NY Times Op Ed columnist published a piece this morning about last night’s debate.
But he wrote it a week ago before seeing the debate.
The piece, called “Vance’s Dominant Debate Performance Shows Why He’s Trump’s Running Mate” is coded from 9/25/24. Mark Elliott, who has a Twitter X account, captured the code today. The Times didn’t even try to pretend Douthat wrote the piece favoring Vance.
Of course, because it was a week ago, Douthat wouldn’t have known that Vance would lie for 90 minutes, then refuse to ackowledge Donald Trump lost the election.
This isn’t any kind of trick. I checked the Times just now and the code stands. The editorial was written on September 25th.
Disgraceful. The Times has fallen so far, I’m surprised anyone is taking it seriously on the election, Israel, almost any world subject.
Hey, @nytopinion, why would you publish a Ross Douthat column written a week ago before the debate was even finished???? (And, therefore, didn't mention that Vance wouldn't accept the results of the 2020 election?) pic.twitter.com/uHtQZSy1cZ
