Two presidents of two different parties introduce infrastructure plans. The New York Times ran an article on each and the coverage couldn’t be more different.
When former President Donald Trump introduced a modest, $200 billion over 10 years, infrastructure plan, the Times covered it in a negative light, saying it hurt low-income communities and forced states to provide funding instead of having it all come from the federal government – which the Times reported as a bad thing. Compare that to recent coverage of President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion over 8 years plan, in which the Times focused on Biden’s alleged intent behind the plan, saying the money would be used to help people.
