Critics have accused the New York Times of spending the past years fretting about President Joe Biden's age over questions about America's future under Donald Trump's leadership.

Message boards and newsletters from opinionated followers of politics are filled with questions asking what is "wrong" with the Times. It's also the subject of a recent piece published by Salon.

Such reports are "allowing it to steal attention away from the larger and far more serious danger posed by a second Trump administration," wrote CNN's Oliver Darcy Tuesday. "Critics have also argued that The Times covers Biden and Trump with disproportionate standards, placing false equivalence on issues surrounding the current president to those of the former president, who is facing 91 criminal counts and fantasized about being a dictator on 'day one.'"...

The chairman of the Republican National Committee says that it is simply "not true" that his party takes the side of the wealthiest Americans over the poor and middle class.

Representatives Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Hank Johnson (D-GA) and Jim Moran (D-VA) have introduced legislation to completely eliminate the federal debt ceiling, but the bill has little chance of survival with Republicans in control of the House.

Poll after poll has found that Americans are extremely disillusioned with the federal government, regardless of their political affiliation, after the president signed an agreement over the federal debt ceiling and budget deficit.

Americans are more upset with their government than ever after lawmakers and the president reached an agreement to raise the debt ceiling until 2013 and cut the federal deficit by about $2.1 trillion over a 10-year period.
