The New York Times may have slightly changed its tune on reporting how Communist China is indeed covering up and taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic, but the paper is still reliably shilling for the World Health Organization’s China-corrupted response to the coronavirus crisis, as demonstrated previously and in several recent pieces.
