The New York Times is facing criticism from Twitter users, including @SpaghettiKozak, @tayemnyykavun, @olex_scherba, and @fakemykola, for its employment of journalist @INechepurenko. Accusations are being made that Nechepurenko is spreading Russian propaganda and bias in his coverage of Russia's war on Ukraine. Critics argue that NYT editors are overlooking the bias, with one suggesting that Ukrainian sources are deemed too biased while Nechepurenko is seen as objective for his criticism of Putin. Another user compares Nechepurenko's employment to an endorsement of Russian state media, citing his promotion of similar propaganda sources. Concerns are also raised about Nechepurenko's behavior on Twitter, where he is accused of ridiculing the NYT and spreading Russian falsehoods. Furthermore, a user who enjoys reading the NYT questions the fairness of allowing a Russian to cover the war, especially one who is allegedly propagating anti-Ukraine rhetoric.
Hey, @nytimes ! Do you employ this man? Why? https://t.co/fdJDpUwcmg https://t.co/PhbzL6iPnl
Seriously, @nytimes, I like reading you. You do a lot of good work. But letting a russian cover Russia’s war of aggression on Ukraine doesn’t strike me as fair, correct or balanced. Especially a guy who personally paddles anti-Ukraine propaganda. #StandWithUkraine https://t.co/bB3RPmIW63
I would like to remind our very dear @nytimes that their author @INechepurenko is not only spreading blatant russian lies in their pages, but also fully taking the piss out of them on Twitter. Extremely concerning? https://t.co/mSZjjWxOyL https://t.co/NIsvTBaR5n
Autofellating editors at @nytimes would scoff at russian state outlets like RT or Sputnik, yet they employ a guy who is essentially the same thing. He even boosts many of the same propaganda sources. https://t.co/KDqh00PTJY
Believe it or not, editors at the @nytimes see nothing wrong with this. He probably criticizes Putin so they consider him objective and one of the good ones. Meanwhile, Ukrainian sources will be considered too biased. https://t.co/GbmvAM8v2o
