John notice the NYT goes on and on about these ads, then fails to offer a link to two of them.  They offer a link only to the third.  I see not one thing wrong with that one as a public service announcement.  It is encouraging the Irianians that the theocratic regime they have lived under for two generations is about to fall.  This is analogous to dropping leaflets over Nazi Germany in 1945.

But why did not the NTY  link to the ads themselves?  Why do we need the NYT to opine at length about the ads, then not offer an actual link to the ads?  Doesn’t that seem a bit odd to you?

 

I eventually found the other two ads on X, on a site run by republicans opposed to the current POTUS.  This is but more reason why we need X but we do not need the NYT.  We don’t want filtered news.  We want all of it.  Then we can filter it ourselves.
