Just today I read a New York Times article detailing the rape and torture of an Israeli hostage. Her horrific account was followed by a quote from a Hamas terrorist who said that Hamas believes the body to be sacred so she must be lying. In what messed up, twisted world does a journalist interview the kidnapper and rapist to get their opinion about whether we should believe the victim? I’m a NYT junkie like any nice educated progressive, but I’ve been absolutely blown away by their glaring bias. I wondered who was funding this. And now it all makes sense, as does the confusion of employing Hamas terrorists at aid agencies and then using their testimony to report on the situation in Gaza. I am reading Times of Israel to supplement this nonsense.
I have noticed a trend among journalists to define themselves as advocates for several years now. There was the case a few years back of a Palestinian woman who graduated from Stanford I think whose Jewish mentor lauded her for her advocacy! I’ve read and heard young journalists define themselves as advocates. They see their role as being the ones to make the world a better place through their work. The comparison to Fox News is quite apt.
