The New York Times is a tool. The legacy of it’s iconic name is being used, just as CNN was bastardized for agenda driven propaganda.

On it’s face, it would immensely arrogant for the NYT to think that they could just rewrite history. They may have one of the greatest names in legacy print, but even they can’t just write up changes to history and expect everything else to disappear down the memory hole.

...yet, they are a cog in a wheel. When the propaganda gets pushed institutionally, in schools and universities, the Time’s name is used to lend a false credibility to it all.

Well, the Times (with ones like Uncle Walter) were lying as history did take place, so why would it be different for them in this instance?

They’ve destroyed themselves for their ideology, many people just ignore the New York Times “news” articles anymore.

Go back and read the pre war original sources and it occurs to me it isn’t really that clear just what many “northerners” were trying to “keep out of the new territories”. Blacks or slavery. Bestowing every “northerner” with “superior moral virtue” is probably a guaranteed mistake.

YEP & further, ANYBODY in 2020, who believes the “mainstream press” on any subject that is more controversial than the latest sports scores, can be accurately described in ONE word: CLUELESS.

The “mainstream press” has destroyed their own credibility & the majority of US adults no longer believe them.

The “1619 Project” should illustrate a reality and a value. That such deliberate fraudulent historical revisionism, and the inevitable attempts by its authors to silence critics of that revisionism, constitute an “opus of lies”. And that such an opus is inherently and perniciously evil.

Lies pushed forth which are designed to destroy the truth, and thereby eliminate what is good in this county, cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. These lies must be conclusively dis-proven and relegated to the cesspit of infamy where they belong. The “1619 Project” ranks in the depths with Holocaust denial in this regard. Something the New York Times knows something about, and was a participant in.

Our press needs to be on trial...

Our press colludes with the DNC.
Our press does quid pro quo with the DNC.
Our press lies and obfuscates in favor of the DNC.
Our press obstructs in favor of the DNC.
Our press fails to afford our POTUS the presumption of innocence.
Our press abuses its 1A right.

Our press carefully uses “alleged” in describing a black thug’s murder charges, but not with our POTUS impeachment charges.

After we retake the House, I really hope to see The House Un-American Activities Committee resurrected.

The really important 400-year anniversary was ignored last year: the creation of the first representative body in Virginia. Without the colonial experience of self-government, the American Revolution and the later history of the United States could not have happened. It was that experience that made our history so different from the histories of the Latin American countries which were ruled by absolutist monarchs in Spain during the colonial era. (Of course there were other differences too.)

Ignoring the anniversary of the creation of the House of Burgesses in favor of the anniversary of the arrival of the first Africans in Jamestown is like the focus on investigations of Donald Trump to divert attention from all the scandals of the Obama administration.

Excellent map. Similar to the one at Ellis Island.

Begs the question - where did slaves eventually gain the best opportunity for upward mobility ?

If black (they weren’t all black) slaves knew back then what free black U.S. citizens know now, they would kill to get here.
