New York Times Russia Bashing Stench
Stephen Lendman ■ Claiming "signs that Russia seems poised to invade" is another Times Big Lie. A matching one calls US aggression humanitarian intervention. So-called responsibility to protect is pretext for ravaging, destroying and plundering one country after another. Times correspondents, contributors and editors leave inconvenient truths unexplained. Big Lies substitute. Longstanding policy features them. Rubbish substitutes for news fit print. Increasing numbers of readers vote with their feet and ignore it. Maybe some day everyone will.
