Of course, yes, the same paper that published the Pentagon Papers (link) is a government propaganda vehicle.
You tool.

This from a guy who thinks FIX NEWS is "fair and balanced."
Keep up your alliance with the Red Chinese, Tino. Very appropriate.

Wait a minute...is this a joke? A government propaganda newspaper accusing another newspaper of being government propaganda?

I think tino is just pointing out that they actually made a correct statement for once that wasn't bullshit.
I may put some ugly words down, but never are they directed towards others. It's really sad seeing people call eachother tool, imbecile, cunt, dumbass, fag, nazi, ect.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.

LOL, oh come'on bud, you might sling a little mud here and there. Tino thinks that the NYT is a tool, Moros thinks that Tino is a tool. I think that the NYT and Tino will both be just fine, regardless of who thinks they are tools.

Desperation for confirmation of belief makes strange bedfellows.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Actually, NYT in its foreign reporting has been a bit of a tool for the left, the more orthrodox marxist, wing of CCP since the 1940s. Early CCP assiduously cultivated channels to some NYT foreign correspondents, giving NYT more access into the hermit kingdom behind the bamboo curtain than is afforded other mainstream western press. In return NYT often reported on communist china in a less ideologically harsh light than was common during the jingoistic McCarthy days.
The current conflict came about in part because currently the Chinese communist party is dominated by what might be termed rightwingers, the fraction in favor of social and economic liberalization, and despises the orthrodox Marxist and Maoist approaches. There is currently a brutal behind the scene struggle in which the right wing fraction of the communist party effectively executed a take down of the champion of the left wing, a man named Bo Xilai. In retaliation, the left wing leaked information to NYT implicating the right wing premier Wen Jiabo. The NYT ran a prominent piece on how corrupt the pro-market premier is alleged to be.
So the communist mouth piece, dominated by the rightwingers economic reformers, struck back against NYTs.
