New York Times Publisher Admits White House Gets ‘Extremely Upset’ With Its Reporting on Biden’s Age, Poor Polling
The publisher of the New York Times admitted Monday that the White House is “extremely upset” with the paper’s coverage of President Biden’s dismal approval ratings and voter concerns about his age.
“He is a historically unpopular incumbent and the oldest man to ever hold this office,” AG Sulzberger said in an interview with the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism.
“We’ve reported on both of those realities extensively, and the White House has been extremely upset about it,” the Gray Lady’s publisher added.
Sulzberger, 43, vowed that his paper will “continue to report fully and fairly” despite the criticism it has received from the 81-year-old president’s staff.
“We are not saying that this is the same as [former President Donald Trump’s] five court cases or that they are even,” the publisher explained. “They are different. But they are both true, and the public needs to know both those things.” (Read more from “New York Times Publisher Admits White House Gets ‘Extremely Upset’ With Its Reporting on Biden’s Age, Poor Polling” HERE)
