From the beginning, there were serious problems with the claims of mass rape by Hamas. Yet the New York Times devoted significant coverage to promoting that narrative.
This is appalling, but seems in line with their recent coverage. Has the NYT always been promoting far right viewpoints like this or is this a recent change in their editorial direction? They’ve also been burying and straight up ignoring Donald Trump stories this close to the election.
They no longer deserve their reputation as a top news source in any case.
My personal favorite from the NYT hall of shit is from back in 1922 when they published an article about Hitler, which uh:
But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler’s anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic, and in line for the time when his organization is perfected and sufficiently powerful to be employed effectively for political purposes.
A sophisticated politician credited Hitler with peculiar political cleverness for laying emphasis and over-emphasis on anti-Semitism, saying: “You can’t expect the masses to understand or appreciate your finer real aims. You must feed the masses with cruder morsels and ideas like anti-Semitism. It would be politically all wrong to tell them the truth about where you really are leading them.”
lmao
It’s been a worthless trash rag for longer than any of us have been alive.
