This coming from the propaganda outlets that call AR-15s “assault weapons” and “weapons of war”.
I wouldn’t believe them if it was 6:00 AM, and they said the sun was coming up.
The New York Times is the same newspaper that received a Pulitzer Prize in the 1930s for the lies of one Walter Duranty and have never rejected it. Duranty, a KGB stooge whom they plied with vodka and prostitutes, wrote glowingly of the success of state communism and denied there was any Stalin induced famine in Ukraine. Stalin killed eight million Ukrainians through starvation; this would be like people in Iowa not having anything to eat bc all foodstuffs were exported to get foreign exchange. So the NY Times has a long history of lying and it continues.
