JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE NEW YORK TIMES AND ITS NASTY LITTLE GAMES - WARS AND ATTACKING PEOPLE AND APOLOGIZING



COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RINF


NYT Laments ‘Forever Wars’ Its Editorials Helped Create

The NYT has a totally consistent record of supporting wars of aggression.

Check it out, and you won't find an exception.

But the NYT has another consistent record.

And that one concerns its many past abuses in reportage of internal American events.

The game it has long played there is: go ahead, attack and attempt to destroy someone or something, and then, afterwards, quietly admit you may have made a mistake and you are setting the record straight.

It has followed that pattern many, many times - one of the reasons I have zero respect for the paper as journalism.

So now it is applying the "principle" to war?
