Yea, if it's from the NYT 99% it's a psyop.

Tbf I really don't trust any corporate MSM, regardless whether USA or any place else. In fact I'm just about beyond trusting any media, for that matter. None of us knows Jack Smack, unless we get it from each other on the ground in the area, and that's filtered through a personal perception, complete with our own blind spots. But I'll give it a listen later.

It's good to distrust, but ultimately we need to develop media literacy and dive into the media to find out what's actually going on. A lot of news is either minimizing or exaggerating real events, so there is usually some truth (though not always, like I think with the NYT bit here).

I appreciate that, and agree there's usually some kernel of truth, and we've already been so incorrect. The sociopaths have adapted, and we have to adapt too.
