The NYT is the most "bothsides" political media you'll find; any political story will be reported as "why are the Democrats doing a bad job?".

Well, you could read it like I do, or you could just make things up. Murc's Law (everything good or bad is the Democrats' fault) has been the basic law of all US reporting for the last decade or two though.

They published three stories in the last week about how Democrats winning the election just now is bad news for Democrats.
