N YT Despicably Blames Russia for Monday’s Syria Humanitarian Convoy Attack Carried Out by US-Supported Terrorists It’s a good time to repeat what I’ve said before. All the news The Times claims fit to print isn’t fit to read. Rubbish substitutes – misinformation and Big Lies on geopolitical issues, especially when America wages naked aggression against invented enemies.
The Times’ inflammatory illustration accompanying the smear job on Russia. The image may be genuine, but the authors of the deed are not.
The Times report on Monday’s Syria humanitarian convoy attack reads like Pentagon/administration-scripted deception, citing unnamed US officials, turning truth on its head saying “Russia was probably responsible for the” attack.
The self-styled newspaper of record ignored clear evidence, showing no bombing occurred as falsely reported, no craters that would have resulted from air-to-surface munitions.
Trucks carrying humanitarian aid were struck by ground fire, US-supported terrorists responsible for what happened.
SIDEBAR
CBS, echoing the Times, reinforces the same lie, except that its audience is many times bigger than the Times. That’s how American-style disinformation works. Repetition and uniformity in reporting deceptions, usually carry the day.
Russia blamed for strike that took out aid convoy in Syria
CBS Evening News
“Such attempts, which are unconfirmed by any facts, are designed, among other things, to distract attention from” US warplanes deliberately and maliciously terror-bombing Syrian forces days earlier, massacring or injuring around 160 soldiers.
Sergey Lavrov explained Syrian warplanes weren’t responsible. They only fly during daylight hours. The attack occurred “during the hours of darkness…at the moment when the humanitarian cargo was being unloaded in eastern Aleppo.”
Facts never get in the way of deplorable Times reporting, saying “the Pentagon has determined with ‘very high probability’ that a Russian Su-24 attack plane was directly over the convoy less than a minute before the airstrike was reported.”
“American officials said their intelligence information suggested Russian aircraft had actually carried out the attack” – a bald-faced lie The Times failed to debunk.
Instead it compounded things by claiming last Saturday’s US terror-bombing killing or wounding around 160 Syrian soldiers was “an errant American airstrike…”
A previous article asked why anyone still reads the NYT, a mouthpiece for imperial power when America goes to war – turning journalism into presstitution.
