Partisan Editing at Herald Tribune

While ongoing vilification of Israel in European media is part of the problem, veteran journalist Evelyn Gordon has discovered yet another disturbing development: The deliberate tilting of previously balanced articles by one prominent European newspaper ¯ the International Herald Tribune. In an article in today's Jerusalem Post, reprinted below, Gordon finds that the Herald Tribune has altered at least two New York Times articles on the Israeli-Arab conflict in an effort to make Israel look worse to the Herald Tribune's mostly European readers. (We've added links to the original NY Times and Herald Tribune articles, so subscribers can verify Gordon's statements.)

As edited by...'The Herald Tribune'-editors often "improve" Times copy-make readers dislike Israel

The best part is that the IHT is an enterprise between The New York Times and, I believe, the Washington Post. I guess that, in Europe, they can afford to be blatant.
