CCP has a habit of randomly banning a small amount of people for doing previously allowed and popular activities . <| sep |> Just my opinion but I think mainstream press of NYT caliber is generally accurate regarding coverage . In most cases if there are faults in reporting , they will correct them . With outlets like NYT , the problem is more that they will have a proWestern bias or omit coverage that puts Western governments in a bad light . There was an Intercept article that just came out warning of the dangers of the press getting too cozy with the administration . I would just say a healthy spectrum of sources need to be used . The NYT reader I would imagine , isn ' t really at risk here . It ' s the average person who does not usually commit a whole lot of time to following events that is at risk , people who are going to see some headlines being shared on FB or see a few soundbites outside of context . That ' s when CNN and Fox News becomes a problem . Take the Clinton email investigation for example . Fox News was criticized in November for reporting that an indictment of Clinton was imminent which was not true . They were forced to apologize for reporting that , but the damage might ' ve already been done for someone who only turned on the TV long enough to hear about it without the later correction .
