NYT is much more than inaccurate, it is much more than a 'Fake News', it is much more than a despicable excuse for journalism, the NYT is propagandist trash.
Here is Richard Mynick's take on recent NYT article;
"The NYT has published an editorial that’s a must-read for students of US propaganda. It’s a response to Trump’s blurting out a bit of truth (“There are lots of killers. What, you think our country is so innocent?”) in his Sunday interview with Bill O’Reilly.
The editorial is fascinating both for the sheer number of lies it packs into a few paragraphs, & for its unearned tone of sanctimonious high dudgeon. Basically the Times is apoplectic that Trump refused to call Putin names (even when pressed to do so by O’Reilly), and refused to make the usual idiotic claims about the US being some sort of ‘champion of freedom and human rights,’ blah blah blah.
Among the op-ed’s lies are the usual absurd fantasies such as: that Russia’s role in Syria should be considered ‘murderous’ while the US role should be seen as ‘honorable;’ that the US invasion of Iraq (an act many orders of magnitude worse than anything Putin ever did) should be called a ‘mistake’ (as opposed, for example, to a ‘monstrous war crime’); that Russia ‘invaded’ Ukraine in 2014 (No, it didn’t); & that Russia ‘interfered’ in the US election (No, sorry, that’s a lie too).
Then the Times, after foaming at the mouth about how terrible it is that Trump ‘failed’ to call Putin names like ‘thug’ and ‘murderer,’ presents as examples of proper behavior for US politicians none other than Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, two of the most repulsive figures in Congress.
There’s something deeply hilarious about a so-called ‘liberal’ newspaper holding up someone like McConnell as a model of proper patriotic behavior."
