Remember the photos that had Stalin’s adversaries cropped out? What kind of country are we living in? Marxist dictators brook no competition.
You are so right. The nation is in extreme danger and people, through failure to inform themselves while information is till available, are blind to what is going on.
Stalin had them erased, not “cropped out” (ie altering the picture rather than showing only part of the picture).

I don’t think the NYTimes could get away with the former.
