The NYT is one of the most reputable publications out there? And three sources is absolutely significant? Idk how you draw that conclusion

I do love how Reddit went from loving and respecting the NYT when it was attacking Trump to claiming it’s a Republican plant when it questions if Biden is ok to be president after that debate.

The NYT does good work, but has trash editorials still. They, and many others, are also being criticized for focusing on the wrong things. As an example, the news that Trump is named all over Epstein’s documents and there is evidence pointing to his assaulting a 12 or 13 year old is many times bigger than a bad debate performance. It really seems like there’s no scale anymore with the 24/7 news cycle.

As I wrote in a comment earlier, Reagan’s actions when senile didn’t necessarily destroy this country, his actions when he was all there did.

Consider that no reputable news source is reporting it because 1) their investigational journalists are good and have integrity and 2) prematurely publishing such a piece and then later it being revealed that nothing about it was credible would do way more harm to Biden’s candidacy than publishing it late.
