I guess I don't understand. Are you saying The New York Times would refuse to publish news or editorials criticizing an element of American culture or governance? Perhaps I am confused, but it seems like that's almost all they ever report.

Only within the narrow confines of what the "national interests" (and the interests of the elites who own them), allow.

In other words, only when there are competing fractions with different viewpoints within those.

Which is hardly all the cases when something should be criticised.
