The ever-growing proof of an anti-Israel prejudice at The New York Times (NYT) is so extensive and persistent that the paper’s partiality is now undeniable (see this endless archive of bias reports). […]

On September 10th, the NYT singled out Jewish lawmakers on the Iran deal.

On September 15th, the NYT suggested that the Israeli who was murdered by rock-throwing Palestinians had died of a “self-inflicted accident” after the attackers had merely “pelted the road” (rather than his car). The National Review provided a detailed critique of this farcical “reporting.” […]

On September 29, (Diaa) Hadid used an anonymous European advocate of Palestinian rights as a witness to contradict Israeli army claims that a Palestinian woman shot at an IDF checkpoint was armed with a knife, but then omitted confirmatory reports from another witness mentioned in the article, a Palestinian named Fawaz Abu Aisheh, who said the woman had dropped her knife after being shot (even though Amnesty International mentioned Aisheh's corroborating testimony about the knife).

On September 30, the NYT struck again with false historical information and tendentious coverage of Abbas’ UN speech. The article, by Rick Gladstone and Jodi Rudoren, notes that “Mr. Abbas accused Israel of having systematically violated these pacts” without mentioning the many violations of the Oslo Peace Accords by Palestinians. In an article exceeding 1,000 words, the reporters make not a single reference to Palestinian Arab terrorism, a basic historical fact that is essential to any fair and balanced understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. …

I assume it reflects the political/ societal/ moral preferences of most of its readers.

As Mr. Limbaugh so astutely pointed out several weeks ago, it’s because the leftard elitists running all of the popular social media companies have selected the Times as their news source to force-feed into the brains of phone-addicted Millenial skulls-o-mush.

Does anyone under 30 actually BUY a newspaper? Think about it.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I can use a good laugh from time to time and I enjoy fairy tales now and again.

The Slimes still defends the pulitzer prize awarded for Walter Duranty’s lies about how wonderful things were in the Ukraine while Stalin rules.

Nothing they do could make me think less of them.

True, love it or hate it each side has their “preferred” media organ(s) which when used establish a provenance as in “If the Times says it I believe it”

Stupid, but it happens

Stupid is as Stupid does...

The preponderance of said fairies is a bit too much for me, have to say.

NYT has a lot of foreign details for close readers that nobody else has.

Occasionally, they tell the truth without meaning to.

The nyt has a long history of anti- semitism going back at least to ww 2. It’s disgusting. They have some good crossword puzzles and some pretty good culture coverage especially if you’re in NYC. that’s about it.

I'm significantly over 30 and cannot remember the last time I bought a paper.

Don’t forget the NYT has about double the number of on-line subscribers as print ones, albeit at a much lower revenue level.
