I mean, you said that the NYT shouldn't comment on it. All corporate media is biased and will report what they want to report. Unfortunately it is also how people in the west get their news.

Saying that NYT shouldn't comment is essentially saying that it shouldn't be reported on.

I know thatight be a stretch on what you meant - but I don't see there being a different implementation in practice.

If the threshold of what should be reported, then, is what we can have an effect on, then that limits reporting to local news only.

At least that's how I read your post.
