Most mainstream news reporters are not really witting propagandists\u2013those are to be found more in plutocrat-funded think tanks and other narrative management firms, and in the opaque government agencies which feed news media outlets information designed to advance their interests. The predominant reason mainstream news reporters say things that aren\u2019t true is because in order to be hired by mainstream news outlets, you need to jack your mind into a power-serving worldview that is not based in truth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/index.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1329704468137512961&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcaitlinjohnstone.com%2F2020%2F11%2F21%2Fnew-york-times-job-listing-shows-how-western-propaganda-operates%2F&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1329704468137512961\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>A recent\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/archive.is\/IKayH\">job listing<\/a>\u00a0for a\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0Russia Correspondent which\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/27khv\/status\/1329704468137512961\">was flagged<\/a>\u00a0by Russia-based journalist Bryan MacDonald illustrates this dynamic perfectly. The listing reads as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Vladimir Putin\u2019s Russia remains one of the biggest stories in the world.<\/p>\n<p>It sends out hit squads armed with nerve agents against its enemies, most recently the opposition leader Aleksei Navalny. It has its cyber agents sow chaos and disharmony in the West to tarnish its democratic systems, while promoting its faux version of democracy.

At home, its hospitals are filling up fast with Covid patients as its president hides out in his villa.<\/p>\n<p>If that sounds like a place you want to cover, then we have good news: We will have an opening for a new correspondent as Andy Higgins takes over as our next Eastern Europe Bureau Chief early next year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Times Job Listing Shows How Western Propaganda Operates People who are only just beginning to research what\u2019s wrong with the world often hold an assumption that mainstream news reporters are just knowingly propagandizing people all the time.
