EDITED to note: I did not realize when I posted this that it was actually written in October, 2025 about an older NYT op-ed, because the complaint is exactly the same. Fresh off the NYT article, I happened to see this in the sidebar of the Common Dreams article about Saturday's (March 28, 2026) protests. My error. Thanks to @AmidFuror@fedia.io in /c/politics for pointing it out.


For those who haven't read it, this is the NYT article in question. I should not that the author gets thoroughly schooled in the comments:

A Challenge for ‘No Kings’ Protests, the Third Time Around -- by Jeremy W. Peters for the NYT

Reminder that the New York Times has always been a fan of fascism. I do mean always. Literally since fascism was born. They fucking loved Mussolini so much.

It's easy to lie for the fascists than be held to a high standard of journalism.
