looks like president blinken is finally getting recognized for his accomplishments and this by the 'paper of record';

However, Blinken’s reception in the US during the last few days as Secretary of State has been the polar opposite, with the New York Times describing him as the “Secretary of War” and protestors slamming him for having a “legacy” of genocide.

“Secretary Blinken! Your legacy will be genocide!

Security officers led the protestor out of the room, as well as a man who waved a sign that read “Blinken: War Criminal.”

The founder and editor of the Grayzone website, Max Blumenthal, also interrupted the press conference, telling Blinken:

“In Gaza, 300 journalists have been targeted by your bombs. We all know there was an agreement in May. Tony, you didn’t stop the flow of bombs. Why have you sacrificed a rules-based order for your commitment to Zionism?”

However, beyond activist-journalists, even the mainstream media in the US began slamming Blinken, but only days before stepping down as Secretary of State..........more.........
