All the News That's Fit to Print, kind of

I haven't seen a printed copy of the New York Times for so long I'm not entirely sure what's it looks like anymore, but its front page used to be emblazoned with the motto, "All the News That's Fit to Print."

Maybe it still is. Maybe that's why today's edition devotes 385 words to what Donald Trump and his New York legal team order, on trial days, for lunch.
On Thursday, for the president and his team, the order was 14 pizzas: four cheese, five pepperoni, four sausage and pepperoni and one chicken, bacon and ranch from The Pie Guy, a takeout place about a block from the court.
Not exactly, the Times sniffs, like "ducking out for a steak." Nonetheless (maybe this is the "fit to print" part, or maybe it's just "all the news") the paper explains…
The Pie Guy had been in business for a year and a half. The overwhelming majority of reviews on Google are favorable -- praising, for example, the "super fresh ingredients and amazing staff."
Certainly good to know.
