All journalist organizations, unfortunately, have an incentive to bias content towards maximum clickbait. The ones that don't end up being outcompeted.

I think the keyphrase is the "trying" in "trying to fight China economically". The current administration simply does not have any incentives, well of resources or intellectual capacity to pursue any long-term growth goals.

It's a garage fire-sale and China has just to sit there and wait.

Can you be clearer about The Times screaming about Trump trying to fight China economically? What are you referring to specifically from them?

There's an irony to treating the media as a monolithic entity when it is comprised of hundreds of publications and studios and tens of thousands of employees.

Non-techies don't conflate Apple with Netflix. Why do techies consistently conflate the NYT with Newsnation?

The Times is on the side of "reporting things that people say."

It seems pretty clear.

I don’t see how there is any cognitive dissonance there. Trump can simultaneously do disastrous things for our economy in terms of global trade with China as well as allow for us to be routed by Chinese strategists.
