    lol, wait till they find out how many anti-china NYT articles are written by people that are published by the Epoch Times. That'll be an issue for them, right? anakin-padme-2

      Is there somewhere I can read more about the overlap on authors? That's nuts I'd never heard of that before.

        Not that I'm aware of. It's just something I've run across because I'm a nerd about Manufacturing Consent and often Google the authors of warmongering pieces to see their background.

        If you're interested in the topic in general, you'll probably find this interview interesting.

    "knowing Russians" - how many Russians do we think this person actually knows?

    Clearly the fact that the NYT doesn’t have a “Russians need not apply” policy means they’re in the pocket of the Kremlin.

      I think it's referring to a string of recent NYT articles basically admitting Ukraine is losing

      This twitter user is particularly unhinged if these articles constitute 'pro Russian' lmao

      Some headlines for articles by Constant Meheut:

      Russia Pounds Ukrainian City Ahead of New Year, as Putin Tries to Project Normalcy

      Ukrainian Missile Attack on a Russian City Kills at Least 22, Officials Say

      How a Russian Barrage Evaded Ukraine’s Defenses to Wreak Deadly Chaos

      Russia Retakes Some Land Hard Won by Ukraine During Counteroffensive

      Ukraine Hits Major Russian Warship, but Loses Ground in the East

      Ukraine Says It Downed 5 Russian Planes, as Moscow Claims It Seized a Town

      Just recent headlines for articles written, not me just cherry picking lmao

      I don't even know which of these are 'pro Russian'...maybe the 2nd ('anti Ukraine' for daring to insinuate 'the good guys' kill innocent people?) and 3rd?

      Admitting basic facts about the war that all non-western sources have been saying since the outset. Naturally this awful "reality" thing is making libs very mad.

    Seeing this I’m wondering how much the Moscow Times’ distribution got hurt in all this considering it’s very much a foreign-run, pro-western paper.

    Knowing Russians they would because that’s how Russians are and that’s definitely not racism somehow to essentialise an entire population based on their geographic origins trust me bro.
