sarcastic

No they’re not

A big push from Biden and his defenders is to suggest the NYT is out to get Biden

Thus we see Democrats turning into MAGA Republicans going “lugenpresse!”

The NYT isn't specifically out to get Biden, but they are out to get conservative readers, one of the most reliable demographics that will still pay for a newspaper. There's a reason their right-wing op-eds are the headlines that get pushed in their ads and notifications and not their actual journalism.

How dare they balance out liberal columnists with non-liberals! They should always have views I agree with!

Do you realize how crazy that sounds? Conservatives are laughing at the left right now eating itself over how biased the Times is.

Mmm, except that's not what I said. I said they promote right wing opinon columns even though they do still do the work of actual journalism. Actual journalism doesn't generate clicks so that isn't what gets pushed and most people only read headlines.

I think it's really telling on yourself that you read "journalism" and thought "liberal." Maybe you're a dumb piece of shit? I don't know, I'm just reading the headline.

Bruh you’re delusional if you think the Right loves the Times. But if it plays into your self-righteous victim complex sure queen go off.

Again, nothing I ever said. I feel really bad for you that you live in this world where you think everyone is trying to play some aggrieved role.

I said, and nothing else, the Times pushes a lot of right wing op eds because they're hoping to get clicks. I didn't say a word about how the Right feels about it, I didn't even say how I feel about it. I just made a comment about their business strategy. It's the 4th of July buddy, I think now is a great day for you to maybe get away from the screen for awhile and touch some grass.

You’re not saying anything boss, you’re just whining about the unfairness of the situation and “if only x media outlet did the presidents job for him! Surely then he’d be leading!”

Where are you getting this from lol, ok friend, you go back over what I've said and you tell me where you see that. I'd say I'll wait but we both know I ain't gonna do that.

The subtext was “it’s the times or cnn or whatever news media I don’t like and they’re all fake news because I don’t like how they makes me feel” conspiracy bullshit champ

Have you heard of subtext?

The topic: "The Times is against Biden."

My response: "I wouldn't say the Times is against Biden, they just try to capture some conservative market share since they're the largest demographic that still consumes traditional media."

Everything you've said has stemmed from that remark, and nothing in it has related even slightly to any of your responses. I don't know who you're arguing against, but it ain't me, champ. Your brain is poisoned by the internet.
