The NY Times’ epic fail in trying to tarnish DeSantis’ COVID recordBy NY Post Editorial Board
July 24, 2023
The New York Times is desperate to tarnish Gov. Ron DeSantis’ impressive COVID record, but a monster “report” it ran this weekend meant to do that accidentally wound up highlighting his success instead.
The paper dispatched three separate reporters to spend “weeks,” it said, poring over COVID data for the more than 4,000-word opus.
Clearly, it sees the gov as a looming threat to Democrats’ chances of holding the White House.
(The paper would like nothing more than for President Donald Trump to win the GOP nomination, to give Biden the best shot at keeping his job.)
Yet strip out the piece’s lame anti-DeSantis snipes and you’re left with a stunning fact: Overall, [Florida’s] death rate during the pandemic, adjusted for age, ended up better than the national average, the Times itself admits.
