Is anyone seriously arguing the Times shouldn't have published the Putin Op-ed? http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/12/the-story-behind-the-putin-op-ed-article-in-the-times/?smid=tw-share&_r=0 …
@chessninja Alternately, NYT allowed Putin to look like a buffoon on its pages. @chrislhayes

@emptywheel@chrislhayes That may be some readers' interpretation too, fine. I doubt that's the point of the page either, however. -
@chessninja The NYT has a history of posting unquestioned USG claims as news. Is that better?@chrislhayes -
@emptywheel@chrislhayes No idea. Case here is giving a dictator with agenda use of the NYT to push his plans. Again, is there no line? -
@chessninja If Govt case can't stand up to trolling from Putin (& it can't), then trolling might make it develop one that can@chrislhayes -
@emptywheel I've no problem with the trolling, it's Putin's entire foreign policy. But annoying to see NYT cred helping hide that fact. -
@chessninja Putin's foreign policy is no more and no less dominated by interests than ours. And he's somewhat more explicit about his. -

@emptywheel This is a misconception. National foreign policy in the service of the personal interests of a small oligarchy is not the same. -
@chessninja And, aside from making our consumer lifestyle possible, US foreign policy doesn't serve oligarchy too? - 9 more replies
