Unfortunately, the New York Times is easily the most important U.S. media outlet covering Palestine. So it’s time for another up-to-date dissection of ongoing Times bias.
An in-depth comparison of The New York Times coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine vs. Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza shows how the Times dutifully launders the news to fit the U.S. government’s agenda.
