I agree! They sane-washed Trump for months ahead of the election. So much so they had to address it in an editorial.

Your point seems to be that truth depends on packaging the context it’s served in.
This is a classic post-truth move:
Distracting from the substance by debating the style. It’s a diversion, not a logical argument. When truth is pushed to the background in favor of delivery, it’s no longer about facts, but about framing those facts to fit an agenda.
You're suggesting that truth's value hinges on its presentation...A classic post-truth deflection that shifts attention from substance to style. In proper logic, a fact remains true regardless of its packaging.
