Downvoters: yes, the NYT and its local journalist are covering for the totalitarian misery imposed by a theocracy on the Iranian people. Just as the NYT was complicit in Duranty's paeans to Stalin and calculated lies about the Holodomor. [1] [2]

Holy Mackrel! This is insane, I've trusted NYT for so long for news even during the election. I always wonder if I am on the wrong side of history based on the news I read

I can't reply directly to my two comments above, which have been both downvoted and flagged because I've pointed out that the NYT has disqualifying conflicts of interest when reporting about the Iranian theocracy, and thus should not be trusted -- to the same extent it was not to be trusted when it was withholding facts about the Soviet-created mass-famine in the Ukraine.
