The NYT is openly and blatantly sanewashing Trump's racism. "[Trump's advisors] have spent months trying to find the right disease to build their case." (hexbear.net)

Sanewashing

Sanewashing is the act of minimizing the perceived radical aspects of a person or idea in order to make them appear more acceptable to a wider audience. The term was initially coined in online discussions about defunding the police in 2020, but has come to greater prominence in critique of media practices relating to Donald Trump in the 2024 United States presidential election. Journalism organizations and media commentators have suggested actions both readers and writers can take to mitigate sanewashing.
