The New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times’s coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza showed a consistent bias against Palestinians, according to an Intercept analysis of major media coverage.

The print media outlets, which play an influential role in shaping U.S. views of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, paid little attention to the unprecedented impact of Israel’s siege and bombing campaign on both children and journalists in the Gaza Strip.

Major U.S. newspapers disproportionately emphasized Israeli deaths in the conflict; used emotive language to describe the killings of Israelis, but not Palestinians; and offered lopsided coverage of antisemitic acts in the U.S., while largely ignoring anti-Muslim racism in the wake of October 7. Pro-Palestinian activists have accused major publications of pro-Israel bias, with the New York Times seeing protests Opens in a new tabat its headquarters in Manhattan for its coverage of Gaza –– an accusation supported by our analysis.

    Crazy statement isn’t it. Goes to show how much brainwashing the media has done that you find it strange.

    Only 35 deaths on Oct 7 were children. And we have zero evidence of Hamas killing any of them. Much evidence of israel killing them by shelling the Kibbutzes though. And not to forget lying about it afterwards that Hamas did it.

    We have plenty of evidence of Hamas gunmen sparing children too. https://youtu.be/mc5iG3DX7ho

      Ah yes, electronicintifada.net, well known for fact-based unbiased reporting. I think your tinfoil hat may be on a bit too tight, but again, you do you.

        I’m sorry they’re not making up rape fictions about Hamas. You’re going to have to do with an article that actually has verifiable sources and evidence inside of it.

            Thanks. It’s the least we can do. Palestinians are being Genocided while our “reputable media” manufactures consent with articles like this

          Well shit this article says some of the freedom fighters were actually raped by the festival goers, so I take that back.
