The NYTimes ruins good reporting by not using words correctly. They call torture ‘enhanced interrogation’. They call vagina mutilations ‘unwanted gynecological procedures’. Now corruption has become ‘favor-seeking’. No you biased bombasts. It’s just corruption.

The NYTimes publishes the truth but labels it with lies. They find the story, and waterboard it with words. They launder tyranny through a thesaurus.

Let me teach you English.

A favor is lending a cup of sugar. We all give and seek favors. A President taking money for benefit is corruption. That’s the word you’re looking for, you don’t need to make up entirely new phrases. It’s just corruption. The NYTimes, of course, knows this word. They’re just racist.

The NYTimes calls Africans or Asians or Slavs corrupt all the time. They put it right in the headline. Spot the difference here:

One headline is English, the other is a tongue-twister.
