That quote above may sound good as a sound bite... But the NYT is an
integral part of the US propaganda system. Certainly not a "branch
plant."

(BTW -- Only a Canadian would use the phrase "branch plant" with such
descriptive ease. :)

I see no unified Yanqui propaganda system... yet.

In the meantime, the NYT should be encouraged (the NYT being a
collective institution of oppositional tendencies, and not merely the
board of directors, or their CEO/publisher/henchmen) to keep doing what
it is doing.
