The New York Times, one of the most influential newspapers in the world, not only influences its readers but also has significant impact on the news judgment and editorial perspective of other media. The caliber of accuracy, balance and thoroughness in this publication are therefore of particular importance.
The New York Times continues to eschew objectivity and employ a double standard in its coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Our six-month study of the newspaper's coverage details how the newspaper treats Israel with a harsher standard, omits context, and shows a clear preference for the Palestinian narrative.
NYT columnist Michelle Goldberg referred to Hasan Piker's "jejune sympathies for all sorts of brutal anti-American regimes." If Piker's politics are "jejune," why is NYT promoting him so vigorously? Is it really Piker's politics that are jejune, or maybe it's Goldberg's journalism?
Same day reporting by CNN, Reuters, The Washington Post, and The New York Times framed the incident near Tell as a case of settler violence, while omitting key details. Because these mainstream media failed to do their jobs, it befell to CAMERA to investigate who the individuals involved in the incident were.
CAMERA noted that The New York Times met its standards with regard to source attribution for claimed Israeli casualties, but not for Lebanese casualties. The New York Times amended its coverage as a result.
The New York Times keeps trying to figure out why the U.S. went to war with Iran. Having proposed multiple answers, it now offers another one -- producing confusion instead of clarity.
Despite its own reporting on Hamas embedding weapons and fighters in Gaza's civilian population, The New York Times still qualifies this is an Israeli accusation, rather than fact.
The New York Times does not like to use the word terrorist when it comes to Palestinian terror and it does not want the IDF to either. Perhaps the allergy to the word is why the paper of record still has not acknowledged the numerous announcements by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad outing many "journalists" as terrorists.
