[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thoughts?. I lean left and like to read different sources, but I do find myself mostly reading the NYT, Wapo, WSJ and listening to CNN and BBC. I recently told dh that I listen to AJ too and he immediately dismissed it. But I don’t find it to be overly biased at all, certainly not ‘terrorist’.

Thoughts? [/quote]

So NYT, WSJ and CNN are totally and completely pro Israeli. Their reporting consists of picking up the talking points from Israeli media specialists and publishing it.

Only the Wall Street editorial board. They've had good reporting on the conflict by general reporters. I get stories on Apple News, so they may funnel it, but I'm very concerned about what's happening in Palestine. [/quote]

No there is a clear bias. Many stories that show Israel or the US actions are not covered. Like the " negotiations" for a ceasefire in Gaza. After the assassination of a hamas negotiators the only two parties in the room were the US and Israel. This was framed as a serious negotiates but nothing was happening. The Israelis said no to the US and Hamas was not there  
This is the type of coverage generated by NYT and WSJ. Once an article appears in those papers it is picked up and carried in other papers. 
Look at the story about the bombing Beirut the other day. It was a medical facility with no connection to Hezbollah but that fact was left out of coverage.[/quote]
