Wait. Did a New York Times columnist just imply he was part of the “dissent?” Dis-sent? Remember that the NYT sold the Iraq war in 2003? And remember NYT’s own mea culpa about its coverage leading to the 2016 US elections? (If you don’t, read here: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/us/elections/to-our-readers-from-the-publisher-and-executive-editor.html). All I see, is another “Fake News” group at the service of real fake news.
I’d come to view her as an emissary from a dystopian political-media environment that seemed to be heading our way, with governmental threats against dissent, disinformation from the presidential level and increasingly assertive propagandists who stoke the perception that there can be no honest arbiter of truth.

The irony of the article is that Putin accused Pussy Riot of being tools of Hillary Clinton, and yet the New York Times is now accusing Trump of being a tool of Putin.
