After receiving the text for the ad quoted above, a representative from the advertising team suggested AFSC use the word “war” instead of “genocide” – a word with an entirely different meaning both colloquially and under international law. When AFSC rejected this approach, the New York Times Ad Acceptability Team sent an email that read in part: “Various international bodies, human rights organizations, and governments have differing views on the situation. In line with our commitment to factual accuracy and adherence to legal standards, we must ensure that all advertising content complies with these widely applied definitions.”
You can call the NYT a bunch of things but I’d argue its hardly far right fascist propaganda.
It’s hard to argue supporting a fascist dictator commiting genocide after decades of explicitly lying on behalf of the most authoritarian US leaders and decisions makes it far right fascist propaganda?
The nyt supported the Iraq war, justified the patriot act, supported sanctions against Cuba, and has consistently downplayed any genocide committed by white countries.
