Is anyone else considering canceling their New York Times subscription over extreme bias in covering the Mid East?

Op here. Well if anyone has looked today, I believe this is the first time the NYT included this many personal images of what it’s like up close in Gaza. And it is horrific. It looks like the images of people from camps in WW2.

I have noticed for awhile that NYT photos have been strangely lacking. This is the NYT, they have access to some of the most compelling news imagery in the world, and yet many of their articles on Gaza show shots from a distance.

He is excusing away mass murder and starvation of a civilian population. His opinion is disgusting, vile, dehumanizing trash and shouldn't be printed in a national newspaper.


His opinion is fundamentally a lie in every way. Israel is conquering Gaza and slaughtering or removing all who live within. He thinks it's justified, so he lies about it. I don't agree that Israel should be conquering Gaza, but I'd respect the Opinion Section for sharing that view. I do not support the Opinion Editors' decision to let that trash grace the NYT's pages, though.

If you support truth, you cannot support the NYT, sadly.


An opinion is not a lie and cannot be. Facts are facts; assignment of meaning to those facts is where opinion comes in. Opining that Israel's response to Palestinian terror has been too harsh, or has been insufficiently harsh to prevent future recurrences, are opinions, not facts.

Conflating opinion with fact is where apologists for one side or the other go off the rails.


Palestinians terror? I guess you have no problem with the world blaming all jews for Israel’s genocide and other crimes against humanity?


Palestinian terror has a long history. That's a fact. Whether you think it a justified reaction to perceived grievances or not is opinion. See the difference?

Israeli terror has an even longer history. And if we are counting dead bodies and those jailed or taken hostage, Israeli is by far the aggressor by multiples.

I get the NYT for free. Otherwise I'd cancel it. The managing editor is an idiot. The stories are written at a 6th grade level. It used to be a great newspaper. Now, it's junk. I subscribe to the Guardian. At least it's written by adults.

Oh, and I cancelled WaPo when Bezos refused to endorse Harris. It's now a Fox-like newspaper. Not worth clicking on. So sorry for the reporters and editors, who were good. But that newspaper is propaganda trash too. Bezos killed it.

p.s. I got rid of Amazon Prime too. Good riddance. We made Bezos rich, and we can stop giving him our money. I realized I was paying $185 a year for "free" shipping. Ha. I'm not supporting a billionaire who supports a dictator. I shop at Costco and online retailers who have not caved to the Project 2025 crap.

I haven't yet but strongly considered starting with this and now with Gaza.

The problem is, I can't find what I want to replace it. I have read the NYT for SO long. But may be we all need to do it.

Guardian
Le Monde if you read French

What's new? We should expect this to be the daily headline. And now they'll probably do something similar to the West Bank now that they've approved its annexation

It’s horrifying to see images of little kids like what was seen during famines in Africa.

The elementary school age kids who got killed by IDF while waiting in line for drinking water were clearly terrorists.

These people are ghouls. They know these children are innocent and needlessly suffering and dying, but they don’t care. They are genocide apologists. The flip way they talk about them is sickening.

American Jews are causing this tragedy.

the US would not be giving so much support to Israel/Zionism without American Jews driving the financing.

will not find this info from WAPO or nyt

Under the guise of charitable donations, tens of millions of dollars are regularly sent to Israel in the form of "tax-deductible gifts for Jewish settlement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem," the New York Times reported. Much of the money, falsely promoted as donations for educational and religious purposes, often finds its way to funding and purchasing housing for illegal settlers, "as well as guard dogs, bulletproof vests, rifle scopes and vehicles to secure (illegal Jewish) outposts deep in occupied (Palestinian) areas."

Quite often, US money ends up in the Israeli government's coffers under deceptive pretenses. For example, the latest Stimulus Package includes $50 million to fund the Nita M. Lowey Middle East Partnership for Peace Funds, supposedly to provide investments in "people-to-people exchanges and economic cooperation ... between Israelis and Palestinians with the goal of supporting a negotiated and sustainable two-state solution."

Actually, such money serves no particular purpose, since Washington and Tel Aviv endeavor to ensure the demise of a negotiated peace agreement and work hand-in-hand to kill the now defunct two-state solution.

I don’t care who you are, nobody deserves to be starved to death. That is torture. Actual Hamas terrorists need to be tried and jailed, or killed without pain in a very targeted attack based on lots of credible evidence.
