NYT is in favor of Israel. They'll whitewash any president who bombs middle-eastern countries. You do that by sanely discussing what's obviously horrendous war crimes, and by making "both sides" arguments.
Ha. If they are, their favor is just slightly more favorable than Al Jazeera's.
There are a couple of references below to start with, but if you do a search on Trump sanewashing you'll be overwhelmed with them.

Wasn't expecting this kind of political comedy on HN but thanks for the laugh. We talking about the same guy who got politically slandered straight faced for years for a sleazy joke while playing a character on a fictional TV show where actors playing parody and mythical character fake jump on each other from cages and ladders.
