New York Times & Covid Lies

The only thing I’d add to Jeff’s worthwhile post “Now It Can Be Told,” about the media’s complicity in covering for Covid authorities and Biden’s health, is that publishing a piece after it matters is not only unhelpful but also an attempt to obfuscate the publication’s role in delegitimizing opposing views.

In 20 or 30 years, when the difference between a 2022 or 2025 tell-all has become hazy, the Times will be remembered as the truth-telling publication, and its reporting will be cited in academic papers as an authority. It’s not only that what the “paper of record” has produced has little to no function, but it’s also that they are lying to all future researchers about their role in the most febrile years of the pandemic.
