They're a newspaper, not a political blog. This isn't an op-ed. They're not meant to be "taking a side."

For example, perhaps Ukraine says they've been invaded by Russian troops without insignias; and Russia says it isn't them.
Some would say the ideal in journalism would be not only to report the conflicting statements, but also to determine and report what the underlying truth is.
China has a legitimate claim to Hong Kong, Hong Kong (arguably) has a right to self-determination.
They're a newspaper. Present both sides, let me make a decision. Don't tell me what to think.
The New York Times is a newspaper built on free speech.
There really aren't to sides to be report about.
"China is bad. Hong Kong should be free."
Removing nuance is fun.
What wrong claim have they made? China has a legitimate claim to the territory, Hong Kong has a legitimate right to self-determination (in my opinion).
Claiming they're wrong or otherwise conveying false information because they haven't picked a side is just wholly wrong.
If you want propaganda that only reports on your side, there are subreddits for that. This is a newspaper.
Well that's an actual, great complaint!
What important details are they leaving out or, perhaps better, what's a more accurate reporting?
