Ukraine and International Law: The Double Standard at the New York Times Editorial Page

Ukraine and international law: New York Times double standard is typical of western media

by friendsofsyria- by Howard Friel

The New York Times never mentioned the words UN Charter or international law in any of its seventy editorials on Iraq, as it assisted the Bush-Blair drive to war.

I have mentioned previously that from September 2001 to March 2003, a period in which the Bush administration repeatedly threatened to invade Iraq, the New York Timesnever mentioned the words “UN Charter” or “international law” in any of its seventy editorials on Iraq. Keep in mind that Iraq is several thousand miles from the United States and had nothing to do with 9/11, that the Bush administration killed and maimed over a million Iraqis while it destroyed Iraq, and that President Obama took almost as long to “withdraw” from Iraq as it took for the US to fight World War II, all at a total cost of least $3 trillion. This was all greatly assisted by the editorialists, op-ed columnists, foreign-desk editors, and foreign correspondents of the New York Times. In short, the Times editorial page is reprising its role as war instigator, not by ignoring international law as it did when the Bush administration threatened to invade Iraq, but by hypocritically citing Russia as the world’s transgressor of international law.

>> Mr. Howard Friel has defined the journalist code of journalism ethnics to fabricate political documentation of national and international events (catastrophes) as a symbolism of justified American Campaigns to capture the respect and patronage of the International Civilian Societies! The American Civilian Societies do not recognize the journalism invented for their national awareness's are camouflaged documentations designed to instill favorable, satisfactory acceptance of ‘Their Approval Of Government Representation’! This topic captures the arenaof a multitude of government corruptions purposely ignored and defended by the American Supreme Court! The American Civilian Societies will continue their economic pilferage and their moral degradation with the ‘Political Support’They Flourish On Republican CandidatesAnd Democrat Candidates!
