Journalists aren’t supposed to make things up.
Unless, of course, you’re the New York Times Editorial Board.
The other day the “Paper of Record” ran an editorial titled:
There Is a Way Forward: How to Defeat Trump’s Power Grab
This jewel of distortion says, among other things, this, bold print for emphasis supplied:
The first 100 days of President Trump’s second term have done more damage to American democracy than anything else since the demise of Reconstruction. Mr. Trump is attempting to create a presidency unconstrained by Congress or the courts, in which he and his appointees can override written law when they want to. It is precisely the autocratic approach that this nation’s founders sought to prevent when writing the Constitution.
Obviously, the Times has no historical memory of a president named Franklin D. Roosevelt….
