To sum up this thread: The NYT said the "easiest way" for the US to hold Russia and China "in check" is by "uploading more weapons." NYT ignored China's policy of not using nukes first and the US' opposite policy—despite the article being funded by groups that say they want to reduce nuclear danger.
The NYT's obfuscation of China's nuclear weapons ambitions continues in a hawkish opinion article published today titled "Let the Arms Race Begin."

WaPo's editorial board published an article about the attack on Ilhan Omar in which they called her views "extreme" in the subhed but failed to explain how they are "extreme" in the text. WaPo also ignored Trump's Islamophobic attacks on Omar.

Ilhan Omar hasn’t just been “a frequent target” of Trump as the NYT frames it in an update about the attack on her yesterday. Nor are these just "inflammatory remarks." Trump has made repeated Islamophobic attacks on Omar.

We saw similar American exceptionalism framing by NYT columnist Nicholas Kristof, who wrote four days ago that an action by China (military exercise) "elevate the peril" while an action by the US ($11 billion arms sale to Taiwan) that preceded China's action is "deterrence."

The NYT ran a column today by Kurt Campbell—chairman of The Asia Group and a former deputy secretary of state—who said that the $11 billion arms sale to Taiwan was a "challenge to Beijing", but framed Trump's overall China policy as one of "ambiguity."
