The New York Times Conspires-- Yes Conspires-- with CIA In The Death of Patrice Lumumba: JUST one of a thousand vignettes in the Devil's Chessboard showing how the National Security State Became our de facto government.
-----
"Meanwhile, Dulles and his Congo team were acutely aware that the presidential transition under way in Washington also put their Lumumba operation in jeopardy. Kennedy, whose inauguration was scheduled for January 20, had already signaled that he would shift U.S. Policy in favor of African nationalists like Lumumba. [ seen new books Betting on The Africans, Cambridge University Press, 2014 and Kennedy, Johnson and the Nonaligned World, Oxford University Press, 2013 N.H.] ...Ted Kennedy later went further, calling for the release of of Lumumba and suggesting his brother agreed with this position.
The raging battle over Lumumba's future broke into the U.S. press, with the CIA's media assets predicting drastic consequences if the Congolese leader returned to power. As the Congo crisis reached its climax, a new correspondent for the New York Times showed up in Leopoldville with a distinctly anti-Lumumba bias. Paul Hofmann was a diminutive sophisticated Austrian with a colorful past. During the war, he served in Romeas a top aide to the notorious Nazi general Kurt Malzer, who was later convicted of the mass murder of Italian partisans. At some point, Hofmann became an informer fo the Allies, and after the war he become closely associated with Jim Angleton. The Angleton family helped place Hofmann in the Rome bureau of the The New York Times, where he continued to be of use to his friends in U.S. intelligence, translating reports from confidential sources inside the Vatican and passing them along to Angleton. Hofman became one of the Time's leading foreign correspondents, eventually taking over the newspaper's Rome bureau and parachuting from time to time into international hot spots like the Congo.
The New York Times coverage of the Congo crisis had always been slanted against Lumumba, with columns and commentaries labeling him "inexperienced" and a "virtual dictator." But Hoffman's Congo coverage was virulent in its bias that it seemed as if he were acting as a "psywar" conduit for U.S. Intelligence... The message behind Hofmann's relentless barrage was clear: despite the 'crocodile tears' cried by the Soviet Union over Lumumba's plight, no man as treacherous as this deserved mercy" -- David Talbot, The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, The CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government.

Non-Coincidence: Patrice Lumumba was killed by CIA on January 17, 1961 three days before JFK became president. Check the Katanga-Congo mines. That's where you will see the mettle of the Dallas-Coup.
"[Kwame] Nkrumah was overcome with emotion at the news of Kennedy's death. He told the Ghanaian people that Africa would always remember Kennedy's 'understanding of the grave issues confronting our world….'(49) He had no doubts about who was behind the assassination. When Ambassador Mahoney handed him a copy of the Warren Report a few months later, Nkrumah opened it and pointing to the name of Allen Dulles (a member of the Warren Commission), handed it back to Mahoney saying simply, 'whitewash.'" --JFK: ORDEAL IN AFRICA, OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, 1983
See in America you just can't join foreign and domestic coups. It's considered poor taste and in fact much work has gone into segmenting them, so they will never merge in what you call the News. That's true of whether or not the New York Times News Service is feeding you the Times or their Vegan Menu, Noam Chomsky.
