The New York Times business section features a news article headlined "How Russian Media Uses Fox News to Make Its Case." It reports, "Russian media has increasingly seized on Fox News's prime-time segments, its opinion pieces and even the network's active online comments section — all of which often find fault with the Biden administration — to paint a critical portrait of the United States and depict America's foreign policy as a threat to Russia's interests."
The article features "four ways Russian media has used Fox News to bolster the government's narrative about the war," including "criticizing President Biden."
The Times article was ridiculous. What do they expect Fox News to do, not criticize President Biden for fear that they might be quoted in Russia? During the Cold War the Soviet Union frequently amplified New York Times coverage of homelessness or of racism to make America look bad. Even now the Russian-linked RT network cites the New York Times to make America look corrupt, amplifying, for example, a recent New York Times investigation reporting on Jared Kushner's Saudi dealings. RT also amplified a recent New York Times article about divisions within NATO.
One could just as easily write an article headlined "How Russian Media Uses the New York Times to Make Its Case," but that wouldn't fit the hard left New York Times conspiracy narrative that American conservatives are all a bunch of Russian agents. The paranoid conspiracy about Russian influence used to be a feature of the McCarthyist American right, but now it's strangely taken root on the American left.
