* Our faith is strong that long after [[James Eastland|Senator Eastland]] and his present subcommittee are gone, long after [[Racial segregation|segregation]] has lost its final battle in the [[Southern United States|South]], long after all that was known as [[Joseph McCarthy|McCarthyism]] is a dim, unwelcome memory, long after the last Congressional committee has learned that it cannot tamper successfully with a [[Freedom of the press|free press]], The New York Times will be speaking for (those) who make it, and only for (those) who make it, and speaking, without fear or favor, the [[truth]] as it sees it.

==Quotes about The New York Times==
* The [[American literature|best literature in this country]] now is being written by [[Minority group|minorities]], [[black women]] first, Chinese Americans, Chicanos, Japanese-Americans. These people are writing wonderful literature that totally defies the standards of WASP literature that is always in the New York Times, and I love it.

* The ritual obeisance to the benign government and its laudatory goals.

* Only a handful of Western reporters - notably [[wikipedia:Gareth_Jones|Gareth Jones]] of the ''[[wikipedia:Daily_Express|Daily Express]]'', [[Malcolm Muggeridge]] of the ''[[The Guardian|Manchester Guardian]]'', [[wikipedia:Pierre_Berland|Pierre Berland]] of ''[[wikipedia:Le_Temps|Le Temps]]'' and [[wikipedia:William_Chamberlin|William Chamberlin]] of the ''[[wikipedia:Christian_Science_Monitor|Christian Science Monitor]]'' - had the guts to publish accurate reports about the famine [in the [[Soviet Union]] under [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]]]. The bulk of the [[press]] corps in [[Moscow]], notably [[wikipedia:Walter_Duranty|Walter Duranty]] of the ''New York Times'', knowingly connived at the cover-up for fear of jeopardizing their access to the ''[[nomenklatura]]''.

* The ''New York Times'' released sequel six in the best-selling Putin-the-Poisoner series on September 22. The incredibly gifted junior [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|G-men and women]] in the [[w:Times_Tower|Times Tower]] have sleuthed yet another episode of boundless evildoing by the arch-villain [[Vladimir Putin|Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin]].  “The editorial board,” we are informed, “is a group of opinion journalists whose views are informed by expertise, research, debate and certain longstanding values.... <BR>In this blue state special, they spin the tale of [[Russia|Russian]] dissident [[Alexei Navalny]] poisoned with “a nerve agent developed by the [[Soviet Union]].” Jacobin calls Navalny, who is a [[Right-wing politics|right-wing]] anti-immigrant blogger and [[Google|YouTube]] celebrity, “Russia’s [[Donald Trump|Trump]].”<BR>From the “established fact” that a poisoning occurred, the rest of the Times editorial is pure [[Guessing|conjecture]]. After the poisoning and spending two days in a Russian hospital, the victim flew off to [[Germany]].... <BR>In a [[W:chain of custody|chain of custody]] not revealed, the “colleagues” sent the “evidence” out of Russia to [[Germany]] then also to [[France]] and [[Sweden]], where it was subsequently “confirmed by laboratories.” “The powerful poison,” we are told is used “against foes of the [[Government of Russia|Russian regime]].”<BR> Only in the cartoonish mindset of the NYT do the perpetually bungling villains leave such blatant clues to their crimes. The editorial board declares, “many questions remain unanswered and are likely to remain so. Chief among them is whether President Vladimir Putin ordered or approved the attempted assassination.” Later in the editorial, this chief question is answered: “Mr. Putin knows what happened...” but “…he continues to hide behind glaringly phony denials.”
** Roger Harris, [https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/09/29/nyt-releases-sequel-of-putin-the-poisoner-the-incredulous-case-of-mr-n/ NYT Releases Sequel of Putin-the-Poisoner: the Incredulous Case of Mr. Navalny, ''CounterPunch''],    September 29, 2020

* Outside the comic book world that the editorial paints, there are questions not addressed by the ''Times''. Why, after five previous incidents, has the Russian security state not learned to administer fatal doses of poison and cover up their tracks? Why would Putin repeatedly order hits on dissidents that every time boomerang on him by publicizing their grievances and inviting punishing [[Economic sanctions|sanctions]]?  An alternative explanation for this poisoning story is that this is a setup to discredit and weaken an official enemy of the [[American imperialism|US imperial state]].<BR> '''The nation’s newspaper of record has a long history as a faithful mouthpiece of empire.''' On spinning the Putin-the-Poisoner tale, the Times has been but one voice in the Russo-phobic chorus of western media.  The truth of the Navalny case is hard to ascertain. What is clear is that the “evidence” that the Times touts has not been made public but has been used to bludgeon Russia.''' <BR>Putin is not up for election. But there is something else at stake and that is, as the Times editorial mentions, the possible “cancellation of the '''[[W:Nord Stream 2 pipeline|Nord Stream 2 pipeline]], a gas conduit from Russia to Germany,” which is of vital economic interest to Russia. The US, now the world’s leading producer of fossil fuels, opposes the project. In a bipartisan effort, the US even threatens “crushing legal and economic [secondary] sanctions” on the German seaport of Sassnitz for supplying the project.

* In the broadest strokes, the Times’ coverage of India is almost [[Orientalism|Orientalist]]—it’s almost as if it’s a backward place characterised by [[nationalism]], [[violence]], [[sexual assault]]. I read in an article somewhere, where they just flatly stated that there’s a rampant [[w:Rape_culture|rape culture]] in India. And I was like, what? So, I actually started to look at the statistics to see what they meant. And you look at the [[statistics]], and they’re a fraction of cases from what the [[United States|US]] or [[Western Europe]] experiences. How can you make an assertion like that when the statistics are not even close to being there? So that was what I wanted to understand. I think on the broad level India (is portrayed as) being this nationalist kind of bully. And I think on a more specific level, it’s an [[Anti-Hindu sentiment|anti Hindu]] approach. I have a list of headlines here from the New York Times. One is “why India’s farmers fight to save a broken system”. Another is “under [[Narendra Modi|Modi]], a [[Hindu nationalism|Hindu nationalist]] surge has further divided India”. “What the rape and murder of a child reveals about Modi’s India”. “[[Death]] is the only truth (that’s a quote) watching India’s funeral pyres burn”. “India’s battered free press”—on and on and on and on and on. And you go back to [[China]] and you look at the China reporting for example, on the [[COVID-19 pandemic|pandemic]]. In August of 2020, there the New York Times is celebrating [[COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China|China’s victory over Covid]] and taking the [[Chinese Communist Party|CCP]]’s statistics of Covid deaths at face value. The statistics the CCP provides are absurd, but the New York Times prints them, gives them that credibility. So you think to yourself why is there this division in how they cover [[China]] and how they cover India? Why is one being shown as this sort of [[Progressivism|progressive]] place that has managed to conquer a [[pandemic]] and the other this backward place characterised by funeral pyres and [[rape]]—and that’s what I’m trying to understand.
