Veteran Foreign Correspondent—NYT Retooled Russiagate Script for China
In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Joe Lauria, a veteran international affairs correspondent editor of Consortium News, to talk about a new article in the New York Times that suggests the mainstream media is re-purposing their well-worn Russiagate playbook to push a narrative of Chinese culpability for the failed US Coronavirus response, how Trump's public speculation about injecting Coronavirus patients with disinfectant demonstrates the US government needs little outside assistance in spreading dangerous COVID-19 disinformation, and how China's action early on conflict with the prominent, US-backed narrative that they covered up the spread of the virus initially.
