But once he was out of the race and there was only one old guy, age ceased to become an issue.

That's what makes what they're doing kind of insidious. They're not making things up - Biden is indeed old. It's how they weight things and how much they push them.

There's a reason the "NYT Pitch Bot" account is so popular - it's poking fun at a real phenomenon.

Are you claiming that the NYT is biased in favor of Trump? That's so hard to take seriously that I don't even know what to say to that.
It is. Their editor in chief sanewashed trump out of spite because Biden would not take an interview with them.

I only know what I see.

Obviously the editorial page is not in favor of Trump.

The organization as a whole... IDK, I have a suspicion that they kind of view the chaos as good for business and exciting, rather than 'boring and dull' like Biden.

It's not a blatant bias, it's more subtle than that. It does not involve spreading falsehoods. More things like 'both sides!'.
