Here's the New York Times helping the Trump regime normalize murder -- by federal thugs against anyone they decide to kill -- on America's streets.

The modest caveats in the sub-head and story are not remotely sufficient.

Both-sides treatment of obvious murder -- journalistic malpractice.

Correct

#NYTimes , like all traditional journalism, is not equipped to deal with modern disinformation.

Rather than wait for the admin to provide verifiable evidence of activist ties, they obligate themselves to report the lie in good faith.

Propaganda gets distributed and boosted, but at least they can point to their journalistic ethics about "neutrality"
