NYTimes lost any and all credibility when they hired a literal Israeli Military Intelligence propagandist to write the their headline shock inducing piece on 40 beheaded babies, infants in ovens, and mass rape.

These have all been widely been debunked, including by Israeli media. But NYT never retracted their propaganda piece. This gave a free hand for the IDF, with U.S backing, to commit mass murder on an industrial scale in Gaza.

How are they even relevant anymore, and why do people pay to consume literal foreign propaganda? The purpose of the news media is to inform, but these guys are doing the complete opposite.

To continue on this

Israeli Jewish citizens criticize the war

People abroad criticize the war

But outside the country, many Jewish people abroad defend it and have this wildly incendiary defense mechanism against the people abroad, as if every critique from anyone is part of a thinly veiled movement to disrupt their right to existence

Why cant the rest of us be assumed to be at parity with Israeli citizen’s critique?

so unproductive

Why would you link to one of the most extreme mentally unwell twitter accounts immediately after a sentence on criticizing people willingness to consume propaganda?
Your unfounded ad hominem attacks aside, everything posted both there and on The Intercept are provably true. Interesting that you conveniently ignore the main issue here, which is the lack of integrity.
Hmm, that account they posted is full of memes portraying China and communism in a good light, I wonder what their motivation could possibly be
It's always been a very bad newspaper internationally, we could mention the Irak war cover or the constant attacks of EU countries.
Or covering for Stalin and denying the famine in ukraine.
They really did that? I'm a bit surprised, for me the NYT is the definition of the atlantist newspaper, up to the absurd.
