It is time for readers to ask why The New York Times amplified unsubstantiated claims of widespread sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners by Israelis and dogs, but downplayed verifiable claims of sexual assault by women against a Nazi-tattooed Senate candidate.
In reporting on the most recent allegations against Graham Platner, NPR omitted information from the very source it cited, which demonstrated Platner had lied about knowing he bore a Nazi tattoo.
Anti-Israel U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner covered up his Nazi tattoo. When NBC profiled Platner's position on the current military conflict in Iran, it covered up Platner's other views of actors in the region. Readers were given no information with regard to Platner's anti-Israel vitriol, appreciation for Hamas' terror tactics, or fondness for antisemitic, Israel-obsessed influencers.
