Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ran a successful reelection-campaign without ever playing attention to left-wing propaganda pundits or giving ultra-biased outlets like the New York Times an interview at any point during his campaign.
It was obviously the right strategy and serves as a lesson for any Republican, not to give hate-filled outlets like CNN, NYT, ABC, etc a forum. Obviously the NYT isn’t happy about it, but it was the Times itself which decided to transform itself from a once reputable and respected newspaper to a far-left propaganda mouthpiece promoting conflict and division. Encouraging, that leading politicians have cought up to that new reality and adjusted course.
