New York Times Anti-Israel Bias in Editorials As Bad As Ever

CAMERA has repeatedly demonstrated the deeply entrenched editorial bias against Israel at the New York Times.

Double Standards on International Terrorism at the New York Times and AP

There is a striking double standard in terminology being used by many news organizations, such as the New York Times and Associated Press, regarding the terror attacks in London and the terror attack in Netanya, Israel.

Daniel Okrent’s False Symmetry

Daniel Okrent is soon to conclude his tenure as the New York Times' Public Editor (ombudsman). In his post, he often listened seriously to reader comment and on occasion concurred with criticism of the paper.He also encouraged systematic corrections on the opinion pages. Given this independent-minded approach, Okrent's April 24 commentary on Middle East coverage disappointed on many counts, omitting or glossing over tough issues and resorting ultimately to platitudes about how difficult it is for the paper to "walk down the middle."

The Temple Mount’s Jewish History: More Than a Matter of Faith

The Temple Mount is the site of the first and second Jewish Temples, destroyed in 586 BCE and 70 CE, respectively–a historic fact accepted even by Muslim authorities. Nevertheless, that fact has not stopped some journalists from reporting on the Temple Mount's significance in Jewish history cautiously, as if its status is a matter of Jewish faith, or "belief," and not archeologic evidence.
