Ok, here's the issue with this article:

"party-run publications and Web sites have vehemently denounced constitutionalism and civil society"

Seriously? I rather doubt a one-party system is going to openly denounce civil society. The human desire for civility is the only thing that keeps despots from being murdered in the street.

This is also a problem with HN's voting system. The headline of this is totally missing the point. On HN, the headline should read

NYT puppet of NSA? "party publications ... vehemently denounced ... civil society
