Two suggestions on how to defeat New York Times' limited reading:

1. Turn off Javascript when reading pages from nytimes.com. This is easy to do in 
Firefox with the uMatrix browser add-on. This will also make all browsing faster.

2. Delete nytimes.com cookies after you no longer have any nytimes.com windows/tabs 
open. This is easy to do in Firefox with the Cookie AutoDelete add-on.

These add-ons might work in other browsers as well, but I only recommend free 
software (software we're free to run, inspect, share, and modify). So I recommend 
Firefox.

Asad Abukhalili ("The Angry Arab") twitter.com posts on corporate media and corporate 
social media misrepresentation of the Iraqi protests against continued US occupation:
https://twitter.com/asadabukhalil/status/1221131053609312256 -- "This crowd in 
Baghdad for example has been more circulated on social media than scenes of the 
hundreds of thousands in the anti-US protests of yesterday."

https://twitter.com/asadabukhalil/status/1220918811517284352 -- "A million people 
took to the streets in Iraq again act US occupation but NYT managed to cite five 
people who are in favor of US occupation. Lousy journalism. ““I reject this kind of 
protest — it is an abuse of the American and foreign presence,””"

A followup from Hussain Bakar says the BBC is following suit in not covering the 
Baghdad protests properly either:

https://twitter.com/HussainBakar1/status/1220920564941873153 -- "To some extent, same 
thing with the BBC too. A correspondent spoke about people who still yearn for the 
US' presence."

Glen Ford on "Throw Off the Dead Weight of the Democratic Party" (from February 11, 2016)
https://blackagendareport.com/node/22770
> “Blacks haven’t transformed the Democratic Party by our overwhelming presence.
> Instead, the Party has transformed us – and overwhelmed our radical politics.” The
> best result that can occur from the Sanders campaign would be that it leads to a
> split in the Democratic Party, and an end to the Rich Man’s Duopoly.
