New York Times, the organisation that repeatedly falsely claimed that WMDs were in Iraq, complains that journalists are receiving scrutiny and compares the work they do to work of journalists in authoritarian countries.

While they proceed with their standing policy of yellow journalism, doxxing and lies leading to death, I don't see how anyone can defend this organisation.

Moreover, if America does something, it's paternalist, neo-imperialistic, if they don't do something, it's abrogating responsibility and being selfish.

I'm sure there is a middle ground somewhere but we will never agree on it, so let's stop pretending there is one.

NY Times is truly a sham, it's downright insulting they want people to pay a subscription for such trash. Just look at the Russian bounties thing. Completely uncorroborated and false on every level and yet they their headlines push it as fact.

Can someone say Russian collusion?

>> Completely uncorroborated and false

Only if the only news you consume is fox and leave in an alternative reality.
