And Barron's school has zero intention of "fully" reopening. The article specifically states in the line right under the title that "St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, the private school in the Maryland suburbs attended by Barron Trump, said it was considering either a hybrid part-time plan or going back to entirely online classes." And then the first sentence of the article is "The school attended by President Trump’s son will not
fully reopen in September out of concern over the coronavirus pandemic despite the president’s insistence that students across the country be brought back to classrooms in the fall." The keyword in all of this is "fully," which to me means going back to our normal pre-Covid school schedule. They have not made a decision to go hybrid yet at all, they are still considering what is best and will decide by early August depending on public health conditions. I see nothing misleading in the article.

But it’s not crystal clear and forthright, is it? This is what I hate about the media these days. They take the truth and twist it enough to be misleading but not enough to make it an outright lie. I used to think of the NYTimes as one of the least biased newspapers. With everything reportedly going on over there, I shouldn’t be surprised to see them use the same tactics as all the others.
