The Times has been blocked repeatedly, maybe even semi-permanently, in China. It gets blocked in other countries too, IIRC. In the U.S., the Times published Chelsea Manning's leaked State Dept documents, it broke the story on Hilary Clinton's email sever, it reported the Wikileaks' DNC emails for months up to the US presidential election, and now it aggressively goes after Trump. While it's imperfect, I don't see which part of the establishment it so strongly supports.

>While it's imperfect, I don't see which part of the establishment it so strongly supports. The State Department. NYT is vital in fabricating the history of conflicts and internal problems that have ever affected the United States. to name a few : Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, the War on Drugs, the Indochina wars, Cuba, Mexico, outside-of-country extradition, continual abuse and outright breaking of UN laws and sanctions, etc. That's not even mentioning their (the NYT) history of character assassination with regards to civil rights leaders, activists, authors, speakers, and alternative thinkers. ...OR you get the Chomsky treatment, and they pretend that you don't exist for a few decades. I didn't bother with citations, there are plenty to read through with just a cursory search engine query, but since I already invoked the name of the beast, i'll let him tell you about NYT[0]. NYT's is systematically biased in who or what it chooses to illuminate for the public to digest. Don't be surprised when they do good by you -- it's all character building -- just like this news that they're embracing tor. Boy, aren't they just keen!
