The New York Times Keeps Failing to Vet Its Middle Eastern Hires
It’s comical, really. The New York Times keeps being gobsmacked by revelations about the people – that is, those who are Arabs – whom it hires to report on Israel and the Palestinians. Though very rich and very powerful, the Grey Lady, the “newspaper of record,” seldom bothers to perform due diligence before it employs these reporters […]

New York Times: We Should Criminalize Speech Like Germany

Whatever Happened to Linda Sarsour? New York Times Says Russian Trolls Got Her.
New in PJ Media: What ever happened to Linda Sarsour? In a lengthy and weepy Sunday feature, the New York Times lamented the downfall of its golden girl: “In 2015, when she was 35, a New York Times profile anointed her — a ‘Brooklyn Homegirl in a Hijab’ — as something rare, a potential Arab American candidate for elected office.” But […]
New York Times publishes weeper about how ‘Russian trolls’ supposedly targeted poor Linda Sarsour
The New York Times has published a lot of ridiculous articles in its day, but this is one of the most ridiculous ever.

Yet another Muslim journalist working for the New York Times praises Hitler
What if Honest Reporting hadn’t revealed anything about Soliman Hijjy? Would he still be working for the Times? Sure.
