‘Words like Slaughter:’ A comparative study of The New York Times reporting in Ukraine and Gaza
An in-depth comparison of The New York Times coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine vs. Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza shows how the Times dutifully launders the news to fit the U.S. government’s agenda.

According to a Saturday report in the #NYT, concern over #ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many #Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and #US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.
CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up #refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for #deportation.

#Minneapolis Live Updates: Man Killed by Federal Agents Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun
Videos analyzed by #NYT appear to contradict federal accounts of the shooting. The man, an ICU nurse, was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said it had joined #Minnesota state officials in filing a federal lawsuit on Saturday night “seeking to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.”
John Mitnick, who once was the head attorney at the #DHS in the first #Trump administration, criticized his former agency on Saturday night. “I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty,” he wrote on social media.

If we all agree that NYT and WAPO have been compromised and are no longer trustworthy, maybe everyone could stop posting links to their stories. I don’t care how critical your commentary is. Stop spreading their bullshit.
Just a thought. #WAPO #NYT #Media #Journalism

So I can't actually play the new #NYT word game because the matchmaking keeps putting me with Kurt and Silcea, who are both already at their max number of games.
The New York Times has done more to normalize extremism than any other legacy journalism outlet in recent years. And the Times' Peter Baker has been by far the most ardent normalizer on its staff.
But now Baker -- ignoring his (and his bosses') central role -- says it's all on Trump.
Pathetic.
@ZaneSelvans I don’t read the #NYT but worth mentioning Israel ignored global anti-apartheid boycotts to secure strategic resources like uranium and a military partner against Arab states, continuing arms sales and nuclear cooperation until South Africa’s 1991 program dismantlement. Post-apartheid South Africa cut ties with Israel over these historical links.
Israel’s foreign diplomacy was always based on deceit. It still is. Hasbara is one of its most known strategies.
[…] Israel ignored the United Nations Security Council–imposed arms embargo on South Africa while telling the world that it was complying.

#BrokenPost catalogs how Trump's attacks on voting rights but positions it as merely "trying to change how the midterm elections are conducted...beyond typical political persuasion...challenging long-established democratic norms."
It's fascism.
We've reached the point where an American dictator says he alone can decide whether or when another country can hold elections, and the American press thinks that's normal.

Just emailed the #NYT tip line to let them know #MayorMamdani and I were close during our formative years and that I have dirt on him.
We weren't. And, I don't.
But, I don't envy the diatribe that reporter is going to get if they make the mistake of reaching out to me.
You can do the same. Let's all #RatfuckTheTimes.

Hey, women, are you still doing the NYT's wordle? or reading their cooking stuff? their book stuff? their political essays or advice columns? Listen to their fucking podcasts?
Part of your subscription fees are paying for THIS.
Consider shunning the NYT for life.
