With some sadness, I've dropped my #NewYorkTimes subscription. Here's why (it's not partisan politics): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/melaniesill_journalism-activity-7261733492776927232-wgYT?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios #journalism #USPol

New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman had a piece that compared the targets of US bombs to vermin. It’s the sort of metaphor that propagandists have historically used to justify genocide.

Why, oh why does anyone take the New York Times seriously?

Mark Ames points out:
>NYT, 3 months ago: "Russia won't take more territory, its forces decimated thanks to US weapons, say US officials"
