時事

アメリカのメディアも日本と同じで、大方が左巻き（自分ではリベラルと言ってますが（笑））。その本流がニューヨーク・タイムスで、NYTと朝日新聞は長く業務提携をしています。

下記はそのニューヨーク・タイムスに関する記事で、ニューヨークタイムズが毛沢東を「歴史的に偉大な革命家」と称賛するツイートをしたところ「4500万人を虐殺した男だぞ！」等と非難が殺到して炎上し「歴史的背景に欠けていたためツイートを削除しました」と謝罪したという記事です。左巻きは「悪魔思想」で目的のためには手段は択ばず、口先だけで平和や平等と言いながら、マルクスにかぶれた殺人思想でしかないというのは冷戦時から同じで、今もその支流である中国が大好きという本音を垣間見せてしまったという、大笑いな失態でしょう。

New York Times updates story about Tea Party after pressure from critics on social media

Despite nothing being factually wrong with the story about the Tea Party, the Times once again caved to left-wing pressure and a Twitter mob, says Fox News media analyst Howard Kurtz, host of 'Media Buzz.'

The New York Times has apologized after referring to former Chinese leader Mao Zedong as “one of history’s great revolutionary figures.”

The Times’ shared its obituary to Mao -- who died on Sept. 9, 1976 -- to mark the anniversary of the People's Republic of China founder’s death.

“Mao Zedong died on this day in 1976. The Times said he ‘began as an obscure peasant’ and ‘died one of history’s great revolutionary figures,’ a tweet sent with the obituary read.

The 1976 obituary stated: “After establishing the Chinese People’s republic, Mao launched a series of sweeping, sometimes convulsive campaigns to transform a semi-feudal, largely illiterate and predominantly agricultural country encompassing almost four million square miles into a modern, industrialized socialist state.”

A short time later, the outlet posted another tweet apologizing for the remark, which read: “We’ve deleted a previous tweet about Mao Zedong that lacked critical historical context.”

Mao founded the People's Republic of China in 1949 and ran it virtually uncontested until his death on Sept. 9, 1976.
