The very first starving Palestinian baby picture I saw showed a mother and a small brother of normal weight.
Maybe someone at the NYT says, ok, I have to run a starving baby picture to please the bosses and activists, but I’ll run one that makes the reader question the narrative.
Or maybe the NYT editors just don’t question the narrative themselves.
Well, to be fair, with the US being a nation of obesity, I guess anyone of normal weight could be considered malnourished and starving.
