Russia’s Special Presidential Envoy commented on Donald Trump's opinion that the NYT newspaper poses a serious threat to national security and that its dissemination of false information should be stopped
MOSCOW, December 23. /TASS/. The globalist fake media machine, and not just The New York Times (NYT), has attacked US President Donald Trump, his peace efforts, and Russia, Kirill Dmitriev, Russia’s Special Presidential Envoy and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund has said.
"It's not just the NYT. It's a globalist, well-funded, organized, and synchronized US/UK/EU deep-state-aligned fake media machine - targeting traditional values, common sense, economic prosperity - and therefore President Trump, his team, his peace efforts, and Russia," he wrote on his X social media page, commenting on Trump's opinion that the NYT newspaper poses a serious threat to national security and that its dissemination of false information should be stopped.
Trump emphasized that the NYT is "a true enemy of the people."
The US leader previously filed a $15-billion lawsuit against the NYT. He accused the publication of openly supporting his 2024 presidential rival, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, and of slandering himself, as well as members of his family and entourage.
If the Russians think they can take the rest of Donbas, they’ll not settle for less.
As of today, is not clear if they can or not.
Don’t expect peace in Ukraine soon.
It would have been far easier to get a deal done six months ago.
Some people here on FR and in metro DC thought Russia could be forced to give up by attacking oil refineries. However, it should have been considered that in the final days of the CCCP only comparatively few Russians got around by car.
Because of the source, few will give it credence.
“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.”

Jefferson just loved a free press, until that press started criticizing him and his policies. The Alien and Sedition Acts were only one example of his overreach and legal slapdown.

Nor should it be.
It’s amusing how so many here just suck up anything published by TASS or RT, but immediately brand anything in the NYT, CNN, or broadcast news networks as “fake news.”

As is the Deep State and its US Lame Street Media and its political puppets the Democrats.
It was John Adams' administration (not Jefferson's) that was responsible for the Alien and Sedition Acts...
