No it isn't garbage. During the Biden regime they ran every culture war story that was expected from them. During COVID they ran a hardliner policy for two years. Then, when they were told about an imminent policy reversal around December 2021, they suddenly started manufacturing the new consent with questioning if lockdowns hurt school children etc. They had been Iraq hawks, they are Ukraine hawks now.

Journalists speak truth to power, meanwhile the NYT aligns itself with power at every opportunity. For example, they knew the NSA was spying on us but never ran the story to protect GW's chances at reelection. Presumably they didn't want to be seen as anti-establishment with the new powers and are reverting to their time-proven behavior. NYT will lick the boot when presented, same as ever.

Your post is nonsense. NYT has endorsed a democrat for every election in recent history. Why would they "protect" GW's chances at reelection???

Endorsements

    2024: Kamala Harris (Democrat)
    2020: Joe Biden (Democrat)   
    2016: Hillary Clinton (Democrat)   
    2012: Barack Obama (Democrat)   
    2008: Barack Obama (Democrat)   
    2004: John Kerry (Democrat)   
    2000: Al Gore (Democrat)   
    1996: Bill Clinton (Democrat)   
    1992: Bill Clinton (Democrat)

"Biden regime"

With respect to culture wars and firing the "vaccine" hesitant it was a regime. Trump is now establishing a regime of a different kind. One can be unhappy with both.

I'm excited to hear why you put "vaccine" in scare quotes.

"Biden regime"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/regime

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regime

Relevant quote: "In politics, a regime (also spelled régime) is a system of government that determines access to public office, and the extent of power held by officials. The two broad categories of regimes are democratic and autocratic."

It is true that as a term it has accrued some negative connotations due to the frequent use of the all-encompassing "regime" to speak of governments where their exact denomination tends to fall on the autocratic side of things. From a journalistic point of view, it is better to use a neutral term than a charged one; which unfortunately as you've noticed yourself it can taint the term to readers who are not familiar with its exact scope.

But it is correct to call it Biden's regime, just like the current administration (perhaps a better term given its popularity in the US) is part of Trump's regime.
