However, this perspective fails to acknowledge Trump’s threats to democracy. By not actively working to prevent Trump from gaining power, the news media is effectively allowing the erosion of democracy. Kahn’s argument that the media should prioritize other issues, such as immigration and the economy, is misguided. These issues may be important, but they should not overshadow the fundamental importance of protecting democracy.

Furthermore, Kahn’s claim that the New York Times and other media outlets are not biased towards Biden is questionable. The skewed reporting and misinformation spread by these outlets contribute to the misinformation that the American people receive. If the media accurately reported the root causes of issues like immigration and the economy, the blame would not solely fall on Biden. The media perpetuates a false narrative that undermines the public’s understanding of these issues by promoting false equivalences or highlighting valueless but extraordinary news.

Kahn’s assertion that democracy is not the top concern for the American people is also troubling. Democracy should always be a top priority, as it is the foundation of a free society. Without democracy, the role of the news media as a source of impartial information is compromised. By not actively working to preserve democracy, the media is undermining its own existence.

.Joe Kahn’s perspective on the role of the news media in stopping Trump and saving democracy is dangerously ignorant. By prioritizing impartiality over actively working to protect democracy, Kahn and the New York Times are failing in their duty as journalists. The media should not be a propaganda arm for any candidate, but it should also not shy away from actively exposing those who pose a threat to democracy. The media must fulfill its role in informing the public and holding those in power accountable.
