    The title is the original title that NYT published. They updated it after backlash (rightfully so). Please don’t report this post again.

      Can you not update the title? I can update my title on posts to different communities… Why preserve the old/pre-change title?

    Trump: “I am chickening out of the debate with Harris, and trying to force it onto a right-wing propaganda network that won’t let me lose.”

    New York Times: “Trump has accepted the invitation to debate Harris.”

    No he didn’t, you fucking hacks. How the fuck does one accept their own invitation? He wasn’t invited to shit, he burned his invitation and is demanding Harris play a new game.

    Fuck Trump for being a cowardly weasel, and fuck the New York Times for this bullshit narrative.

        It says “Trump agrees”. I clicked on it thinking it was a done deal but it’s very much not. It’s misleading.

        Edit- they changed it on the site. But damage is already done to people who just see the original headline and don’t read into it.

          I asked my question because the NYT headline that I personally saw didn’t say “Trump agrees,” and I wanted to verify whether that was the actual headline or an interpretation of it.

    I sincerely hope Harris never meets to debate Trump at Fox. Fox will just ambush Harris and edit the footage to make Harris look dumb or insincere. The whole exercise will be pointless because Americans will not get a fair representation of both candidates.

      I think this is bad news tbh. Harris can be as capable as she wants, but if the broadcaster doesnt stop Trump from a endless ramble or cut off his mic if he escalates to intolerable levels of behaviour, then this could end badly.

      NYT are fools for using that headline. Their journalists, or editor, obscured the facts with that one. “Updated” headline (not joking):

      Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead

        “Cancels” is the wrong verb again. ABC can cancel it, Trump can only decide not to show. ABC and Kamala can go ahead and have a debate with the audience or even put a cardboard cut out in his place and play random quotes he’s made and let Kamala disagree with them. ABC would get views and advertising revenue.

        The right neutral verb phrase there is “backs out of”. The one I would pick is “shirks” or “fears”

        The biggest issue is many people will have only seen the first headline and not the update. They got inaccurate information and it won’t be corrected, and the NYT is to blame.

    Okay Trump, you’re playing the cards you wish you had, rather than the ones in your hand. A clear sign of denial.
