So just consider the record here. The New York Times will frequently label what other governments do as “torture” but steadfastly refuses to use that term for what the American government did. It promiscuously accuses foreign countries of “human rights atrocities” but self-righteously objects when that term is applied to our own government even after it abducts, disappears, lawlessly imprisons, and tortures people even to the point of death. It accords extreme deference and respect to the claims of government officials even when those claims are patently false. In other words, The New York Times’ journalistic practices create — either by design or effect — the false impression that torture and human rights abuses are things that other governments do, but not our own. Who is it exactly, then, who is departing from “journalistic objectivity”? Glenn Greenwald ☀
