Did the NYT decline to treat 9/11 as the annual commemorative occasion that it's been for the past 20 years?

I'm seeing this:

I might defend the NYT and other news outlets if they chose to end the practice. I don't like terrorists squatting on the calendar, forcing us into darkness every 365 days. We must honor the dead? But if we truly ordered our life around honoring the dead, every day of the year would be a somber day of commemoration. Instead, we have a scattering of death days on the American calendar. Why those and not others? What interests are served by keeping those horrendous events fresh in our mind and not others?

So what if the NYT has maxed out on articles written in advance and highlighted on the front page of the September 11th edition of the paper? What 9/11 means 21 years later, What young people who don't remember 9/11 think about 9/11, What place does 9/11 have in the psyche of young adults who saw it on television live but couldn't understand it at the time.... There are endless pieces that could be prepared for the commemorative edition and placed prominently to establish that the newspaper has, indeed, once again, presented 9/11 with the proper depth and respect.

What the NYT actually did wasn't nothing. It was to report on what happened on September 11, 2022. That is, the news. Not the more distant past.

I'm seeing one 9/11 piece published in the NYT on 9/11/22: "Marking 9/11, Biden Remembers the ‘Precious Lives Stolen From Us’/Members of the Biden administration honored the victims of the attacks, which, 21 years later, remain deeply painful for the family members who lost loved ones."  (There's also a page on line, "Biden Honors 9/11 Victims at the Pentagon," consisting of video of Biden speaking.)

Now, of course, it is easy to suspect the NYT of prioritizing the interests of the Democratic Party in the looming midterm election. They've spotlighted Biden and conveyed his framing of the 9/11 story — the victims, the "family." 

But there's more:

Mr. Biden also marked the anniversary by encouraging Americans to defend the nation’s democratic system, turning again to a message that the country’s institutions are under threat by forces of domestic extremism.

“It’s not enough to stand up for democracy once a year or every now and then,” Mr. Biden said. “It’s something we have to do every single day. So this is a day not only to remember, but a day of renewal and resolve for each and every American.”

Oh, my! It's like his blood-red, soul-of-America speech — the threat to democracy from the enemy within.  9/11 has become an occasion for calling out "domestic extremism"?!

But did Biden mention domestic extremism or is that something the NYT inserted? That Biden quote says stand up for democracy, but doesn't cite domestic extremism.

Let's check the full text of the speech. The part about democracy is at the end (and I'll boldface the part the NYT quoted):

We have an obligation, a duty, a responsibility to defend, preserve, and protect our democracy, the very democracy that guarantees the rights and freedom that those terrorists on 9/11 sought to bury in the burning fire and smoke and ash.

And that takes a commitment on the part of all of us — dedication, hard work — every day.

For always remember: The American democracy depends on the habits of the heart of “We the People.” That’s how our Constitution — “We the People.” The habits of heart of “We the People.”

It’s not enough to stand up for democracy once a year or every now and then. It’s something we have to do every single day.

So this is a day not only to remember but a day of renewal and resolve for each and every American, in our devotion to this country, to the principles it embodies, to our democracy.

That is who [what] we owe those who remember today. That is what we owe one another. And that is what we owe future generations of Americans to come.

I have no doubt we will do this. We will meet this significant responsibility. We’ll secure our democracy together as one America, the United States of America. That’s who we are. That’s who your loved ones were and why they gave so much.

Wow! So it was the NYT that inserted domestic extremism and not Biden at all! 

Perhaps Biden would like to back off from his demonization of millions of Americans, but the NYT is making it more difficult for him. Do you see in that text the implication that he's attacking domestic extremists?

Could we say that the NYT is actually not prioritizing the interests of the Democratic Party in the next election but holding Biden responsible for what he'd said in his earlier speech and not allowing him to sanitize the abstraction of "democracy" so soon after he framed it so concretely against "MAGA Republicans"?
