Most americans don’t pay attention to this, but it’s pretty insane.

Leaked NYT Gaza Memo Tells Journalists to Avoid Words “Genocide,” “Ethnic Cleansing,” and “Occupied Territory"
The news section actually DOES use those words.

In a First, Leading Israeli Rights Groups Accuse Israel of Gaza Genocide*

The Times has been far too distracted as of late by worries over President Joe Biden’s age, allowing it to steal attention away from the larger and far more serious danger posed by a second Trump administration
Biden’s age was indeed a major concern. If they didn’t cover it, they would have been accused of a cover up.
Their coverage of Trump was extremely good and extensive:
Americans voted for him. That’s their choice.




















He isn’t completely wrong. He is just an asshole.
This guy owns the largest oil company in Colorado.
