On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher responded: new york times Editor-in-Chief Joe Kahn argued that the paper should not be a tool for the Biden campaign and should only write negative articles about the Republican Party and only positive articles about Biden, and this is the current state of the paper. He said that.
Maher said, “When I’m doing interviews now…the big question that people ask me, and I see every interviewer asking the same question, is that you’re making fun of the left a lot more than you used to. It’s like, yeah, they’re dumber and more obnoxious than they used to be. That doesn’t mean I’m a Republican anymore. They haven’t changed at all. It also got even weirder. They’re still not as much of a threat as the Republicans. But I’ll do both.”
He continued, “And the question I get from you is, if you really don’t want Trump elected — and I really don’t — why are you silent about Joe Biden? I think we should just keep quiet about whether or not this is a problem.”Left side? I can see the head of… new york timesEditor-in-Chief Joe Kahn was asked almost the same question…and Mr. Kahn SaidI don’t even know how that works, “we become instruments” [of] Will the Biden campaign continue to publish content that is extremely advantageous for them, and write only negative stories about the other side? ” I laughed because I think that’s it. times That’s true, and I didn’t even want the other side to come out. But here, Khan said, there are people who want to elect Donald Trump as president, and “it’s not the news organization’s job to prevent that from happening.” …So I applaud this, I think it’s correct.
