CAMERA: Even the Times' response to accusations of bias is biased
CAMERA correctly points out that the New York Times' response to accusations of bias is itself biased against Israel and its supporters.In a sampling of complaints he has received, Brisbane ignores the substantive issues that Times editors have failed to correct. Take, for instance, Ethan Bronner's report that Israelis viewed Netanyahu's trip to the United States as a failure, whereas polling data showed the opposite. Or Mahmoud Abbas' falsehoods about his personal history and events in 1948. Or consider David Kirkpatrick's attribution of Egypt's blockade of Gaza to Israel.But then the Times has a history of this sort of thing, don't they?
Furthermore, Brisbane is mute about the Times' sustained downplaying of Palestinian genocidal incitement against Israelis and Jews.

The Times is simply applying the Rules and Guidelines for Westerners reporting on the Middle East as exposed here:
