The New York Times has much to answer for in its coverage of the Middle East. Its relentlessly anti-Israel coverage, from its reporters on the spot, from its columnists (with the exception of Bret Stephens), from the Op/Ed articles it chooses to publish, and from the editorials it publishes, have earned it pride of place with […]
New York Times Details Horrors of Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban,’ Ignores Victims of Jihad Attacks
My latest in PJ Media: The New York Times story opens with a scene of unmitigated horror: “On May 30, 2019, Mohamed Abdulrahman Ahmed should have been in class preparing for exams. Instead, neighbors found the gifted high school senior hanging lifeless from a beam in his home in the Dadaab refugee camp in northeastern Kenya. […]
New York Times: “The ‘Muslim Ban’ Is Over. The Harm Lives On.”
The New York Times here gives us the predictable sob story about how hard the residents of Dadaab have had it since they have been unable to come to America. One is moved to tears, but rationally, there are people who are having hard times all over the world. In fact, there are even people […]
The New York Times Loves Iran, and Wants You to Love It, Too
My latest in PJ Media: “People see Iran as politically charged and oppressive,” wrote Neeknaz Abari in the New York Times this week, “But there is a lot of beauty and innocence.” This entry in a gushing Times travel piece, “52 Places to Go,” was just the latest, and one of the most egregious, attempts to normalize the […]
Biden excludes Israel from proposed negotiations for new Iran nuclear deal
In an apparent appeal to Biden, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared: “There can be no going back to the previous nuclear agreement.” Apparently indifferent to this appeal, Biden has excluded Israel “from the list of countries he said needed to be included in negotiations with Iran toward a new nuclear agreement.” Two years ago, […]
Macron calls New York Times hack, charges media with ‘legitimizing violence’ in coverage of France’s stance on jihad
Ben Smith is a vicious far-Left ideologue whose writings suggest that believes “Islamophobes” are a far greater threat than Islamic jihadis, and so it’s no surprise that he would have nettled Macron by “legitimizing” the jihad massacres in France rather than defending the freedom of expression. But Macron himself is not consistent. If France is […]
Now We Know Why the New York Times Said the Media Declared the Election Winner
My latest in PJ Media: If anything has come clear in this strange year, it is that the Left is not stupid, it’s evil. And so, when the New York Times tweeted that it was the media’s job to declare the winner of the presidential election, people laughed at the ignorance of the miseducated millennials […]
Meet the New York Times’ New Jerusalem Bureau Chief
He’s only 31, but hey, who’s counting? The news about the latest New York Times expert on the Middle East, by Ira Stoll, is here: “Newly Appointed New York Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief Has History of Mistakes in Israel Coverage,” by Ira Stoll, Algemeiner, October 29, 2020: The New York Times’ next Jerusalem bureau chief […]
New York Times worries about ‘Islamophobia’ in France after beheading of teacher over Muhammad cartoon
Here we go yet again. This is how this narrative, which we see after every jihad massacre, works. When Muslims murder infidels, Muslims are the victims. Any measures taken in the wake of the jihad massacre to prevent Muslims from massacring infidels in the future is a sign of “collective punishment” and “Islamophobia.” Always and […]
Biden is Wrong: US Didn’t Have Good Relationship With Hitler — But the New York Times Did
My latest in PJ Media: Did the United States really have a good relationship with Adolf Hitler before he started World War II? Joe Biden made this bizarre claim during Thursday’s debate with President Trump. Trump said of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un: “North Korea, we’re not in a war. We have a good relationship. […]
