The day after his arraignment, the New York Times boosts Trump's presidential campaign with this frontpage free campaign ad:

The front-page picture doesn't show his dozen-car motorcade or the MAGA crowd or arrest or any of it, but instead shows Trump stepping down from his private flag-adorned plane as if he is some hero.
As for the headline, it's as if Trump wrote it himself. With words like "momentous" and "not guilty" just plays into the MAGA narrative that this is some big government conspiracy to take Trump down and Trump is standing his ground.

Meanwhile, I guess this should be expected from a news outlet that just had to pay hundreds of millions to settle a lawsuit for lying about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. However, even for Fox News this chyron is shameless: "Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after have his political rival arrested"
