While the Times spills a ton of ink on its unrelenting pro-israeli advocacy journalism, it is the stories they don't cover that keeps me at my keyboard. You know, the Palestinian stories. Make no mistake, this is a well-crafted paper which spares no effort to applaud itself. Through our commitment, vision and unwavering editorial standards, The New York Times has remained among the small corps of leaders. We create a daily record of national and global news, rich with perspective and driven by the highest journalistic standards.
Lets start with the audacious claim about covering the world.
For a paper that is considered a local rag in the city that hosts the United Nations, the Times has seen fit to dismiss virtually all General Assembly resolutions condemning the vicious thirty-three year Israeli military occupation of Palestinian and Syrian land. The staff and management of the times have derided these resolutions as nothing but a seasonal third world ritual by malcontent third world countries kowtowing to the sheiks of Araby. Well, that is just the arrogant New York contempt for everything outside Manhattan. Hell, they think Rhode Island is part of the third world. So, if you are Canadian, don't take it personally.
