It's not just new York times. All our national news sources did the same. And since it happened here they should know better. Needless to say, it has been a huge eye opener... And guess what, they even asked: "is this terrorism?"

I read an article yesterday, may have been from CBS News or something??? It took FOURTEEN PARAGRAPHS before ANYTHING at all was mentioned about the "death to arab" chants and burning of Palestinian flags. Before and after that paragraph it was all talking about jews being chased down in the streets, it's horrifying that people would do this, in ashamed of our country, it was a pogrom....then just casually dropping the real reason it happened. I couldn't believe they even included that info at all

This kind of behavior is harmful to the legitimacy of journalism itself and entirely self defeating at pushing an agenda.

When journalism is mistrusted, misinformation is boosted. When people find out information is misrepresented, they will seek out other sources and be less likely to believe information even when it is legitimate.

We all lost today and the significance of this loss has not dawned on the news agencies. I really hope they don't come crying again about how journalism is dying because people don't care for buying newspapers anymore.

I really hope at some point we go back to the apolitical, strict facts representation and unbiased coverage of events. That's what journalism is supposed to be. Not this tailored version of events reporting that we often get.
