"It is not the Times’ fault that the truth often makes Trump look bad."

That's the heart of it.

Trump supporters, including many elected Republican officials, chose a candidate in part because he makes them feel good by vowing revenge and retribution. But at the same time, he is objectively unfit for office for numerous reasons. (Which, given Trump's statements and actions, is an inevitability. Any candidate running on a platform of revenge and retribution is unfit by definition.)

Truthful reporting about Trump will always offend his supporters. That's what happens when you choose a twice-impeached, convicted felon who pledges to be a dictator and prosecute (baselessly) his political opponents.

Next time, Republicans, choose wisely.

Mark Frost won’t say anything to lose access to “interviews” with Elise Stefanik. Thanks for calling out his both sidesing of issues. He also makes frequent use of strawmen and whataboutism.

I assume there are guidelines for journalistic integrity, but then he has no one to answer to anyway. It’s really not worth picking up The Chronicle for free if I think his kneejerk opinions are in it.
