(JNS.org) A new billboard adjacent to The New York Times office in midtown Manhattan calls out the newspaper for what a media watchdog group says is anti-Israel bias in its reporting. The billboard, an initiative of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), states: “Would a great newspaper slant the news against Israel? The New York Times does.” The billboard accuses the newspaper of “misrepresenting facts,” “omitting key information,” and “skewing headlines and photos.”
Last November, the Times admitted it made “a regrettable choice” by featuring a photo of relatives of Hussein Jawadra, the Palestinian terrorist indicted for killing 19-year-old Israeli soldier Eden Atias, in its coverage of that murder.
