NYT has front page piece on how Biden isn’t handling Ukraine smear well....this is how NYT covered the Swift Boat lies, stressing how Dem was losing the GOP smear battle; nytimes.com/2019/10/05/us/…
NYT points to this as proof that Biden is losing Ukraine smear battle: “...and cable news was flashing chyrons by the hour showing Mr. Trump’s wild claims.”

ponder that for a moment
if Trump relentlessly lies abt a Dem candidate and cable news repeats those lies hourly, NYT gives the win to Trump
NYT thinks the optics are bad for the Dem when the GOP WH, DOJ and State Dept launch massive smear campaign

gee, y’think?
btw, one theme from piece is that Biden’s reax to Ukraine smear is too timid

guarantee you if Biden were yelling abt it, NYT piece today would be how he’s “rattled” by Ukraine smear
folks, Trump is *always* outsmarting Dems. that’s been automatic press narrative for 4 yrs
