New York Times
Salama, Shalamah, Shamalah, Shamallakh… and Why David Carr is Wrong Regardless
The many criticisms of a recent New York Times article by David Carr might feel like a confusing blur of names. But regardless of whose name is spelled how, the reporter did a dramatic disservice to readers by ignoring facts and context in his indictment of Israel. The New York Times Still Spinning the News
The New York Times continues to spin the news about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through its framing and placement of stories. Take, for example, the Saturday, Nov. 17 edition. The New York Times Evades the Facts to Blame Israel
The mindset at The New York Times is to indict Israel and let no facts stand in the way. This is made clear—yet again— in the newspaper's editorial about Israel's latest military operation to stop rocket fire. The column uses any kind of evasion to arrive at its desired message: "Blame Israel." The New York Times’ Broken Moral Compass

The New York Times’ Embattled Integrity

The New York Times holds its own skewed view of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, according to which Israel is always to blame. It tries to impose this perspective on its readers by carefully choosing which facts to present and which to conceal. On Refugees and Racism, a Double Standard Against Israel
Recent press attention has focused on the repatriation of illegal African migrants from Israel. Very little of it has explained the context and difficult challenges facing Israel as a result of large-scale illegal immigration, particularly by non-Jews. None has included mention of Israel's history of welcoming refugees from around the globe. Discriminatory Lies and Discriminatory Laws in The New York Times
The claim that Israel has 35 laws that discriminate against Arab citizens is a transparently false canard meant to delegitimize the Jewish state. But that did not prevent the New York Times from publishing it, in violation of codes of ethics requiring accuracy even in the opinion pages.
