We are making progress: Another MSM source has gone semi-woke!

In an odd editorial (not paywalled), the NYT opinion editors published another scathing attack on DJT. The attack was a headline in a huge font and short 3 paragraph attack in large font, followed by lots of photos with short captions from each of his years in office:

Donald Trump’s First Term Is a Warning

Republicans have tried to rewrite the four years of Trump’s presidency as a time of unparalleled peace, prosperity and tranquility: “the strongest economy in history,” as Senator Katie Britt of Alabama put it during the Republican National Convention. The difference between Trump and Biden? “President Trump honored the Constitution,” said Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota. Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia offered Mr. Trump’s first term as an example of “common-sense conservative leadership.”

The record of what Mr. Trump actually did in office bears little resemblance to that description. Under his leadership, the country lurched from one crisis to the next, from the migrant families separated at the border to the sudden spike in prices caused by his trade war with China to the reckless mismanagement of the Covid pandemic. And he showed, over and over, how little respect he has for the Constitution and those who take an oath to defend it.

For Americans who may have forgotten that time, or pushed it from memory, we offer this timeline of his presidency. Mr. Trump’s first term was a warning about what he will do with the power of his office — unless American voters reject him.

Nowhere in the opinion does the word authoritarian, corrupt, kleptocratic, autocratic, plutocratic,  or theocratic appear. Hence my assessment of a semi-woke MSM source, not woke. The NYT still doesn't completely get it. But, it is getting better!

Wokeness-o-meter reading for the NYT 

seems fairly accurate, but a bit high
