There was a mainstream media race to the bottom recently, and The New York Times was the ringleader. The consequences were immediate, terrible, and may be felt for years to come.
Announcing the horrifying news of an explosion at a hospital in Gaza, the Times made a series of deliberate and unconscionable choices that contorted the story, and in a way that may have contributed to lost lives. Their headline "Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say" is abominable journalistic malpractice. Think of the editorial decisions involved here:

Walter Duranty, the apologist for Joseph Stalin.
The Old Gray Lady is running neck and neck in the race to the bottom, alongside the WaPost, where Journalism Goes to Die.

Thank you for posting. We really need articles like this from time to time to keep track of “the other side” and their thought processes etc.
That being said, I read the entire article. All I read was “blah blah. Blahdy blah. Bl bl blahhhhhh. Blah lahblah b lah.”
Liberals die hard.

The New York Times has been practicing this type of journalistic propaganda for many years but this outright lie about Israel scrapes the bottom. A glaring trend in the supporters of islamic terrorism is the selective habit of including Hamas in the group known as Palestinians and then defining them as separate bodies when it is convenient. On the plains of Africa, you can distinguish the Black Mamba from the general family of cobras but both will inject their poison into your body with the same fatal result.

I would like to hear the Slimes explanation for this paragraph in the article:
''Did I mention that they put the headline over a gruesome photo of a bombed-out building? A building that was somewhere else entirely, not associated with the hospital, and that was just an available and sensational image intended to amp up readers? Why not deepfake a mushroom cloud?''
And then there are those idiots that think anything in the Slimes is the Gospel.

Here comes Matt Robinson, trying desperately to regain some semblance of respectability. Except for the part where he veered of course just to bash FOXNews, it was presentable and a reasoned article.
Very probably his first!

The NYT has sunk to great depths to be called out by Newsweek.

But, hello! the NYT has no credibility. The mainstream media dwells on the bottom. What you talking bout, Matt?

In their rush to take God out of their lives, whether personally or professionally, these people forget or ignore the Ninth Commandment. The commandment tells us “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" and when a person does not live in God's ways, bearing false witness is not on their agenda.

I hear the adherent of a bizarre religion struggling with his ongoing cognitive dissonance.

The author admits at the end he is no better than the common street criminal in NYC (but he attempts to justify his criminality). I am so proud that a liberal in NYC can actually see that the NY Times is possibly as bad as the horrible Fox News. /s

I had to laugh at the author's 'Fox news is propaganda' comment. I didn't realize Newsweek had joined the Marxist clan, MSM, not fit for bird cage liners.

Fox News had absolutely nothing to do with the malfeasance of the NY Times but Matt, needing to maintain his liberal bonafides, just couldn't help himself. What a joke.

Wow, when Newsweak calls you out, you know you're not a credible news source anymore.

The NY Slimes has NEVER had any credibility. All they have are Leftist Readers so that makes it "True"!

The Bank of Credibility did not just send the NYT a letter telling them they were overdrawn.
The Bank closed their account.

All of NYT credibility would comfortably fit into a thimble.

Looks like Matt Robinson found the line he won’t cross and the Times has found their bridge too far. No self awareness of the journey they have taken to get there, though.
