New York Times surprised they botched it again

Washington Free Beacon: "The New York Times Didn’t Learn Its Lesson - The 'paper of record' commits the same mistakes it apologized for four years ago."
Blindsided by Trump's surprise victory [in 2016], the Times pledged to examine whether it had underestimated the depth and breadth of his support, and to rededicate itself to understanding and reflecting "all political perspectives and life experiences."

As the kids say, LOL. The paper's coverage of the 2020 presidential election was not only as misleading as it was four years ago, it was misleading in the same way, overstating the odds of Democrats everywhere thanks, at least in part, to a belief in race and gender as the defining features of American politics. Identity politics has come to define the New York Times, but the country isn't so monolithic.
The Gray Lady did its best to seek out fresh points of view from midtown Manhattan to the Upper East Side.

Joe Biden is going to get the identical "landslide" electoral college spread that Donald Trump did four years ago.
