Mondale gets Times treatment as a “good panelist” conservative viewpoint
Jeffrey Hart critiqu es how the New York Times coverage elevates Walter Mondale with page one stories and lengthy editorials while comparing Mondale to Teddy Kennedy and noting the paper’s history of backing other perceived challengers. The piece mocks Mondale’s claimed crisis, his call for a commission, and the Times’ editorial amplification.
