The NY Times Suddenly Discovers the Biden Border Crisis — Long After It Matters; Scott Bessent Rips NY Times Over Coverage of Biden’s Decline: ‘One of the greatest scandals of all time’

The NY Times suddenly discovers the Biden border crisis — long after it matters:
The New York Times has invented a new genre of reporting — covering big stories showing Democrats in a bad light years after the events that matter.
At the tail end of 2025, the Times has broken the news that the Biden administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants, partly for ideological and partisan reasons, partly out of sheer incompetence.
Who knew?
The nearly 4,000-word story by Christopher Flavelle, with 14 colleagues contributing additional reporting and research, is certainly well-sourced, but none of its facts have just come to light.
It dissects Biden’s immigration misdeeds and missteps over each of his four years in office.
Great — but why not do that while the guy’s actually in power?
Immigration isn’t suddenly an issue today — it’s been the biggest domestic story since COVID ended.
And even before COVID, going all the way back to 2016, Donald Trump put immigration at the forefront of presidential politics.
In private, Democrats close to Biden were discussing the crisis all along and knew his agenda would only make it worse.
“Mr. Biden’s policy advisers sounded the alarm before he even won the election,” the Times acknowledges:
“In August of 2020, several aides wrote a memo cautioning Mr. Biden’s inner circle that his promises” of lighter immigration enforcement “coupled with pent-up demand from the Trump years and economic hardship from COVID . . . could provoke a spike in border crossings.”
Democrats were fully aware of what they were getting the country into, and they did it anyway.
Their voters didn’t know, however, because the media didn’t do the unflinching reporting necessary to inform them — not until just now.
This is the Biden senility story all over again.
Even when the president was visibly failing, liberals in the media dismissed what was right before their eyes. --->READ MORE HERE
Scott Bessent rips NY Times over coverage of Biden’s decline: ‘One of the greatest scandals of all time’:
Scott Bessent tore into the New York Times at the paper’s own media conference on Wednesday — accusing it of pushing distorted coverage of President Trump’s health while downplaying its own failures to scrutinize former President Joe Biden’s decline.
In a tense onstage exchange at the paper’s Dealbook Summit in New York City, Bessent warned Times reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin that the paper was drifting toward irrelevance and had become a “fever swamp,” insisting he no longer reads the Times himself.
“You know, in 20, 30, 40, 50 years, the New York Times is no longer the paper of record,” Bessent predicted in comments reported by Mediaite.
The Treasury secretary cited a Times report last week that claimed that Trump, 79 was starting to show his age: shorter public days, later starts, and moments in which he appeared fatigued during meetings.
“I read this article, like ‘President Trump is slowing down. President Trump’s mental capacity –’ It is a hundred percent fake. Like he only called me twice at 2 in the morning last week instead of three times.”
According to the Times story, Trump holds far fewer public events than he did during the first year of his first term and travels domestically at a slower pace, even as he increases foreign trips.
The article also cited instances in which the president’s eyes drooped during midday meetings, and recounted questions surrounding recent medical procedures he disclosed without detail. --->READ MORE HERE
