The New York Times Fails Again
Standing Rock: 'We are Sitting Bull's People'
Dakota Access Pipeline: A Snake in the Water


"We are Tatáŋka Íyotake’s Oyate — 'Sitting Bull’s People,' therefore our fight and resistance must continue for our future generations because we cannot drink oil." -- Standing Rock Nation

The New York Times is quick to publish a story on the latest ruling on the Dakota Access Pipeline, claiming it is a critical energy need -- but failed to report on the excessive force lawsuits filed against law enforcement by Marcus Mitchell and Sophia Wilansky. Both were critically injured at Standing Rock defending the water from the pipeline. Their cases were heard by the federal appeals court this week.

The New York Times is now known around the world for its failed reporting and bias which enabled the genocide in Palestine.
