Joe Emersberger: What would it take for the NYT editors to become deeply embarrassed by their own governments' human rights record? The number of countries the Obama administration has bombed in gross violation of international law now approaches double digits. This is clearly not an embarrassment to the NYTimes. They do not call for a "global response" to terminate the never ending rush to war of the USA and its allies, who've rarely taken a break from bombing Iraq over the last twenty four years (and probably caused 1-2 million Iraqi deaths since 1990). Rational people will call the big Imperial States, not the "Islamic State", a threat that requires a "global response". Point to an editorial board of a corporate newspaper willing to say that and you'll be pointing to an ex-editorial board. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
