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.
U.S. media outlets repeatedly push claims that Israel has provided “no evidence” of UNRWA-Hamas ties. These claims are easily disproven by publicly available information. Ultimately, these reports serve to shield UNRWA from scrutiny.
NYT Magazine subtly presented the genocide libel to its readers through a series of omissions, including the failure to divulge to readers that its "genocide expert" was an antizionist professor who justified the Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023.
On Christmas day nearly every major news site reported the same story: Christmas in Bethlehem returns after two years of war. While naming Israel as the boogeyman, these reports brushed Islamist extremist violence against Christians under the rug despite reports of at least two attacks in the days before Christmas.
Against the backdrop of deadly antisemitic attacks worldwide, Jews continue to be disproportionate targets of hate crimes in New York City. But instead of strengthening protections and increasing understanding of this deadly hatred, Mayor Mamdani and The New York Times did the opposite.
Six years after The Times’ notorious publication of a vile antisemitic cartoon depicting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as a guide dog wearing a Jewish star collar leading a blind, kippah-clad President Trump, antisemitic tropes take firm root in countless media outlets globally.
CAMERA calls on international news outlets to clearly and forthrightly report on the meaning of the “Globalize the Intifada” chant, which incites attacks against Jews across the globe.
One throw-away, baseless comment by an Emirati political science professor was enough for The Times to publish a page-one headline and 3500-plus story absurdly arguing that Israel's determination to preemptively defend itself against Iranian-backed enemies bent on its destruction is imperialistic.
The New York Times adopts CAIR's narrative that its critics are nothing more than anti-Muslim bigots, completely ignoring the organization's troubling record tying it to terror.
A fleeting moment of rare clarity appeared in an Associated Press headline: "Netanyahu applauds UN adoption of Trump’s Gaza plan and Hamas rejects it." Undeterred, the New York Times still finds Israel to be the rejectionist party in the way of a diplomatic solution.
With such grand sanctimony comes grand hypocrisy in the pages of The New York Times. Masha Gessen and a band of supposed “good citizens” of a “bad country” promote the idea that “all [Israelis] are responsible” for the imagined evilness of their nation.
