Summary: In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ari Paul, Contributing Writer to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting to discuss the New York Times’ use of far-right and racialized rhetoric in its coverage of China’s policies to combat COVID-19, its disgusting comparison of the bureaucracy of the Chinese response to COVID-19 to the bureaucracy involved in the Holocaust, why the mainstream media’s biased coverage of China’s response is related to the abject deference of the US COVID response to capital, and the double standards employed by the mainstream media to magnify issues with China’s lockdown as it fails to cover the failures of the US response.
