We now know what is apparently the price the New York Times is willing to pay in order to keep its correspondents in Communist China: the loss of any sense of journalistic integrity. The latest example of this comes in the form of a glowing paean to the Covid efforts of the Chinese Communist Party. A story on Friday that would make their old correspondent, Walter Duranty, proud that bends the knee to the CCP with the open worship title of "Power, Patriotism and 1.4 Billion People: How China Beat the Virus and Roared Back."

Although there are a few tidbits of mild criticism in a pathetic attempt to appear credible, the open slobbering over the CCP by the Times correspondents Steven Lee Myers, Keith Bradsher, Sui-Lee Wee and Chris Buckley is so saccharine as to cause tooth decay. Here are a few examples of the absurdly sweet sonnets these correspondents were willing to compose for the CCP in order to keep reporting from China:

If want to get a better idea of what is really going on in China then read the Epoch Times or watch the "China Uncensored" or "SerpentZA" channels.

Somebody had to follow in the shoes of Walter Duranty. Another Pulitzer, maybe?
