Is it "End Times" at The New York Times?

The Daily Show's July 2009 look at the New York Times' "day-old news." Jason Jones' segment was so merciless, it made me amazingly sympathetic toward The Times.

I WATCHED THE NEWS TODAY, OH BOY!

On CNN a few minutes ago, I saw horrific images of flooding in and around Houston.  And then this announcement: “'THE LEAD WITH JAKE TAPPER' BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE.”  Which is why we can’t trust corporate-dominated news, and should instead rely on indy sources not sponsored by big oil & gas.  Here’s today’s Democracy Now! segment on climate change-linked floods now devastating South Asia.  And yesterday’s DN! segment about Texas: "How Climate Change Is Fueling Massive Storms like Harvey."

Why does the N.Y. Times insist on rewriting history . . .

. . . to sanitize U.S. foreign policy? It’s well-documented (partly thanks to internal docs from WikiLeaks) that the U.S. government (under Obama and Sec of State Clinton) enabled the 2009 right-wing military coup in Honduras that has led to much repression and bloodshed, including the assassination of renowned indigenous and environmental leader Berta Caceres. But a NYT report recently claimed that the Obama administration worked to get the elected president of Honduras returned to office in 2009.  Reality was quite the opposite, as FAIR's Janine Jackson points out HERE.
