Oopsie. A #NYTimes reporter accidentally ccâd an email to Intifada revealing how the newspaper killed an investigation that would have exposed the truth about the violence in #Amsterdam: It was Israeli #hooligans who started a violent rampage

The numbers, they say, is why. But they haven't improved.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing story of 'breaking news a breaking New York Times...'
Seriously... (AKA "no joke!")
Why is this breaking news? Wouldn't it be actual "news" worth breaking IF Biden announced he was elevating Kamala?
THIS, that Biden is the Dem candidate.... Is this "all the news that's fit to print?", or something else. A bit antsy, are we, NYT?
#media #bias #NYTimes #journalism #frenzy #truth #horserace #Crisis "If it bleeds, it leads", a lot of people say....
The NYT still commands leadership in the one-topic scrum at the WH Press Briefing.

My family has long read the #NYTimes, starting in 1939 when my father's family arrived as refugees from Hitler. My Grandfather's first purchase was a copy of the NY Times. My father had a subscription, and so did I. We trusted the NY Times.Today's BREAKING NEWS about a Parkinson's specialist visiting the Whitehouse was the last straw. The NY Times professional (?) journalists (?) and editors spun this to imply more BIDEN PROBLEMS!!!!! And missed the details of the Parkinson's bill signed on July 2 (https://www.parkinson.org/about-us/news/national-plan-end-pd-act)
I don't know what's happened - or why - but the disproportionate and misleading emphasis on Biden, while failing to provide the same detailed and frequent reporting on TFG's positions, absurdities and lies tells me the NY Times is no longer a reliable newspaper.
So I broke with 85 years of family tradition, and cancelled my subscription. Which was hard, and leaves me saddened.

The #NYTimes once published an article saying that #Hitler wasnât really that bad. He was just using #antisemitism as a way to attract followers & keep them excited about his #political campaign.
The NYTimes more recently published an article saying that #Trump isnât really that bad. He is just using threats of #violence & #authoritarianism as a way to attract followers & keep them excited about his political campaign.

How the Media Got the Hospital Explosion Wrong
The Palestinian health authorities claimed that Israel was responsible for the death of some 500 civilians. Because the details were extremely murky, it was impossible to tell who had caused the explosion or how many people had died. And yet some of the most reputable names in news media sent push alerts that broadcast Hamasâs claims far and wide.
But both push alerts would have led reasonable readers to conclude that these statements must basically be true. Both talked about âIsraeliâ air strikes. Both uncritically reported that many hundreds had died.
News of the supposed Israeli strike quickly had huge real-world consequences. The king of Jordan canceled a planned meeting with President Joe Biden. Mass protests broke out in cities across the Middle East, some culminating in attacks on foreign embassies. In Germany, two unknown assailants threw Molotov cocktails at a synagogue in Berlin.
A live video transmission from Al Jazeera appeared to show that a projectile rose from inside Gaza before changing course and exploding in the vicinity of the hospital; the Israel Defense Forces have claimed that this was one of several rockets fired from Palestinian territory. Subsequent analysis by the Associated Press has substantially corroborated this. In addition, pictures of the site taken by Reuters showed a small crater that, according to independent analysts using open-source intelligence, is inconsistent with the effect of munitions typically used by Israel. It came to look doubtful that the missile had directly hit the hospital; as a BBC team investigating the blast reported, âImages of the ground after the blast do not show significant damage to surrounding hospital buildings.â
The cause of the tragedy, it appears, is the opposite of what news outlets around the world first reported.
Such a glaring example of major outlets messing up on a very consequential event helps explain why trust in traditional news media has been falling fast. As recently as 2003, eight out of 10 British respondents said that they âtrust BBC journalists to tell the truth.â By 2020, the share of respondents who said that they trust the BBC had fallen to fewer than one in two. Americans have been mistrustful of media for longer, but here, too, the share of respondents who say that they trust mass media to report âthe news fully, accurately, and fairlyâ has fallen to a near-record low.
