The New York Times supports U.S. coups from Iran to Venezuela

The New York Times has exhibited patterns of supporting U.S.-backed coups around the world, starting with the overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran in 1953. The regimen change in Iran was facilitated by the CIA, resulting in the establishment of a dictatorial regime. Subsequent examples include the 1964 coup in Brazil, which saw President Joao Goulart deposed, garnering a sympathetic response from the newspaper, which framed the events as a peaceful revolution without acknowledging the coup. Most recently, in 2019, the Times characterized the ousting of Bolivian President Evo Morales as his resignation rather than a coup. This pattern suggests a deep-rooted collusion with U.S. foreign policy objectives, as leaked emails reveal that Times editors have coordinated with the CIA on editorial content, indicating a troubling synergy between media narratives and U.S. state interests. Such complicity raises questions about journalistic integrity and the role of the Times as a reliable news source, as it continues to shape public perceptions in favor of U.S. imperialism while glossing over the consequences of regime changes abroad.
