Several New York Times Staff Previously Worked for CCP-Controlled Media: Report
Epoch Times ^ | 04/10/2021 | ISABEL VAN BRUGEN

Several current New York Times staffers were previously employed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-controlled English-language newspaper China Daily, which has in recent years paid U.S. media millions of dollars to publish its state-approved content.

Current employees at the New York Times who formerly worked for the Chinese state-run media outlet include; Jonah Kessel, Director of Cinematography at the Times; Diarmuid McDermott, a current Staff Editor and Designer at the outlet; and Europe culture reporter Alex Marshall, the National Pulse found.

In now-deleted Twitter posts, Kessel, who took on the role of China Daily’s Creative Director from July 2009 to November 2010, wrote that working for the CCP sometimes has its “benefits.” He also mentioned that he was “psyched” for starting the role, which included “redesigning” the propaganda arm of the CCP.

He had disclosed in several posts that he was “working for” and “getting paid” by Chinese state media.

“You know you work for the PRC [The People’s Republic of China] when the first word that comes to your mind when asked to describe your work place is ‘harmonious’ #china,” Kessel wrote in a Twitter post in November 2009.

According to McDermott’s LinkedIn profile and personal website, he worked as editor and designer for China Daily in a Hong Kong-based role for eight years—from November 2012 to November last year. He assumed the same role at the NY Times last year, and is still based in Hong Kong.

He revamped China Daily’s “Asia Weekly” publication, which, according to his profile, involved “Copy editing; Rewriting raw copy; Designing layout and graphics; Sourcing news stories and pictures; Developing and maintaining a web presence across multiple platforms; Outputting pages for printers across the region.”

Marshall was reportedly employed by China Daily as an editor between 2003 and 2004.

This should be a mind-blowing revelation.

Unfortunately, in these times, it’s not.

The real story is how much China has infiltrated all of our media (print and TV) and Hollywood, and if they changed the elections. The other story is how much they own the film industry (hollywood) and professional sports.

That explains why the restroom signs and the cafeteria menus are in Chinese. No one could figure that out.

And the chicken lunch choice with sides never really tasted like chicken.
