NYT Discovers Voter Anger, Ignores Architect of That Anger
When the NYT (source: NY Times Politics ) frames 'anger over ICE raids' as a spontaneous, organic movement driving voters, it conveniently sidesteps the politicians who greenlighted these operations. These aren't acts of God; they're policy decisions. For example, President Biden's administration, despite earlier promises, has continued and even expanded certain deportation measures, with ICE
conducting numerous large-scale operations under his watch. The Democratic Party gets to lament the anger while simultaneously being the party in power overseeing the immigration enforcement apparatus. It's a familiar media dance: portray public outcry as unrelated to the actions of those in power. One might wonder if the New York Times will next report that humidity is driving people to sweat,
without mentioning the actual temperature. The real story isn't just that voters are angry; it's that the very party seeking their votes is often responsible for the policies causing that anger, a nuance rarely explored beyond a superficial election-cycle 'concern.'
