The New York Times deleted a video of violence in Amsterdam it published once it realized that the perpetrators were Israelis and not an anti-Semitic mob. The Times had falsely claimed that the video showed Israeli football fans being attacked while in the Netherlands to support their team. What the video actually showed was a group of Israelis chasing and attacking locals.
Instead of changing their story and highlighting the bad behavior of the Israelis, the Paper of Record decided to delete the video. Why was it newsworthy when Dutch fans attacked Israelis but not when Israelis attacked Dutch people? The short answer is that the story no longer fits the long-running narrative of a new wave of anti-Semitic violence surging across the West. Therefore, it was dropped entirely.
The newspaper of record defines reality in Merica. Don't be taken in.
Propaganda has a playbook and knowing how it is done lets you see it.
1. Blame all economic problems on the targeted government. Ignore the effect of US sanctions.
2. The targeted leader is always presented as a tyrannical autocrat who crushes dissent, contrary to any reality.
3. No not say 'coup' say 'uprising' , 'revolt', or 'transition'. Gaslight the reader.
4. Ridicule the idea of US involvements.
5. Describe new US backed rulers as democratic and ignore any violence they commit to establish rule.
6. Blame deposed leaders as being responsible for their own overthrow.
The above rules are implemented with telling sentence structure. As the video shows.
