Why Does The New York Times Love Hamas? (Do We Really Need to Ask?)

In the past week, the Fourth Estate’s Hamas cheerleaders have stripped away any pretense of being honest or neutral, with the New York Times continuing to take the side of the terrorist group in one of the most shameful journalistic episodes I have ever seen. In following the Times coverage for the past six months and checking external sources of information, one can see a clear pattern of propagandistic reporting favoring Hamas that selectively suppressed or willfully misrepresented information.

Even the Times knows it has a bias problem. Readers who detected it got a chilling confirmation of their suspicions in the December 13 column by Ombudsman Clark Hoyt. Addressing a public outcry over the paper’s failure to use the term “terrorist” for the attackers who executed some 170 people in Mumbai, India in late November (and mutilated the six Jews killed in the Chabad House—a fact never reported by the Times), Hoyt quoted several reporters and editors making extraordinary admissions that shed some light on the newspaper’s most recent dispatches from Gaza.

Addressing the general guidelines for using the T-word, “Ethan Bronner, the Jerusalem bureau chief, said, “Our general view is that the word terrorist is politically loaded and overused.”

The Times loves Hamas because they despise their country and their readers. They despise the morally good and the morally right. They despise western civilization. I suspect that secretly, behind the Frank Rich bravado, they despise themselves.

Their demise will not come a moment too soon.

“Their demise will not come a moment too soon. “

NYT one of the predicted business collapses of 2009. It’s easy to connect the dots to see why.

The MSM is operated by a gang of manipulative,Narcissistic anarchists.
Their most despised competitor for universal rule is a God they do not believe in.....figure that one out.

In the stories filed this past week, Gaza-based Times reporter Taghreed El-Khodary, has also fallen for another classic tactic of terrorist groups:, embedding their fighters and facilities in residential areas to incur more civilian casualties. El-Khodary’s dispatches have decried the “shocking” nature of the Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, sidestepping the fact that Hamas purposely locates its infrastructure among civilians...

This blogger, Steve is very generous. Taghreed did not fall for this, he knows it very well. He endorses the tactic and thus is culpable as a terrorist. The New York Times should be deeply ashamed of palling around with terrorists. But I forget that the newspaper of record won a Pulitzer for their deep investigative reporting around the USSR.
