[Bias alert - #NYT usually favors Israel]
Opinion - Guest Essay Ben Rhodes
During the Biden presidency, it was short-handed the “hug Bibi” strategy — the idea that smothering Mr. Netanyahu with unconditional support would give the U.S. leverage to influence his actions. Over the final 15 months of the Biden presidency, this approach led the White House to provide a flood of weapons for Israel’s bombardment of Palestinians, veto United Nations Security Council resolutions calling for a cease-fire, attack the International Criminal Court for pursuing charges against Mr. Netanyahu, ignore its own policies about supporting military units credibly accused of war crimes and blame Hamas for not accepting cease-fire terms that the Israeli government was also rejecting.
NYT writing an article about blowing it on Gaza is so ironic. But anything to wash their hands clean after the fact. Wouldn’t want to admit it was all on purpose and they knew this would happen. Just a small oopsie.
The NYTimes and all corporate/billionaire-backed outlets must be starved and dismantled. These media outlets are certain that they can get away with anything just by pushing out a few “retraction” articles. NYTimes and other outlets will do it again. They made money off defending Israeli warcrimes and they will make money off criticizing others who did the same. Then they will make money off covering the carnage in Gaza.
This was their plan all along. They did the same during the Nazi Holocaust. This is why media outlets sane-washed Trump. The mainstream media is a tool of the corporations to crush us common folk.
