The New York Times lied about the 2013 Sarin attack

The New York Times just assigned this author to cover Syria, Michael B. Gordon

"He co-authored the Times’ infamous aluminum tube story"

"Gordon’s name also showed up in a supporting role on the Times’ botched “vector analysis,” which supposedly proved that the Syrian military was responsible for the Aug. 21, 2013 sarin-gas attack."

I cannot imagine what anyone thought we were doing in Syria in the first place, or why anyone would trust the media now that has been caught lying, and continues to lie to sell wars.
