Washington Post and New York Times frontpages tend to be very long, so the "full screenshot" tends to not be the full screenshot. You`ll notice they are clipped at the end. In addition, if I notice that a pop-up has obstructed a view in the screenshot that I can`t get rid of, I`ll go to that spot and take a "Clip" of that spot. Hence the "clip" files. Sometimes I don`t notice in time, and the frontpage changes. Sorry. In addition, the formatting is as follows: News Outlet - Month {First three letters} - Year - 24h hour - minute. Time is EST
My purpose here is that I`ve noticed the Wayback Machine (WM) can be finecky when it comes to news sites. So here is an alternative. Because the screenshots are so big, they create gigantic files. I compress and shrink them down from PNG to JPG and reduce quality. So the screenshots aren`t high quality, but should be mostly readable, enough hopefully that if you`re interested in something, you can Google it, and otherwise get the gist. I also include Democracy Now headlines, to show key events from the prior 24h (usually published around 8:00AM), for comparison with the archived outlets. And for reference:
Note: Starting February 21, I add a list of notable headlines/categories (good to compare with the Democracy Now headlines from the day (or the day before, since Democracy Now posts early in the morning). Note my "notes" on the headlines are very rough, and it`s good (and preferred) if you look at the actual news screenshots/WB saves. It`s hard to walk the line between summary, and too much info, so bear with me!
Washington Post - WaPo - WM "access denied", so I snap 🍏
New York Times - NYT - WM formatting often poor, so I snap 🍏

Here is to provide a nice cross-section of events across the world that are memory-holed/uncovered/misrepresented. In particular, there are several wars which are criminally misrepresented or under-reported:
the Myanmar conflict
the Azerbaijan-Armenia Wars (and Turkey)
The Yemen War
The Ethiopian/TPLF/Eritrean War
the Post-Gaddafi North African Nightmare
Mozambique (Cabo Delgado) Insurgency (coming soon: strange links with Congo)
.
On top, are glimpses of issues of:
coups and disruption in Latin America
the Western-fostered catastrophe in Afghanistan since our defeat and withdrawl
Sober analysis of America`s politcal-economic landscape
All of these issues get submerged by negative coverage of our official enemies: Russia, North Korea, China, and Iran (or otherwise their stories get distorted). Of course, they do do bad things: China`s Xinjiang camps, or Russia`s invasion of Ukraine, or Iran`s reactionary anti-woman laws, or North Korea in general - and all of them justifying their position by abusing an anti-Western line (each of course, has legitimate grievances - but that doesn`t make the immoral moral). Yet I`m supposing you are already well aware of such issues, via the mass media.
My goal is not to sing their songs; rather, to question why only their sins are put in the headlines - the natural consequence is to hear "Modi" and just think "leader of India" (negative coverage has been spotty, albeit existant), to hear "Yemen" and think "just another regional war", or to not realize how widespread Western imperialist violence is, notably when chasing fossil fuels. News stories are used to stir nationalist, jingoist moods, but we should not allow these to entrench our own chauvinisms. There are some links regarding Ukraine as well; although I think there are serious issues of Western coverage here, fundamentally this is Russia`s invasion; to say otherwise is a distortion. To say Western support of Ukraine has not prevented a terrible outcome is incorrect. There are many topics not really covered here - that is because I think they are already news blasted as it is. There are other things mixed in. But thats the main cut.

Note that there is mass media negative coverage of Modi. It appears now and then on front pages. Often it doesn`t, or is fleeting; see this (2023 03 18 - present on frontpage) or this (2023 03 08 - absent); compare with the front pages above. The allegation is not malicious neglect, but just neglect - what about balloons tho? It`s my experience that bad press over the past year of Modi has been his tacit support of Putin, and that`s about it.

FT (2023 02 03): The Adani affair: the fallout for Modi’s India - Allegations of stock manipulation at one of the country’s largest conglomerates present a challenge to its institutions
Article excerpts: Apart from the future of the billionaire and his business empire, something bigger is on the line: India’s probity in corporate governance and pursuit of a development model in which the state has entrusted a few ultra-rich men with running India’s infrastructure and pioneering investments abroad. // The Adani Group acknowledged as much when it portrayed the short seller report as “not merely an unwarranted attack on any specific company but a calculated attack on India, the independence, integrity and quality of Indian institutions, and the growth story and ambition of India”. 🌗 Adani became one of Modi’s biggest champions in business, as he built a local industrial empire that helped the future prime minister sell Gujarat as an economic model for India. Their proximity was epitomised when Modi flew in an Adani jet after he was elected to national office in 2014. 🌗 This business strategy has proved lucrative, with Adani’s net worth rising from about $7bn in 2014 to more than $100bn before the Hindenburg report, making him one of the world’s richest people. 🌗 However, [local press] reports were carefully worded in a country where editors rely on big corporate advertisers, and the government brooks little criticism. 🌗 At India’s executive level, a sense of omerta prevailed. Some leading CEOs contacted by the FT to share their views about Adani’s crisis declined, even under condition of anonymity.
