New York Times Acknowledges Deep State, Says It’s ‘Kind Of Awesome’
For a long time many on the Left, including the New York Times, talking about the âDeep Stateâ was mere rightwing conspiracy theory nonsense. The idea that there was an entrenched class of unelected bureaucrats manipulating society behind the scenes was just crazy talk, they insisted.
Now, apparently, the Deep State is awesome.
So declared a recent Times opinion video that tried to humanize the Deep State by profiling some who work within it.

New York Times Starts By Trying to Make Trump Seem Paranoid About The Deep State
The piece is part article and video. The creators focused on former President Trumpâs criticism of the âDeep State,â which is typically used to describe unelected bureaucrats in a negative fashion, a group he and his supporters believe works to harm his agenda.
The authors traveled to meet various federal government workers around the country to show how normal they are, implying that Trump is paranoid and crazy.
The article reveals, âAs we met the Americans who are being dismissed as public enemies, we discovered that they are ⊠us. They like Taylor Swift. They dance bachata.â
It continues explaining, âThey go to bed at night watching âStar Trekâ reruns. They go to work and do their jobs: saving us from Armageddon.â
Fox News reported, âThe corresponding video depicted brief interviews with individuals working at the Environmental Protection Agency, the Marshall Space Flight Center and other U.S. government agencies.â
âThe piece continued, telling readers that they should support this âdeep state,â the Fox notes.
The story continued:
âWhen we hear âdeep state,â instead of recoiling, we should rally. We should think about the workers otherwise known as our public servants, the everyday superheroes who wake up ready to dedicate their careers and their lives to serving us.âÂ
âThese are the Americans we employ. Even though their work is often invisible, it makes our lives better,â the article declared, before warning that Trump plans on getting rid of many of these individuals if he returns to the White House.
âBut if Donald Trump is re-elected and enacts Schedule F, that could change,â it stated, referring to the classification status that would make government workers easier to terminate as political appointees. âHe would have the power to eviscerate the so-called deep state and replace our public servants with people who work for him, not us.â
The article concluded, saying, âIn the video above, youâll meet a few of our hard-working American public servants, and we hope youâll agree that theyâre not scary at all. In fact, theyâre kind of awesome.â

âPerfect New York Times Headlineâ
Journalist and civil libertarian Glenn Greenwald had seen enough.
âPerfect New York Times headline,â he wrote. âPerfect expression of predominant US liberal ideology.â
He added, âPerfect illustration of the subservient relationship between corporate media and the US Government. Yes, itâs designed to be âplayfulâ: to humanize the most powerful agencies. 10/10.â
Elon Musk called the Times âthe mouthpiece of the state.â
Conservative personalities piled on.
