The New York Times would never mention the EZLN. =)
- pavel_lishin 9y agoWhy not?
- matt4077 9y agoThe New York Times has an archive of news and background on the Zapatista with hundreds of articles: https://www.nytimes.com/topic/organization/zapatista-national-liberation-army https://www.nytimes.com/topic/organization/zapatista-nationa...
- sdenton4 9y agoSure, but how many column inches did those articles occupy? And how does that compare to the number of column inches dedicated to consumer capitalist interests?! </chomsky>
- stretchwithme 9y agoProbably a lot more for the general topic and very little for the very specific topic. As one would expect.
- matt4077 9y agoThe goalpost has now moved, and the new question is obviously impossible to answer. It's also worth noting that "consumer capitalist interests" is a term I've never heard and, more importantly, neither has Chomsky, who never used the term.
- schoen 9y agoThey've reported on them dozens of times https://www.nytimes.com/topic/organization/zapatista-national-liberation-army https://www.nytimes.com/topic/organization/zapatista-nationa... though strangely apparently not between 2005 and 2017.
- hateduser2 9y agoThat’s a pretty big gap
- schoen 9y agoI thought so too, but another commenter here found that they were repeatedly reported on during that time, just not tagged as the main subject of the articles. (But maybe this change still does reflect a different level of editorial interest in them during that time.)

The tags are often just used for larger features, not every news item. https://www.google.com/search?q=site:nytimes.com+zapatista&rls=en&tbs=cdr:1,cd_min:2006,cd_max:2016&ei=D65TWuSJH8iNkwX7y56wAg&start=0&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=1006 https://www.google.com/search?q=site:nytimes.com+zapatista&r...
