This is serious whataboutism, and actually is related to what the article is saying.

Whataboutism is another concept , say, take an hypothetical example, that French police did same thing and French media also make disinformation. Here the OP just claim that NYT report only one side story while hide another story. If his claim is true or not everybody can check.

Most of the comments from the last four months are actually whataboutism in response to criticism of China.

Yep. And I love how I'm getting downvoted too!

I had nothing either way, then suddenly multiple downvotes right around 8 a.m. Beijing time. Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Edit: And very swiftly more downvotes and comment flags. Seems a little more stochato than a typical bad comment that gathers a few downvotes over time.
