    It was a striking moment from a self-assured legislator who is normally nimble at answering impromptu questions from reporters on Capitol Hill, and conservative critics seized on the stumble online.

    Literally the next line in the article. But let’s just shit on mainstream media! Surely there’s a conspiracy here and they are lying to us!!!1

    Edit: or should we got with the first sentence of the following paragraph?

    Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was quicker to respond to questions about other foreign policy matters

    Or 2 paragraphs later, the silly lamestream media attacks the left again!

    Ms. Ocasio-Cortez sounded strongest when drawing a direct contrast with Mr. Trump’s vision of the world.

    Is this an incredible article? Not really. Is it crazy biased? Also not really

      The NYTimes is openly biased in favor of establishment democrats, doing everything they can to make sure those moderate democrats get nominations. From Hillary to Biden to Kamala, down to every race. As is the rest of the media. If we don’t call them on shitting on popular reformers we lose the republic to fascists because their picks can’t win and wouldn’t restore the country if they did.

      Because they aren’t on our side, not living in reality, and have nothing but contempt for you,

      The NYT knows what they’re doing with this tweet, stop acting like we’re all dumb. They know 90% of people won’t read the article, so they deliberately include lines like those you cited in the content itself to look more “fair” and refute any allegation of bias.

      Literally the same tactic Fox News uses.

      Why would i trust the NYT not to be subtle in their deception? The best part of modern information is most people will experience the selected area of the article, which is usually behind a paywall, being read to them by a podcast bro.
