Our colleagues at the @AP are the best in the business, total professionals and straight as they come. Since I started covering the White House in 1996, no president has punished a mainstay of the press pool to enforce his personal choice of what words they use in their stories.

Good article, but it's amazing the media, including the NYT continually gave voters the impression the economy was terrible by always focusing on bad news.
The media failed to fairly cover Joe Biden and in effect, failed this nation into authoritarianism.
