May 8, 2002 -- THE New York Times is apparently trying to retract a photo of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli demonstrators that ran on the cover of Monday's paper. The Times has already been reeling from three prominent New York rabbis who have been urging a boycott of the paper over a perceived anti-Israel bias in the news pages covering violence in the Middle East.

I'm beginning to wonder if the morons cheer in the newsroom when they learn of the latest suicide bombing. Them and their fool "underdogs."

Well, for thirty years they managed not to print any pictures of the massive pro-life demonstrations that take place every January in Washington, anywhere from 50,000 to 500,000 people. This year they managed to do a "balanced" report between 50,000 prolifers and 20 pro-aborts. But I guess this latest example of their typically dishonest slanting and suppression of the news struck a little closer to home with their readers.
Left-wing antisemitism could split the Democrats and bring the Old Gray Lady down into the mud at last. What a shame!

If they are already boycotting the paper, how did they see the photo? Or did they just "hear" about it?

Avi Weiss, of the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale and one of three rabbis who last week called for a boycott of the Gray Lady. "I am more livid than ever - and this time our community is not going to be silenced."Rabbi Weiss, please do not let this die. The Grey Whore needs to be taken down. For the good of Israel as well as this country....

How about links to the pics?

Shouldn't we update the NYT's nickname to something more appropriate such as Shady Lady?

Nice try. I now understand your screen name, newbie.

I haven't read the NY Times for 15 to 20 years because their reporting was so biased.

Every convenience store, supermarket and train station here has prominent racks of the NY Times. I've not bought a copy in years, but I always know what's on page one. Also, you can go to their web page for an image of the front page.
