'We Ran With the Word of a Designated Terrorist Group - Our Bad'

The New York Times Should Cancel Itself

Normal people use The New York Times to line the bottom of a bird cage, or to house train a dog.

Left-wing progressives, however, prefer to read it as news.

The problem is that lefties demand certain kinds of stories. So when supply outstrips demand, the editorial team at The New York Times are left with no option but to make stuff up.

And so it was that, on October 17, The New York Times published all the lies not fit to print.

News of an explosion at the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza was plastered across their front page with the headline …

“Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say.”

The headline was above an image that showed a building ripped apart by an explosion.

There were two problems with this story.

First, the explosion at Al-Ahli Hospital was not caused by Israel.

And second, the highly emotive image of the ‘hospital’ that had been blown to smithereens was not in fact the Al-Alhli Hospital where the explosion had occurred.

On The New York Times Website they ran the same headline, but with this image …

The problem is that the emotive image of the distraught woman holding her child was not from the Al-Alhli Hospital either.

So how did The New York Times get it so very wrong?
