The New York Times is offended that the states in Ukraine’s neighborhood – Poland, Hungary, the Baltic nations, Romania — are willing to admit Ukrainian refugees, while having rejected Muslim migrants who have tried in the recent past to enter those same countries. Apparently the NYTimes considers this to be “racism.” The Times report is here: “For Ukraine’s […]
New York Times: Europeans Racist for Taking Ukrainian, Not Islamic, Refugees
“For Ukraine’s Refugees, Europe Opens Doors That Were Shut to Others” is the snide New York Times headline. The unsubtle implication is that European countries, especially Eastern European nations, especially countries like Poland, Czechia, and Hungary which were reluctant to accept masses of Islamic migrants, are racist for being willing to accept Ukrainian refugees fleeing […]
New York Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief Wrong Again
Patrick Kingsley is the Jerusalem Bureau Chief of the New York Times, who has a great deal of trouble getting his facts right about Israel and the Palestinians. He has had help from the rest of the resident staff, but that hasn’t rescued him from error. A report on the ineffable Kingsley is here: “How Many […]

Zena Agha, the New Jerusalem Reporter for the New York Times
The New York Times’ Jewish owners, the Sulzbergers, have for decades tried to make sure that no one could accuse them of being partial to Jews, or to Israel, in their coverage. In the 1930s and during the war, the Times deliberately underreported the torment endured by the Jews of Europe. In her study Buried By […]
The New York Times, Israel, and ‘Stolen Palestinian Food’
The New York Times has long exhibited a palpable want of sympathy for the Jewish state. In its thousands of articles on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the past 73 years, it has never yet adduced the relevance of the League of Nations’ Mandate for Palestine, including Article 4, which called on the Mandatory authority to “facilitate […]
Failing New York Times Caught Publishing More Fake News
My latest in PJ Media: When the New York Times audio documentary “Caliphate” won the Peabody Award, Times executive editor Dean Baquet took a victory lap, saying: “‘Caliphate’ was one of the best works of journalism of the year, created by a team of fearless journalists who shed new light on something as complex as ISIS and terrorism.” There […]
Canada: Muslim admits to making up story about being Islamic State executioner that fooled the New York Times
This incident shows how reliable the New York Times really is: not at all. Meanwhile, Chaudhry will no doubt go on to a long and happy life in Canada, with this incident forgotten. It isn’t as if he had pretended to be something really dangerous, such as a “right-wing extremist”; if he had, he would […]
The New York Times ‘Don’t Know Much About [Jewish] History’
So many stories in the New York Times about Israel have been misleading or worse in recent years; it’s become virtually a full-time activity for CAMERA to rebut the mistakes in the Times’ coverage of Israel and demand corrections. I well remember the story in 2013 by then-Jerusalem Bureau Chief Jodi Rudoren, who falsely stated that the United […]
Media Insists Taliban Seizure of Province Capital of 160,000 is ‘Symbolic’
Media bias used to be between the lines, then it became the lines, and finally it became the headlines. When the media feels the need to embed spin in its headlines, that’s pretty bad. Americans, like Chinese, Cubans, and Russians, have long since grown used to media spin for disasters that is blatantly coordinated across […]
