NY Times’ Pathetic Whitewashing Of N@zis In Ukraine! (Jimmy Dore)

Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the New York Times was well aware of the neo-Nazi “problem” among Ukrainian militias like the Azov Battalion. But then that became inconvenient, and the Times conveniently reframed Azov as “celebrated.” Now, however, the Times has (re)discovered these militias’ members’ tendency to don Nazi insignias and patches, but describes this phenomenon not as an indicator of the problem of Nazism among the fighters, but rather as a problem for NATO in trying to counter Russian “propaganda.”



Apparently, for the New York Times, the biggest problem about all the Na zi insignias, that are all over the place in Ukraine, is that the Russians can use it as propaganda directed at the Western public. It doesn't matter if it is true, like where the West was supporting ISIS and Al Qaeda groups in Syria, the only problem is if the public starts to question the wisdom in supporting the conflict (a neocon regime change project).
