The latest Peter Baker “news analysis” brings into sharp focus how little the Times cares anymore whether Trump lies. They mention the propensity for “falsehoods” (of course the word “lies” is off limits), but the lying is just considered a foible, on a par with mixing up names.
There was a time when the press would be OUTRAGED by a politician caught lying. They destroyed Al Gore for exaggerating his role in the internet. Trump has brought that time to an end. https://press.coop/@nytimes/113109369523641147

@gleick Trump and newspapers like the NYT itself together brought the era of condemning mendacity to an end. The Times never figured out how to report the phenomenon of a serial liar as candidate-then-President-then-candidate. A paper that once styled itself as the premier journal ended up sanitizing the serial liar. What a sad demise. @nytimes
