The New York Times has been leading the media charge against the supposedly “racist” term that Donald Trump has been using to refer to COVID19: “Chinese coronavirus.”
We get that covering — and kissing — the Chinese government’s butt is a full-time job, but is someone over at the Times falling asleep at the wheel?
We ask because they somehow haven’t memory-holed this little gem:
The coronavirus has now been detected in at least 13 other countries outside China, almost all involving people who traveled from there.

It’s almost as if something changed. Something that scared the New York Times into parroting the Chinese government’s narratives.
These people aren't stupid. So ask why they're doing it. https://t.co/gGmYDCyfhh

It’s a real head-scratcher, that one.
China owns them.
