For years, the New York Times has had a cosy relationship with the China Daily which itself is a mouthpiece of the Chinese communist party. I remember seeing several pro-China op-eds and advertorials in the NYT during the pre-Covid days, scratching my head wondering if I was in a different universe. At the same time, there were several dozen covert and overt editorials that bashed countries and governments that were not pro-China. For example they continue to publish several blatant anti-Indian and anti-Hindu pieces which sound more like sensationalist attention-grabbing propaganda. As a former paid subscriber to the NYT, it's sobering and sad to see how they have pivoted and where they're headed.
