At first I thought this article was Greenwald getting a bit overzealous, but after reading what the NYT/CNN actually wrote, I can agree that they were intentionally trying to hide the fact that the US bombed the hospital.
There's absolutely no question about who attacked the hospital, and yet both the NYT and CNN seem to hem and haw and use distracting, meaningless language to distance the US from the slaughter of civilians. I expect about as much from both of those news rags of course, but still, it seems as though for some reason they are getting their strings pulled specifically to obfuscate. Based off of the evasive language they used, I'd suspect some kind of Ministry of Culture to be patrolling-- of course, there is no such overt thing.
The bewildering part is that other mainstream media outlets that are usually of poor journalistic integrity in favor of government interests are reporting that the US was in fact the striker, unambiguously, with no pretense of deniability. Even the US military accepts that it called in a bad airstrike! This makes the exceptional effort expended on deception by the NYT and CNN very confusing.
