New York Times: Enemy of Truth
The Times is Americas leading establishment publication. Its longstanding history is unprincipled.
Supporting wealth, power and privilege. At the expense of populist interests.
Functioning as a quasi-official propaganda ministry. Offering a daily diet of managed news misinformation rubbish. On issues mattering most.
No nation in world history committed more high crimes against humanity than America. The Times supports its worst policies.
Ignoring rule of law principles. Supporting might over right. When America goes to war or plans one, it marches in lockstep.
When sitting governments are opposed, it vilifies them supportively. Backing numerous ruthless regimes Washington supports. Including ones installed by rigged elections, coups or US wars.
Throughout his tenure, The Times vilified Hugo Chavez. After his 1998 election, its Latin American correspondent, Larry Roher, lied calling him a populist demagogue. (A)n authoritarian. (A) caudillo (strongman).
On April 13, 2002, a Times editorial headlined Hugo Chavez Departs, saying:
With yesterdays resignation of President Hugo Chavez, Venezuelan democracy is no longer threatened by a would-be dictator.
Mr. Chavez, a ruinous demagogue, stepped down after the military intervened and handed power to a respected business leader, Pedro Carmona.
