Better examples are found in an article that I linked:
Sep 12, 2016 – The Ukrainians Shot Down MH-17!
I highly recommend this brilliant article about how the New York Times and Washington Post have become propaganda machines for the American Neo-Con Empire.
https://consortiumnews.com/2016/09/07/new-york-times-and-the-new-mccarthyism/
They rarely print corrections when caught in a lie, and even attack those speaking the truth by implying they are foreign agents. In reality nearly all major media have become spin machines evidenced by that article’s interesting news item that I read nowhere else:
The MH-17 Case
As an example, MacFarquhar cites the case of the shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014, claiming “Russia pumped out a dizzying array of theories.” The Times correspondent then asserts as flat fact that “The cloud of stories helped veil the simple truth that poorly trained insurgents had accidentally downed the plane with a missile supplied by Russia.”The Dutch Safety Board’s reconstruction of where it believed the missile exploded near Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 on July 17, 2014. But, according to official investigations that have been underway for more than two years, MacFarquhar’s claim is not “the simple truth,” as he put it. Last year’s report by the Dutch Safety Board reached no conclusion about who was responsible for shooting down the plane, killing 298 people.Indeed, the DSB’s report included a statement by Dutch intelligence (reflecting NATO’s intelligence data) that the only powerful anti-aircraft-missile systems in eastern Ukraine on that day – capable of hitting MH-17 at 33,000 feet – were under the control of the Ukrainian military. (Though an official document, this Dutch intelligence report has never been mentioned by The New York Times, presumably because it conflicts with the favored Russia-did-it narrative.)
There is a giant billboard going up again across the street from the NYT calling them out on 9/11
“ReThink911’s “New York Times Billboard” Is Here”

Obviously, propagandists and slanderers at the NYT (and Washington Post) do not give equal time to the propagandized and slandered.
Early this year, aggravated by the majority of the content, especially the opinion columns, I canceled delivery of and my on-line access to the New York Times.
Both articles and opinions seemed to always emphasize racial discord (despite the presence of millions of Hispanics and Asians everything was always portrayed as “black and white“), an inflated concern for Muslim sensitivities (“anti-Islamaphobia”), and “immigration” (and they always called illegal aliens “undocumented” immigrants and had all of these stories about families where a parent “migrated” years ago, left behind children who “migrated” separately years later, had a spouse who also “migrated” subsequently, and now had American born (citizen) children, so how could anyone now be penalized or deported.
Not that I expected my words to have any impact, but my letter of cancellation included the below:
Is there any economic inequity or disparity that the NY Times does not attribute to racism? Even when Blacks or Latinos are “disproportionately” affected, why the seemingly immediate jump to the conclusion that racism is responsible for the numbers or the motivation for the supposed “exploitation?” Why not report on the economic inequity as an economic rather than a racial issue? Whatever the racial percentages, economic inequity and “exploitation” ultimately affects poor and working class people of all races. Why does the NY Times almost always describe social and economic disparities as a racial rather than an economic issue? Always emphasizing who suffers by race rather than by economic standing (class) is a strategy that clearly divides rather than unites. The NY Times seems to have adopted the (unacknowledged) motto “All The News That Is Fit To Be Racialized.”
Didn’t the NYSlimes print Al Sharpton’s garbage about the false Twana Brawley accusations as though the fraud were the truth? It was a horrible witch hunt against several White men
My first memory of the Slimes was an adulatory article about Castro right after he took over Cuba. He was going to create paradise in the Carribean. Didn’t work out that way.
May the pretentious, power-grabbing and corrupt NY TIMES die a slow, agonizing and ignoble death.
Papa says if it appears in the NYT it must be so. Yes, Johannes, there is a Sulza Claus.
The New York Times is dead long ago, being replaced by The Jew York Times.
If we lived in a sane world and not one run by lawless sociopaths, the Times owners and editors would be indicted and stand trial for their aiding and abetting war crimes in Iraq, Libya and Syria.
If we lived in a sane world and not one run by lawless sociopaths
Equating NYT aka “JYT” with Pravda is wrong. While Pravda propagated Moscow propaganda for Soviet communist rulers – NYT writes all its news concerning the Middle East by obeying Israel’s GAG Order, as it admitted in April 2014.
On October 8, 2015, Rick Gladstone, Jewish York Times foreign editor, repeated Israel’s propaganda lie about Islam’s third most sacred worship place, Al-Aqsa Mosque built on top of the so-called “Temple Mount”.
“The question, which many books and scholarly treaties have never definitively answered, is the 37-acre site, home to Islam’s sacred Dome of Rock shrine and Al-Aqsa Mosque, was also the precise location of two ancient Jewish temples, one built on the remains of the other, and both since gone.”
Even though Gladstone amended his original article after he was ridiculed and insulted by former Israeli jail-guard Jeffrey Goldberg, Liel Leibvitz, Jeremy Burton, etc. by adding “Temple Mount” after “37-acre” – it still doesn’t meet the historical and religious facts. For example, calling the two temples destroyed by Babylonian and Titus, as “Jewish temples” is ridiculous. Israeli historian Dr. Shlomo Sand has claimed that “Jews were invented only a century ago.”
Islam’s sacred building on the hilltop is Al-Aqsa Mosque and not the shiny Dome of Rock. Al-Aqsa Mosque was built originally by Caliph Abd al-Malik of Umayyad dynasty in 890 CE on the spot from where the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) began his journey (Miraj) to have conversation with the Mighty Allah. Al-Aqsa Mosque expansion was done by Ottoman Sultans. Currently, it can hold nearly 3000 worshippers.
Caliph Abd al-Malik also built a separate structure to enclose a large piece of rock which according to Islamic traditions was used by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to embark on Buraq (Heavenly creature that looked like a horse). The structure also covers a small cave where the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said to have meeting with prophet Abraham. A large dome, originally covered with gold-plates, was installed on top of the structure by Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi after he captured Jerusalem from the Franks (crusaders), who used Al-Aqsa Mosque as a palace in the 1100s.
The Dome of Rock has never been used as a mosque. The five daily prayers have never been conducted inside the Dome of Rock. It’s a sort of historical museum. However, visitors, including myself, have used it to be part of prayer lead by an imam inside Al-Aqsa Mosque next door.
Rick Gladstone didn’t mention the small Umar Mosque built by Arab Muslims when they took control of Jerusalem city in 638 CE under the command of Caliph Umer bin al-Khattab (as) after cleaning the hilltop which had been used a garbage dump by both Romans and Christian Franks.
Rick Gladstone also lied that no archeological work had been conducted of the hilltop, which is under the control of Jordanian ‘royals’.
American archaeologist and author, Professor Dr. Ernest L. Martin (1932-2002) had conducted archaeology work in East Jerusalem. In his controversial book ‘The Temples that Jerusalem Forgot’, published in 1999 – Dr. Martin claimed that Muslim sacred places, Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of Rock are not built on top of the Temple Mount ruins.

The problem with accusing the Ukrainians of having shot down MH-17 is found in the wreckage. The type of pellet that did the damage is not found in the version of the Buk missile in the possession of the Ukrainians. Only the newer version, owned only by the Russians, have the type of pellet that did the damage.
Russia shot down MH-17. Russian troops are known to be in eastern Ukraine operating heavy weapons. Russia has also come clean that regular troops have been sent to the Donbas and a lot of the artillery fire that has been aimed at the Ukrainians has come from Russian territory.
You’ve swallowed a load of Putinist propaganda.
I guess we are really dealing with alternate realities here. This MAY have happened but if it did, Russia sure won't say.
Russia has also come clean that regular troops have been sent to the Donbas
No one had to concoct any “evidence ” of WMD in Iraq. We found exactly what we knew they had. The New York Slimes isn’t much more than a broadsheet gossip rag these days, but you give them too much credit for true intelligence.
Every morning, I skim the headlines of the New Joke Times for my daily dose of humor. The only articles I bother clicking on these days – as with the BBC – appear in the Sports section. The recent profile on Kyrgios was amusing.
– It is unfortunate that the NYT and especially, the BBC are still taken quite seriously in the developing world.
Have you any hands on knowledge of the wreckage or are you simply repeating what’s come out of the main street news, (propaganda) Russian troops in the Ukraine any first hand knowledge or simply repeating artical’s out of the main street news (propaganda) looks to me that you simply are the main street news always spreading propaganda.!!!
I am as shocked as many others to experience the demise of the MSM in the West. I used to peruse the NYT and Washington Post on a daily basis. But, now the pandering of the NYT, WAPO, CNN, NBC, and CBS to globalization and Wall Street is so blatant that I don’t bother. Indeed, if I notice their bylines, I pass.
My foremost source of news about the world today is RT. Call it propaganda, but as the Soviets plied that trade, at least in the name of credibility you say things that are true even if you favor some coverage and slight others. The MSM has such a disdain for the truth that they have no credibility; they live in and give voice to a counterfactual, fictional world.
Has this always been the case … or, have I been a fool most of my life? (This is important for me to know since I’m 69.) I think there has been a fundamental change in the MSM over the years. Newspapers like the NYT and WAPO used to be owned by independent newspaper families. We also had the USG enforcing a modicum of balance in broadcast news in return for allotting space on the public airways. Now, the MSM is owned by corporations and the USG no longer cares about balance in broadcast news. The MSM voice corporate positions.
Yes, the NYT, WAPO, etc., are now irrelevant except for the true believers who are already disposed to agree with their coverage. This is to say that the true believers also have nothing to learn from the MSM.
We must delve into the nature of news and the origin of newspapers. For millennia news was spread verbally, face to face, and that looked more like gossips. Then the printing technique appeared and then some guy decided to print and disseminate those gossips, half-truth, half-lie. Soon many started their own newspapers and began to hire informants and spies, later known as journalists. Finally, newspapers began printing not only information reports, but opinion essays, thus political journalism was born. By the American and French Revolutions newspapers became the ultimate tools for political propaganda (originally a religious term). Finally the nature of mass media was shaped during the Crimean War (1853-56). Learn how British newspapers covered the war back then and later Russia during the Great Game, it is very revealing; so many parallels with today. Since then, more than for the past 150 years, hardly anything has changed. The goal of newspapers is not only to report but mainly to manipulate public opinion and influence politics and decision making. They are not meant to disseminate the truth. This is some sort of illusion, wishful thinking that journalism only makes truth. I myself wish it were thus, but. The only difference back then was that everybody could open and issue a newspaper and there might be many agendas depending on who the owner of a newspaper was. Now every main informational outlet is influenced, controlled or directly owned by big corporations and globalist crooks. But even local newspapers, like of a county or a city, have sure their own agenda and propaganda. I saw myself how a local newspaper wrote articles openly advertising one local businessman and blackening the other (though the newspaper would never acknowledge they had been bought, but it was so blatantly obvious).
I think there has been a fundamental change in the MSM over the years. Newspapers like the NYT and WAPO used to be owned by independent newspaper families.
Ah yes, the same newspaper that lavished praise on Stalin and printed impossible & laughable tales of ‘6,000,000 Jews & gas chambers’.
“Alone the fact that one may not question the Jewish “holocaust” and that Jewish pressure has inflicted laws on democratic societies to prevent questions—while incessant promotion and indoctrination of the same averredly incontestable ‘holocaust’ occur—gives the game away. It proves that it must be a lie. Why else would one not be allowed to question it? Because it might offend the “survivors”? Because it “dishonors the dead”? Hardly sufficient reason to outlaw discussion. No, because the exposure of this leading lie might precipitate questions about so many other lies and cause the whole ramshackle fabrication to crumble.”
– Gerard Menuhin / Revisionist Jew, son of famous violinist
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years.
It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”
— David Rockefeller, Speaking at the June, 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden, Germany.
“during the current election cycle in the United States, The New York Times has so clearly abandoned all rudimentary standards of journalism and alienated its readership so badly, that it has sentenced itself to wither away into irrelevance.”
Actually, it abandoned all that a very long time ago, but better to notice late then never, I suppose.
The media is owned by four corporations.
This election cycle has completely exposed any pretense of “journalism.” I don’t know if I should even trust their reporting on the weather anymore.
Millennials don’t read newspapers so their demise will be rapid.

Whose demise? The millennials or the newspapers?
For what it’s worth I have/had digital subscriptions to the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, the Economist, Washington Post, Takimag and I also read Breitbart and UNZ Review.
That doesn’t really entitle me to speak about the digital version of the New York Times but there are some interesting things happening in online journalism.
One thing I’ve noticed is that some journalists and opinion writers don’t like to receive critical comments. Maybe it’s a house rule that they can’t reply to comments in the comments section itself (although they do on UNZ Review and it’s no problem), but there’s recently been a PC “safe space” type reaction where comments are either completely banned (Telegraph), mostly removed (Guardian) or very heavily censored (New York Times – apparently).
That leaves the interesting cases of the Washington Post and Breitbart as what might be called leading online publications.
The Washington Post has a technically great Comments system and their censorship exists but is very light, making some fascinating hyper-articles where a (generally leftist slanted) piece of journalism kicks off 100’s of comments from the well informed and insightful , to rubbish and abuse. They seem to take the attitude that adults can ignore the rubbish in order to sometimes get valuable contrary/additional opinions + some real humour.
Same at Breitbart who use the pretty good off the shelf Disqus commenting software that can handle comments fast running into the 1000’s. I’ve sometime counted them coming in at an average of 1 per second. The effect is the same as the Washington Post but on the right of the political spectrum, with both of them being far ahead of the “safe space” crowd in terms of journalistic interest, public involvement and social experience – basically a good party.
Takimag feels like more of a personal production of Taki Theodoracopulos aiming for a lightness that isn’t quite there, but that’s maybe because the current chaos in the US is not so light, and he has a very open comments system based on Disqus.
The UNZ Review feels like a personal production of Ron Unz, with a rather clunky commenting system but for un-intimidated article quality and insightful comments (hidden among much rubbish) it is probably the best of the lot. Highly recommended and it seems to be building up fast.
Getting back to the article, the New York Times is surely 100% dead in the water (definitive proof- Henry Kissinger thinks that it’s a fine publication).
Of course, the NYT would have disappeared already if it weren’t for cash infusions from Mexican criminal (and World’s riches man) Carlos Slim, in return for relentlessly defending the “right” of Mexicans to enter the US illegally and remit cash (untaxed) back to the home country.
I’m a bit older than you are. I learned how the newspapers lie and lie back in 1966. My city, San Francisco had a black riot ostensibly because a cop shot a stick up man.
The local papers were totally in favor of the rioters and against the police. That is when I stopped believing in anything published in a newspaper or “quality” magazine like Atlantic, New Republic Harper’s etc.
I soon went to work for a government agency that was under siege by federally funded radical non profits. I saw that everything published about my agency was a total lie. I also had a friend who was a reporter for the major newspaper in those days. He told me that reporters don’t really investigate and write the stories. They just re write handouts from liberal or people
Of course I am White. From 1960 on the “quality” newspapers and magazines have been solidly anti White. I realized that just out of college.
The Los Angeles Slimes actually instigated and then justified the Rodney King riots. The Slimes blamed everybody but the black dreck for the riot, especially the police The Wave newspapers are a chain of local community newspapers in the southern Suburbs of Los Angeles. They were mostly black at the time of the Rodney King riots. The Wave papers were a lot more pro police and anti black rioters than the Times.
How can Whites read the news papers all their lives and not notice that the newspapers totally hate Whites?
I haven’t seen a NYT newspaper in decades. I know the NYT has a presence on the Internet, but last I checked (years ago) their archives (the only thing the NYT retains of value) are membership only. The NYT might still be a valuable record of historical events that occurred generations past, but most everything I’m looking for has already been extracted and is publicly available elsewhere. It’s simply easier to do a Google search than find it on the NYT website (only to discover that to view it requires a subscription). If the link has a NYT in it, I go on to the next.
When it comes to contemporary news, the last place I would look is the NYT. If I want to hear official lies for myself, then cable TV is the only possible source. The 24/7 news cycle can be recorded and the misstatements extracted later. A few hours later and the news has been purged of the offense, all references removed or left dangling. The NYT is simply not useful to catch glimpses of real events as they happen.
Finally, when it comes to analysis the NYT has, as you say, deliberately made itself more and more irrelevant. Commentary and analysis is a dime a dozen on the Internet, and almost all of it is of a higher quality than what the NYT prints. The NYT attacks only official enemies, and maintains a passionless hands-off attitude towards the crimes of their powerful allies. Now, why would I bother to read that? My time is valuable and the Internet is full of insightful analysis. Life is too short to read propaganda.
“On October 8, 2015, Rick Gladstone, Jewish York Times foreign editor, repeated Israel’s propaganda lie about Islam’s third most sacred worship place, Al-Aqsa Mosque built on top of the so-called “Temple Mount”.”
“The question, which many books and scholarly treaties have never definitively answered, is the 37-acre site, home to Islam’s sacred Dome of Rock shrine and Al-Aqsa Mosque, was also the precise location of two ancient Jewish temples, one built on the remains of the other, and both since gone.”
Now I see that the Hindoo saffronites and their ideological pals the Zionists have been comparing notes and strategising their “benevolant” machinations together.
For those who haven’t a clue what I mean, refer to Babri Masjid, Ayodhya.
nice post. thanks.
i read a long article on the council of foreign relations that would interest you about 3 weeks ago. for the life of me, i can’t remember the author or even the site. but, it definitely isn’t a fringe site or a pajama blogger.
i believe the group was established in the 1920’s. the piece stated that every ex-secretary of state, and all but one ex-secretary of defense has joined since the organization’s founding.
the council on foreign relations is also a proponent of a new world order. i suppose, the trilateral commission is too.
megalomaniacs are always with us. but attempting to manipulate & control a world population is akin to herding cats.
but these three nwo groups have influence.
The noxious ‘paper of record’ has a notorious past. During the 1930’s Ukrainian Holodomor, the Times ignored the mass murder of millions while heaping praise on the murderers, the Stalin regime.
Even now, the spell checkers so generously provided by Big Brother can not seem to admit that there is such a word as ‘Holodomor.’
Wasn’t the NYT also a cheerleader for Stalin and the Commies even while Uncle Joe was starving the Ukrainians?? The NYT was willfully blind or sympathetic to all the commie regimes ….
Mr. Wahlstrom,
Nicely done. The NY Times was once regarded as America’s premier News Outlet. It, was never pristine, but one could squeeze some facts out of its pages.
Today, the Rag is excruciatingly Boring, (which is usually a by-product of propaganda organs).
The Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post, and thousands of other print and informational medias, have declined into mind numbing and uninformative outlets.
It is one thing for a pretend Newspaper, such as the NYT to support imperialism, and exploitation, and the rule of the Oligarchs; the NYT and the others have ever been that. But it is another for them to become (decline into), mere propaganda outlets for Government controlling Oligarchs.
Some say, “The truth will make us free.” Unfortunately, the Truth is often, and lately, increasingly Buried. It is the truth, our Liberties, that have received an Obituary. Orwell believed that sad event happened in 1984, or, certainly, by then. I believe the obituary began, definitively, on November 22, 1963, and expanded from there.
For the Rebirth, we need to restore our Republic!
I wholeheartedly agree with the main argument of the NY Times having lost all vestiges of journalistic integrity and ethical standards. They have ceased to be anything more than a combination; mouthpiece, pr flak and investigative attack dogs for the extended Clinton crime family and their friends on the left.
That said, it’s hard to see this author’s work to not be his response to the Times’s articles (which he includes here), which have criticized him.
Whether valid criticism or not, it obviously is the source of Johannes Wahlstrom ‘s venom and it’s impossible to not wonder how much of his subsequent tirade against the Times is a direct result of that animus.
It’s amazing what roles foreigners play in our national life. We seem to lap it up.
A digression on remittances: If we imposed a hefty tax on them I bet we’d see a whole lot of self-deportation. Punitive taxation on our own citizens is perfectly OK, such as with cigarettes, so there’s no moral objection to collecting punitive income, Medicare, and employment taxes on the back end.
Of course, the official position is that only Bureau of Prisons buses and RR cattle cars can be used to deport people, who must be rounded up Evian Gonzalez-style.
You want to see serious heavy duty censorship, try posting comments over at the aggressively anti-trump site “the american cuck….er conservative”. In between displaying saintly religiosity, they never fail to censor any comment even remotely pro trump or anti jooie hooey…..all with a patina of intellectual superiority. One of them even works at a food bank handing out cans of crap to 300 lb starving afros and white trash in some third world pisshole called Louisiana.
In the final stage, the gray lady is turning tricks for the .gov, and she’ll do anything to survive.
It’s like Hillary at the 911 memorial, they’re all desperately trying to keep her alive because she ‘s TBTF.
The New York Times practices censorship of opinions that run contrary to their position. I had subscribed to their on-line edition. The paper would permit comments on some of the articles and opinion pieces. You’re are limited to 1500 characters plus spaces. For a while, my comments were shown alongside others. Then, this September, I found that I could not make comments or even access previous comments. They had cut me off completely. I contacted them and was told that my access had suffered a glitch. They were working on it.
I checked and saw that others were still able to comment and access this feature. But not me. I believe that the paper deliberately cut me off because I challenged their stories and analysis. I could not believe that they so wanted to control the story that they would ensure that contrary opinions would not appear.
I have ended my subscription. For all the talk of freedom of expression, it only applies if you follow the line they set.
When these vile cretins get their war with Russia, it just won’t matter how many lies they told to get there. The NYT is merely one small facet of the industrial lie-machine known as Zion, for lack of a more modern term. Their job was always to lie, but not of their own volition.
They’ve followed their mission-plan well. Now the BIG action is with the Mossad boys to implement the war the NYT has so feverishly set up.
But, like a bad script waiting for the Production Dept. to catch up, they’ve run their course, in more ways than their tiny brains can even imagine.
They didn’t even know they were writing comedy.
NYT is now part of the U.S. Regime Media.
The biggest story that Regime Media has failed to report is this, ‘the U.S. govt is supporting Al Qaeda aligned rebels in Syria against the Assad govt’. This has been true since at least 2013 and likely true since 2012 yet it has never been reported.
Instead, Regime Media has merely repeated the position of the U.S. State Dept. without any challenge whatsoever. What happened to the press that was suspicious of the govt narrative that existed during the Vietnam War? It evaporated in Iraq 2002 and is now just a mouthpiece of the govt. Sources exist other than the U.S. State Dept. Anyone who pays attention can easily see where our narrative falls apart.
I won’t go into details over all of the false narratives. I chose the most important example. If I sound bitter, it is because I am.
DISGUSTING ! Its becoming very obvious that the so called “mainstream” media is, IN FACT, protecting this or that Agenda…..NO WONDER people are turning to alternative media for RELYABLE information…..WHAT DISGUSTING PIECES OF SHIT ! The New York Time is part of TIME MAgazine? I am subscriber, I can tell you know….I WAS a subscrever….FUCK THEM !!
The decline in standards in the NYT this year has been astonishing. It is often impossible to tell if an article is in the NYT or clickbait Huffington Post if you are just offered a headline. Facts used have gone from being massaged to being outright false. What is weirder is that they don’t care if what they are saying is provably false.
Both the NY Times and the Washington Post (and other newspapers) were certainly in the pocket of FDR and the pro-war intelligence services of both the US and of Britain since at least the late 1930s. They happily slandered any and all isolationists and planted false stories to manipulate the public just as they have done for the intervening 75 years. They are and have been for decades little more than a mouthpiece for the ruling elite. Let us hope this election finishes them off.
Somewhere out there is a letter Stalin wrote praising Walter Duranty and the NYT as his favorite newspaper.
Here’s a link to book on same. https://www.amazon.com/Stalins-Apologist-Walter-Duranty-Timess/dp/0195057007
Hi, Greg!
Great little post. I’ve got a book about the Holodomor entitled “Execution by Hunger” by Miron Dolot. I haven’t read it yet but it’s near the top of my stack ‘to be read’.
Terrible thing the Holodomor…so many millions of lives snuffed out in such a unimaginably cruel and coldly systematic way.
This may be our fate if we can’t wake enough people up…Agenda 21 is being rolled out under our noses as we speak!
Check out the ~5x increase in the prevalence of the word “racism” in NYT articles between 2011 and 2016:
http://chronicle.nytlabs.com/?keyword=racism
“racist” is similar.
If you are going to make categorical assertions of an obscure fact, i.e., concerning the type of pellet that allegedly punctured the skin of MH-17, you really need to give a supporting reference or a link to an authoritative source if you wish your comment to be taken as a useful contribution to the discussion.
Hey, Larry!
I’ve got some books on the Council on Foreign Relations and a few on the Trilateral Commission…on the surface they look completely innocuous – beneficial even – but when you scratch away the fancy veneer and scrutinize their activities you quickly learn that they are VERY shady and sinister organizations indeed!
You said: “megalomaniacs are always with us.” True enough…but now we’ve got the power of the internets to keep an eye on them!
The comparison to Pravda is apt. As Solzhenitsyn explained, the propagandists of the old Soviet Union claimed, “we never make mistakes.”
Propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible governmentan old friend of mine, Bernays, said.
Contemporarily, % of people who “trust the media” has dropped by 8% from 2015 to 2016.
Personally, I believe the NYT has always been a voice, if not the voice, of the actual powers. There was a time, a bit more than a century ago, when mob lynching of unruly immigrants “unfairly” acquitted used to be commended. It was commended because that was what the actual powers, and also the culture prevailing at the time, wanted.
In the lapse of few days I read a Mr. Cohen say the USA should involve themselves harder in fighting to bring freedom in Syria and the Ukraine and oppose freedom-denying Russia, and noticed the previously really free comments sectionhad been turned into an instrument of demagoguery, under the editors’ strict control, a lifeless extension of the commented pieces.
I won’t be able to go back to read the NYT after that.
Dear peasants:
The New York Times is the highest standard of journalism in the world ever for all time. They still have my Pulitzer prize that I was awarded for serving Stalin by lying my ass off. A few years ago Ukranian human rights representatives tried to persuade Carlos Slim’s lackeys to take it off of the wall, and of course that didn’t happen.
The NY Times is the standard against which all other newspapers are judged. You deplorable rabble in your basket cannot hope to prevail against it.
The fact that the mainstream media by and large hates whites is one of the main things about it that appeals to the whites on the left.
The Holodomor victims’, and their few alive descendants’ average IQ is much less than 110-115.
You know, it’s people… how are they called?… of no consequence. Losers, of which less than 50% write books or hold respectable amounts of respectably respectable companie’ shares.
I really, really can’t see why we should think of the 10+ million people massacred in the Holodomor when none of their descendants has been Financial Times’, WSJ’s, or even The Economist’s editor-in-chief.
You know, I was there for the World Economic Forum in Davos the last time, and saw no people related with the Holodomor.
We are speaking of real nobodies. None of them in the board of any of the Big Three credit rating agencies.
I think we should talk of victims worthy of being remembered, who make themselves noticed by the world, like Hollywood, school programs all over the West, mainstream and niche media all over the West, have done for some a decade and seem to be going to keep doing, in the name, needless to say, of solidarity, equality, and — what a curious name — justice.
We had 6 million, or 6-million’s worth of victims of the people of divine nature, like wise man Jay Michaelson has tried to explain; no time or reasons to mind much if others, “undereducated” and “losers” were massacred.
They, and the circa 50-10 million people massacred by communism across the East, wouldn’t have founded Google and Facebook even if they had survived. That’s why the expression of no consequence.
Like a famous ad stated, life is about priorities.
You guys are sad.
You habitually accuse the UNZ Review readers in “swallowing Putin propaganda” when you asked to provide proofs for your cavalier Russophobic statements. In case you have not noticed yet, UNZ Review does not publish Eliot Higgins (and other experts in selling ladies underwear), but prefers to deal with the serious thinkers and professionals.
I am not aware of “Christian Franks” in Jerusalem before 638 CE. Enlighten me.
Also I would have thought the Romans who left their detritus would have been Greek speaking Byzantines n’est-ce pas?)
“…a text by Alex Gibney: “Johannes Wahlstrom, a Swedish journalist who helped to engineer a vilification campaign against the two women who accused Mr. Assange of sexual assaults”
Alex Gibnev happened to be a person of easy virtues, similar to his brother-in-lies Luke Harding.
The adulatory Times article was by Herbert Matthews. There was a famous National Review cartoon of Castro with the attribution “I got my job through the New York Times”.
What a strange person you are…funny, but strange!
You said: “We had 6 million, or 6-million’s worth of victims of the people of divine nature…” What?! Someone killed 6 million Tibetan Buddhists?! When? Where?!
Who is Jay Michaelson? Never heard of him. Is he that guy who the cops busted having anal sex with those homeless Negros?
After I finish reading “Execution by Hunger: The Hidden Holocaust” I’m either going to read “The Holocaust Hoax Exposed: Debunking The 20th Century’s Greatest Fabrication” by Victor Thorn, or, “The Invention of the Jewish People” by Shlomo Sand. They’re both so good…maybe I’ll flip a coin.

What an appropriate handle.
Why might they – or at least some quite junior staff – regard you as important enough or your comments as powerful enough to engage in the censorship which they appear to deny?
I have never studied the Jewish Holocaust, but is it not the case that Hitler did indeed hate Jews and sought to exterminate them, directly or indirectly, e.g., through brutal forced labor, just as he planned to exterminate most of the inhabitants of Eastern Europe to make way for German expansion?
Moreover, is it not the case that whatever the exact number, millions of Jews did indeed die as a direct or indirect result of Nazi policy.
If those premises are granted, the question is not whether the Jewish Holocaust happened, but why it has a legally enforced special status, which prohibits Europeans from speaking or publishing research findings that question any aspect of the official Holocaust narrative, and which has resulted in the creation of a special US State Department office dedicated to fighting “anti-Semitism,” plus numerous publicly and privately funded brainwashing programs to indoctrinate children with the idea that the Jews were specially singled out for destruction, whereas, in fact, Hitler intended the destruction of many people, including homosexuals, gypsies, mental defectives, Poles and Russians.
The answer to that question, I suggest, is to give Jews, particularly those represented by the State of Israel, a special victim status which they can repeatedly exploit to extract money, weapons and sympathy from Britain, France, the US, Germany and other countries. It does this in two ways. First, by its simple appeal for sympathy, Second, by the reaction it elicits from some less naive people, who can then be help us as proof of the fact that Jews are specially hated by the goyim — the result of what one prominent, Nobel-prize winning Jew referred to as the age-old goyish mental disease of anti-Semitism.
This alleged proof of ongoing Jewish victimization is then used most profitably to evoke sympathy from naive taxpayers who fund much of Israel’s military expenditures, nuclear weapons programs, etc.
I used to read it religiously as a youth and young adult. I haven’t bothered in years. I call it the propaganda media.
NYT has been fabricating stories as long as it exists to assist USA government engineer regime changes and colour revolutions, and wage reckless wars on the fabricated allegations around the world, as well as white wash American war crimes. NYT is the core of the Western black information network to spread disinformation and misinformation for the American conquest of global full spectrum dominance via organised violence and committing crime against humanity.
It is puzzling why the NYT has sentenced itself to wither away into irrelevance because it works with the government to suppress stories, covering up election fraud in the ruling party and ruthlessly campaigning against the main US opposition leader Donald Trump while it has been doing the same unscrupulous things since its existence? Is it because the author’s sense of justice is selective, and he feels the American is exceptional, injustice applies to people not American does not count?
It’s popular on the alt-right to denigrate Scandinavians, and especially Swedes, but let me say: you’ve got balls, Sir.
I really love the Unz commenting system. The ability to follow a thread through linking, and to trace the history of any commenter, is superb, best I have seen anywhere, and without the “indenting” that Mars other comment systems.
I give great credit to Unz for his somewhat open-sourced method of adding comments features.
Interesting that the NY Times has a publicly accessible tool that allows one to graph the newspaper’s fixation on certain topics. I applied the term “transgender,” those mostly men (males) identifying as women and demanding access to previously women only spaces (bathrooms and locker and shower rooms), and found an almost identical rocket ship rise in the newspaper’s fixation on transgenders beginning in 2010-2011 (parallel with and to almost the same extreme heights as the words “racist” and “racism“).
Given the downward trend of using the words racist and racism until the dramatic 5X up tick in 2011, that you noted, I wonder what explains the timing of the change.
Perhaps the NY Times owners’ appointment of New Orleans born African-American / Creole / black journalist Dean Baquet as Managing Editor in September 2011 and his promotion to Executive Editor on May 14, 2014 signaled their intent to dramatically escalate the racial focus. Carlos Slim also bought into the NY Times in 2008 and increased his holdings in 2012.
The on-line word tracing tool, Google N-Gram Viewer displays a similar dramatic recent rise in the appearance of words like racism and racist and transgender in books. Like the Chronicle.NYTLABS tool that you site, the N-Gram Viewer visually graphs the percent of books using selected words or phrases over a selected time period from the 25 million books scanned and digitized by Google. You can track the use of words in multiple languages from as early as 1700 up to 2009.

Sadly, not just the NY Times has been racialized and transgenderized and social warriorized.
Rudyard Kipling — ‘I am, by calling, a dealer in words; and words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.’
The other drug dealers will die and go out of business first. The newspapers have an incentive to see them die. The paid death notice.
In his next sentence he said, “Not only do words infect, egotize, narcotize, and paralyze, but they enter into and colour the minutest cells of the brain ….”

1) The WMD in Iraq were being unearthed straight through the occupation. Only in 2012 did the NY Times — of all publications — flatly admit that they’d suppressed the truth all those years — at the request of the Pentagon for obvious national security reasons.
A SINGLE binary nerve agent round (155mm) — properly detonated — could have killed thousands of New Yorkers commuting by subway.
Hundreds of these rounds were ultimately recovered. The enemy never understood what they had their hands on, as Saddam had ensured that these nerve agent rounds looked identical to conventional rounds. He’s the only madman that crazy.
( He did so to hide their usage from the French military advisors during his Iranian invasion. )
2) The Dutch are correct. MH-17 can’t be resolved as the Russians and Ukrainians have essentially identical counter-air assets. Both parties have every reason to lie; and to screw up. The flight should never have been routed anywhere near the conflict. KAL 007 and Iran Air 655 should’ve been warning enough.
3) The US MSM is over concentrated to a ruinous degree. Ditto for America’s J-schools, whose ethos is to propagandise the World for its betterment.
4) It’s no joke that the NY Times regards anyone west of the Hudson to be rubes.
5) They can spew it out — but can’t take correction — at ANY level. This causes a profound detachment from ground truth.
I have seen some Wild Shit on the Internet but this takes the cake.

Newsflash: 9/11 was BEFORE the Iraq War II. Iraq War I was even before that. That's about 10 years during which rounds lying around from Iraq War I (and there were whole stockpiles of them, nicely built with US know-how) could have gone all the way to the "New York subway"

I agree, the Unz commenting system just needed some getting used to after the WaPo system and Disqus. It’s very good.

Holodomor figures are enormously exaggerated, probably to outdo the 6 million ….
And if NYT silenced the result of the angloamerican pushpull action the Hearst media later made all the more of it using nazi propaganda material. The Us had depression and the oligarchy was desperate to blackwash any alternative system.
Pushpull:first sponsoring and helping the bolsheviks to take Russia, then as they continued the necessary industrialization already begun by Tsar Russia, (and that btw was part of the reason the revolution was forced upon them) and bought machines from Britain, the latter refused to accept payment other than in grain. Guess why! Both the Us and Uk did that to provoke starvation. And the Soviets predicted they would be attacked in a decade so it was about life and death for them to get the industry up and running.
Yes, I was (apparently) banned from commenting on that site for suggesting that several of their bloggers (some regular contributors, some not) seemed to favor a certain religious denomination as Conservatism’s official religion. Didn’t seem all that controversial to me. Hats off to Ron Unz for not censoring comments.
I’d find a good Jew lawyer. If they can’t prove their claims, it is libel. Send a message.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Transgender peaks below racism (as you noted), but the rise is much more dramatic–thanks for pointing that one out.
Google N-Gram Viewer is great, but they don’t seem to be updating it so it’s less useful for tracking changes since Obama became president.
Interesting thoughts about NYT changes as causes. I’ve tended to attribute the “racism” change to Obama’s second term and post-Trayvon (early 2012) incitement, but you might have a better explanation. I wonder if the NYT articles database includes details like authors and section of the newspaper. It would be fascinating to see a more detailed analysis of who/what section seem to be driving the changes.
One fear I have is that publicizing these examples of NYT word frequency will cause the Chronicle tool to disappear.
NYT RIP? RIP hell, I hope it burns to the ground. And as for “its sister newspaper Pravda of the Soviet Union”, they are twin sisters.
Very much doubt they’d do that. Not that they have principles. Would take too much time. They simply don’t print the comment. I have maybe one in ten printed, I’ve stopped wondering why. I think they have some fifth columnists there, to be honest, some comments I make are so innocuous, so un-inflammatory but they still don’t get printed, convinced it’s payback for all my anti-Israel comments, most of which, natch, but not all, don’t get published.
The New York Times has soiled its reputation long time ago. But to observe a vulgarization of the previously respectful New Yorker is rather painful; the nest of intellectuals has become a nest of opportunistic half-wits. The New Yorker’ pandering to Clinton is beyond ridiculous.
On the contrary, I have heard the exact opposite, although I cannot find the reference at the moment (i.e. very old model Buk, probably escaped from some Ukrainian hangar).
AFAIK, the US still hasn’t delivered on the promises of having “proof” as made by Kerry. This alone stinks.
Russia has also come clean that regular troops have been sent to the Donbas
I guess we are really dealing with alternate realities here. This MAY have happened but if it did, Russia sure won’t say.
Interestingly, NYT published a non-front-page article about the the Donbas in early 2015, where the journalist went looking for Russians but didn’t find any anywhere.

So there was a coverup of the fact that those rounds which were used as legitimization to go to war actually did not not exist? Makes sense … if you are making a movie for George Lucas.

“As a Swedish reader of The New York Times, I may be surprised that the paper has ignored election rigging in the governing party of the United States serious enough to cause its top five officials to resign.” Governing partey? Now, please explain. Is that the R which is in control of the legislature, or the D in control of the WH? Not to defend the NYT, but I detect this writer has an ax to grind, so has gone a bit overboard. This comment is not a news story. Just my opinion!
The NYTimes receives occult payments from the Clinton foundation. In return of controlling the narrative. I have it from the inside.
This is aligned with what professor Stephen F. Cohen, (an esteemed academic on all things Russian) claimed about the downing of Flight 17. He said there was no evidence that the plane had been shot down by Russians and claims by Washington to suggest otherwise were counter-factual.
The professor also speculated the new “cold war” was more about NATO expansion than about human rights.
Cohen is published regularly in The Nation and is a frequent guest on the John Batchelor radio show. He has spoken out on the tragic state of affairs in the Ukraine for years and America’s destructive role in it.
The CBC.ca website always had a commenting system that was at least worthwhile despite some annoying censorship and a less-than-optimal format. Within two weeks of Justin Trudeau’s election, the censorship hammer came down hard and now anyone interested in learning or offering truths has no business visiting the site. Its downright scary.
Okay here it is : We are past the point of debating any sense into the heads of these leftist ignoranti, we are past the point of disecting issues, and trying to expose and correct the misunderstandings and distorted viewpoints held by them, amen, period, basta.
All we are now left with is the cold, hard, brutal realization that we are dealing with lunatics and if we truely have a stake in preserving a modicum of sanity and civility we must come to grips with this FACT:
They, the leftist journalists, politicians, edumacators, “artists”, jurists, etc, etc, : They are insane, nuts, bonkers, and it shear impossible, futile to try to reason with them, take it from there.

Well Johannes. It looks like the NYT has finally met someone in Donald Trump that is going to take them on in the courts. The new hit piece dealing with these two women was the last straw. There is very little journalistic integrity left.
Thank you for the article by Johanne Walstrom he shows tremendous courage Like Winston Churchill before the battle of Britain 1940. We shall prevail over this attempted coup! The NYT will go into the trash bin of history with most off its efforts in the past. Unlike Winston Churchill a true and honest Journalist..look at his work and life. What the American press has accomplished in a few short weeks is credulous and sedisas . Trump is not the smartest with his mouth but he is Honest .God help America. God has surely left your shores you have chosen Barabbas and Barbabas you shall have.
Of course,they are zions arm in America,completely Jewish owned and completely full of shite.
A bunch of mole traitors,all in on divide and conquer,and hopefully there are still enough patriots left on Nov.8 to send them a number 1 message.
Never has there been such outright lying concerning a potential POTUS,DT,and his message of America First is the last thing these monsters want,as their reign of terror ends.
Wouldn’t that be something?!
. And I felt sad for the American readers, many of whom still had no idea of what was happening on the top floors of The New York Times Building on 8th Avenue.
The changes in reader commentary police occured in the last year should make it a little easier for the NYT’s tool readers to awake to reality.
Why, I should have written should have made. There is nothing that can awake the masses from masterfully administered hypnosis.
The only change history allows of concerning their condition is, a change of masters.
Since the last few months I am however no longer sad about any of this, for during the current election cycle in the United States, The New York Times has so clearly abandoned all rudimentary standards of journalism and alienated its readership so badly, that it has sentenced itself to wither away into irrelevance.
Here is the error the cognitive elite is very prone to making: overvaluing the intellectual wariness of “people”. Note: intellectual wariness is much more of a scarcely spread attribute than naked intelligence.
(And even if the NYT lost credence, the Huffington Posts and Guardians would substitute for it in the mind of the for-a-second awake.)
I’m a little unclear on what exactly Wahlstrom objected to in the NYT op-ed. Is he denying that he ever wrote anything critical or revelatory about Assange’s accuser, or is he simply objecting to the harsh language used to describe his reporting?
Mr. Wahlstrom raises a real and substantive issue regarding the Times’ chronic abnegation of its mission in the service of its own aims and objectives. As has been witnessed and proven over decades by reasonably intelligent people, the agenda to be serviced may not have anything to do with a beast called Truth. It conceives of its premise based on an ultimate objective (Iraq war is only one example) and proceeds to build a case.
Unfortunately, Mr. Wahlstrom seriously undermines the credibility of his writing by proving how his own case was denigrated by the Times’ staff. While the episode may be entirely valid and true, and quite likely is, it muddies the journalistic integrity of his well-written piece.
“Because even propaganda has to be good, for it to have any value.” – well said! Good one!
This entire incident, including the e-mail exchange, is incredibly infuriating.
The news media in the US, and probably the world, has evolved into a mouthpiece for social engineering, feudal peasant ignorance, crowd control, the tyranny of political correctness, ideological speculation and self-serving congratulatory adulation of globalist liberalism. Following the dictates of the financier oligarchy, they have managed to successfully dash their hierarchical brains against the modern technological imperative and its stepchild, the Internet and peer to peer lateral communication. Their ideologically propelled mischaracterizations of Hillary’s chances while the rest of us had mouse click access to the raw data, made it apparent EVEN TO THEMSELVES, that they are as blind as a Daniel Quayle potatoe.
All of this sounds exactly like FOX News
Mohammad has no claim to God whatsoever. He is nothing more than an idealoligist, who started an idology based on subjugation of women and conqured adversaries. Kill or subjugate to conquer.
Religion, my ass.
Disgusting bigotry all around.
Strangely enough you ommited the main goal and driving force behind the world media :
The installation of a world-wide singular government in the form of : Communism.
