Another piece of bizzarro New York Times Hong Kong coverage where the authors claim the awesome "Lady Liberty" statue is modeled on the American statue of liberty without mentioning the obvous and direct callback to Tiananmen Square.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/11/world/asia/hong-kong-protest-art.html …

Pinboard @PinboardThis is a really tendentious article by the New York Times that makes me question their other Hong Kong coverage. The story the past week isn't an increase in violence by protesters against people; it's a police rampage in which cops shot two schoolkids. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/07/world/asia/hong-kong-protesters-masks-violence.html …Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 9 likesShow this thread -

Pinboard @PinboardAnother example of an almost wilfully deceptive headline from the New York Times, which seems to be bending over backwards to not offend with its Hong Kong coverage. Apple isn't navigating a minefield, it censored a legal user safety app at China's request, and lied about why. pic.twitter.com/OgqrRVkqIwShow this thread1 reply 1 retweet 14 likesShow this thread -

There was this headline treatment that called the government's invocation of emergency law for the first time since 1967 a "measured approach" to the crisishttps://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1180846078284853248 …
Pinboard added,
Pinboard @PinboardThis headline and blurb from the New York Times really misses the mark. The face mask ban is not the story; the first invocation of emergency powers since 1967 is the story. It's no "measured approach", but a decision to rule by decree after endless cant about rule of law pic.twitter.com/ePBI2EfJw0Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -

Pinboard @PinboardA quarter million Hong Kongers marched past the U.S. consulate yesterday to ask Congress to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy act. This march received no coverage on the New York Times front page, and deeply misleading headlines in the L.A.

Antony DapiranVerified account @antdCarrie Lam oped in@nytimes coincides with congress committees approving HK Human Rights Act to go to vote. Lam talks about “deep wounds...opened in our society” & “necessary reconciliation process”; but also demonizes “radical actions of some rioters”. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/25/opinion/carrie-lam-hong-kong.html …1 reply 1 retweet 10 likesShow this thread -

And in their pièce de résistance, sent David Brooks to report that there are no day-to-day signs of protest in Hong Konghttps://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1170977368774594560 …
Pinboard added,
Pinboard @PinboardIt's going to be hard to take the crown away from the New York Times, who sent a marquee columnist here to report that there is no graffiti in Hong Kong and no sign of protests visible from one reporter's suite at the Mandarin Oriental. But the others are still in the race! pic.twitter.com/tiFdOuRxfQShow this thread1 reply 1 retweet 9 likesShow this thread -
Something is rotten at the New York Times Hong Kong desk and... I guess we just write strongly-worded tweets about it? The only grievance process left at the NYT since they canned their public editor is the one that drives further clicks to the worst articles.

For the second time, there has been an enormous march in Hong Kong asking the US to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and the New York Times just didn't cover it. Something is really weird over there.

The article they did run, on the economic impact of the protests, doesn't mention the government's extensive program of subway closings, which have turned into a de facto curfew. Retail stores close along with the subway system, deepening the crisis.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/13/world/asia/hong-kong-protest-economy.html …

Neither does this article mention that authorities have begun pre-emptively closing entire malls on weekends, or that police recently began forcibly entering malls, which has a massive chilling effect on retailers. What gives,
