'''''The New York Times''''' is a [[United States of America|Statesian]] [[Bourgeoisie|bourgeois]] newspaper. It has historically supported [[United States imperialism|U.S. imperialism]] and [[Far-right politics|far-right]] governments. Before publishing its articles, ''The New York Times'' sends them to the [[Government of the United States of America|U.S. government]] for approval.<ref>{{News citation|author=[[Ben Norton]]|newspaper=[[The Grayzone]]|title=NY Times Admits It Sends Stories to US Government for Approval Before Publication|date=2019-06-24|url=https://www.globalresearch.ca/ny-times-admits-it-sends-stories-us-government-approval-before-publication/5681831|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210808191326/https://www.globalresearch.ca/ny-times-admits-it-sends-stories-us-government-approval-before-publication/5681831|archive-date=2021-08-08|retrieved=2022-06-23}}</ref>

It is a major mouthpiece for [[United States of America|United States]] [[fascism]] and [[liberalism]]. A recent article published on 2024-02-02 by Thomas Friedman (a three-times Pulitzer winner) horrifically dehumanized the Palestinian people, in the mist of the [[Palestine|Palestinian genocide]] and the other peoples of the middle east by comparing them to bugs. Per [[Ben Norton]], "the NY Times is comparing victims of US-Israeli genocide and colonialism to insects. This is the contemporary equivalent of Nazi rhetoric that dehumanized their victims as cockroaches. Except now fascist ideology is so mainstream in the US, NYT columnist Thomas Friedman uses it."<ref>{{Web citation|author=Ben Norton|newspaper=Twitter|title=The NY Times is comparing victims of US-Israeli genocide and colonialism to insects.|date=2024-02-04|url=https://twitter.com/BenjaminNorton/status/1753941615440429433}}</ref>
