Thank you, Yves, for linking to Moon of Alabama’s explication of why the NYT and Guardian dutifully conceal the fact that their oppressed-person-du-jour Protasevich is actually an ardent neo-Nazi. In this context I think it’s well worth going back to Moon of Alabama’s November 20 post, which showed in its own words how the NYT recruits its propagandists-formerly-known-as-journalists:
Did you ever wonder, MoA asked back in November, why ‘western’ mainstream media get stories about Russia and other foreign countries so wrong? It is simple. They hire the most brainwashed, biased and cynical writers they can get for the job. Those who are corrupt enough to tell any lie required to support the world view of their editors and media owners…. Here is evidence in form of a New York Times job description for a foreign correspondent position in Moscow:
“World’s Most Vaccinated Nation Is Spooked by Covid Spike”
I’m reading this to say that the Seychelles was at fault for going with China’s Sinopharm vaccine when they should have gone with a superior product – like the Pfizer vaccine which Israel uses. At least they did mention that nearly half the population of the Seychelles got vaccinated with Astrazeneca but did not criticize that vaccine. You read the story and they criticize the 56 countries that went with China’s Sinopharm vaccine instead of going with vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Not mentioned is the fact that those countries went with China’s Sinopharm vaccine or Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine because the wealthy countries hogged all the vaccine supplies to themselves leaving all those other countries swinging unprotected in the wind. So no honest reporting from the New York Times which can be a real garbage publication at times.
