> It's a fairly pro-business paper, certainly not very critical of Israel

Sorry, are we both talking about the New York Times in 2024 here? Not a day goes by that there isn’t an article crying about Palestinians and bashing Israel - there’s one right now, just scroll down to the section just above sports.

Calling it the preeminent progressive institution in America media today is axiomatic.

Is it crying about Palestinians or just reporting the news? Can you tell the difference?

I'm sorry, when did the NYT call Isreal's behavior genocidal? I must have missed it.

Any objective observer would call Israel's behavior abhorrent wrt Gaza. In fact, it seems like the majority of the planet is doing that, if the UN is representative.

Is supporting Hamas a progressive position? Hard for me to keep track these days.

Since ~2017, Mitt Romney and anyone further left than him is 'Progressive'.

The NYT is most definitely pro-Israel - so much that after October 7, it made up[1] a story of mass rape[2] to justify the attacks on Gaza. Just because it's not as pro-Israel as you doesn't mean it's not pro-Israel.

This comment will be deleted by moderators, though, just like every other comment which points this out. Yet no moderator has ever mentioned why they are doing that. It's factual and relevant to the discussion.
