New York Times: Europe Said It Was Pandemic-Ready. Pride Was Its Downfall

So the New York Times published a deep article about how Europe, as one single entity, has failed in its response to the pandemic.

I mean what the actual fuck. Is this what goes as journalism these days? Simply bunch together a whole range of countries regardless of how successful they were in responding to the pandemic, and make sweeping generalizations based on three?

Europe is apparently Britain, France and Italy. That's it. The rest is inconsequential -after all, they do not support our narrative, so we can safely ignore them. Even Germany only got a cursory mention, even though their response was not good, but it was not the unadulterated shitfest the UK managed to do.

The fact that many European countries (mostly the Eastern members of the EU -figure that) DID respond successfully, is completely forgotten.

Journalism these days are on the level of high school papers. And you wonder why people do not trust these papers any more, turn to 'alternative' sources. At least the Karens railing against wearking masks on Facebook are a bit more entertaining than this elitist crap. Not since 2002 do I trust anything the NYT writes, because they showed their colors publishing the obvious lies about Saddam's WMDs to trump up support for the war, but this article was just insultingly stupid.
