NYT performed many edits, but never deviated from bothsides dogma in handling this story. nytimes.com/2019/10/16/us/…
The two sides didn't bring equal credibility into the meeting.

At the meeting, only one side handed out copies of a deranged, childlike letter he apparently sent to the President of Turkey.

After the meeting, only one side released photos that bolstered the other side's claims.
These undisputed facts should enable us to sort out the more disputed ones. The WH photos and the text of the letter support Democrats' claims that the President is undergoing a mental breakdown. The WH's unmatched record of constant lying undermine their claims to the contrary.

The New York Times, with its unparalleled access, has a responsibility to bear witness to what's happening at the highest levels of the US govt. That requires not throwing up their hands or playing it for laughs when the White House lies. I hope they do better.
