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.

Western media rushed to run with unsubstantiated claims of Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians – relying on ‘Gaza authorities’ and ignoring countervailing evidence.
Denial denial: The New York Times denies that Israel's unambiguous denial of accusations that its military gunned down civilians was just that. In a word salad jumble, The Gray Lady recasts Israel's denial into plausible confirmation.

A recent study highlighted how Hamas has been manipulating casualty stats as part of the terror group's effort to win the information battlefield. But as CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, too many press outlets have been willfully, and woefully, duped into broadcasting Hamas propaganda. And they should've known better.
