Quotes about the The New York Times

  • Thebest literature in this countrynow is being written byminorities,black womenfirst, Chinese Americans, Chicanos, Japanese-Americans. These people are writing wonderful literature that totally defies the standards of WASP literature that is always in the New York Times, and I love it.
  • TheNew York Timesreleased sequel six in the best-selling Putin-the-Poisoner series on September 22. The incredibly gifted juniorG-men and womenin theTimes Towerhave sleuthed yet another episode of boundless evildoing by the arch-villainVladimir Vladimirovich Putin.“The editorial board,” we are informed, “is a group of opinion journalists whose views are informed by expertise, research, debate and certain longstanding values....
    In this blue state special, they spin the tale ofRussiandissidentAlexei Navalnypoisoned with “a nerve agent developed by theSoviet Union.”Jacobin calls Navalny, who is aright-winganti-immigrant blogger andYouTubecelebrity, “Russia’sTrump.”
    From the “established fact” that a poisoning occurred, the rest of the Times editorial is pureconjecture.After the poisoning and spending two days in a Russian hospital, the victim flew off toGermany....
    In achain of custodynot revealed, the “colleagues” sent the “evidence” out of Russia toGermanythen also toFranceandSweden,where it was subsequently “confirmed by laboratories.” “The powerful poison,” we are told is used “against foes of theRussian regime.”
    Only in the cartoonish mindset of the NYT do the perpetually bungling villains leave such blatant clues to their crimes. The editorial board declares, “many questions remain unanswered and are likely to remain so. Chief among them is whether President Vladimir Putin ordered or approved the attempted assassination.” Later in the editorial, this chief question is answered: “Mr. Putin knows what happened...” but “…he continues to hide behind glaringly phony denials.”
  • Outside the comic book world that the editorial paints, there are questions not addressed by theTimes.Why, after five previous incidents, has the Russian security state not learned to administer fatal doses of poison and cover up their tracks? Why would Putin repeatedly order hits on dissidents that every time boomerang on him by publicizing their grievances and inviting punishingsanctions?An alternative explanation for this poisoning story is that this is a setup to discredit and weaken an official enemy of theUS imperial state.
    The nation’s newspaper of record has a long history as a faithful mouthpiece of empire.On spinning the Putin-the-Poisoner tale, the Times has been but one voice in the Russo-phobic chorus of western media. The truth of the Navalny case is hard to ascertain. What is clear is that the “evidence” that the Times touts has not been made public but has been used to bludgeon Russia.
    Putin is not up for election. But there is something else at stake and that is, as the Times editorial mentions, the possible “cancellation of the    Nord Stream 2 pipeline,a gas conduit from Russia to Germany,” which is of vital economic interest to Russia. The US, now the world’s leading producer of fossil fuels, opposes the project. In a bipartisan effort, the US even threatens “crushing legal and economic [secondary] sanctions” on the German seaport of Sassnitz for supplying the project.
  • Our bureaucracy doesn’t always speak with one voice, and… those who don’t speak with one voice usually speak to the New York Times.
    • Henry Kissinger,quoted from Bass, G. J. (2014). The Blood telegram: Nixon, Kissinger, and a forgotten genocide.
  • Burn down the New York Times
    And make it pay forcrimes
    Made worse by its pretension
    To have no ill intention,
    Made worse by its façade
    That seems as clean asGod.
  • In the broadest strokes, the Times’ coverage of India is almostOrientalist—it’s almost as if it’s a backward place characterised bynationalism,violence,sexual assault.I read in an article somewhere, where they just flatly stated that there’s a rampantrape culturein India. And I was like, what? So, I actually started to look at the statistics to see what they meant. And you look at thestatistics,and they’re a fraction of cases from what theUSorWestern Europeexperiences. How can you make an assertion like that when the statistics are not even close to being there? So that was what I wanted to understand. I think on the broad level India (is portrayed as) being this nationalist kind of bully. And I think on a more specific level, it’s ananti Hinduapproach. I have a list of headlines here from the New York Times. One is “why India’s farmers fight to save a broken system”. Another is “underModi,aHindu nationalistsurge has further divided India”. “What the rape and murder of a child reveals about Modi’s India”. “Deathis the only truth (that’s a quote) watching India’s funeral pyres burn”. “India’s battered free press” —on and on and on and on and on. And you go back toChinaand you look at the China reporting for example, on thepandemic.In August of 2020, there the New York Times is celebratingChina’s victory over Covidand taking theCCP’s statistics of Covid deaths at face value. The statistics the CCP provides are absurd, but the New York Times prints them, gives them that credibility. So you think to yourself why is there this division in how they coverChinaand how they cover India? Why is one being shown as this sort ofprogressiveplace that has managed to conquer apandemicand the other this backward place characterised by funeral pyres andrape—and that’s what I’m trying to understand.
