Been seeing a lot of libs say they can't trust the NYT and mainstream news any more but I'm sure there's plenty of reasons to not trust them already. Recent or historical examples

    NYT did a big story about how Hamas allegedly weaponized sexual assault during operation Al-Aqsa Flood, but the person who did the story was not a journalist and every person she talked to in Israel gave her zero evidence and the main source they ended up quoting was an IOF propaganda mill that has a long history of just making shit up. It failed the most simple fact checking imaginable, stuff like "Hamas killed a pregnant woman" and then checking Israel's list of civilian deaths and not finding a single pregnant person.

    As a cherry on top, many of the crimes that were attributed to Hamas in that piece and related journalism were actually crimes that were well documented - when the IOF committed them in Lebanon.
