I just have to say (using rather unBuddhist language) FUCK THE NEW YORK TIMES.
In an article about Biden dropping out of the race, Peter Baker says of Biden's letter, "It was not immediately clear whether he wrote the letter himself or had help."
Fucking hell! When have they ever asked that question of any other politician, when *all* politicians rely on the help of speech writers and aides.
It's just a completely unnecessary dig, and symptomatic of the toxicity at that newspaper.
