In a time when people, non criminals and citizens are being swept off the street with no recourse just for not being White, #pantone decides the color of the year is White. This stuff doesn't happen by accident right? There wasn't one person in the room to say no?

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Again, we are in a moment where the U.S. government appears to be claiming the authority to kill anyone involved with the drug trade, without any warning or due process.
That potentially includes a LOT of Americans.

Another lethal strike, this time allegedly against a vessel affiliated with the ELN.
And no, the ELN is not like al Qaeda.
The ELN has not attacked the United States like AQ did on 9/11.
And Congress has not authorized the use of force.

This is essentially a dishonest apologia, since it doesn't square with NYT's historical reporting of mass protests. At present, NYT doesn't cover content, and doesn't cover count. It ignores the protests, while amplifying the message of the regime. Pathetic.

It is notable that the Times article did not mention this, which, in itself, should be a huge, ongoing scandal, particularly in light of all of the concern about condescension to ordinary Americans that the Democrats supposedly display.

The obvious observation that appears on the front page of every serious newspaper in Europe and the UK today, but NYT, WSJ and WaPo are afraid to observe.
Important to note Trump continues to approach Ukraine in ways that directly undermine US, allied and Ukrainian interests and support Russia, rhetoric and desired optics of appearing as a middleman aside. Weapons and aid from US to Ukraine blocked or cut, Russian views advocated, pressure withheld.
