It’s no secret that the United States President Barack Hussein Obama can’t abide Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. It’s also no secret that the New York Times can’t find anything good to write about Netanyahu either. The NYT prefers to publish negative news about Israel,
A leading US media watchdog has compared the New York Times‘ constant publication of misleading and even false reports about Israel to the behavior of an “addict” in need of an “intervention.”…“The Times‘ misreporting on Israel is looking more and more like an addiction,” Ini told The Algemeiner. “An addiction to anti-Israel advocacy that has been preventing professional news journalism — and if there is anyone in the building that cares about the newspaper’s reputation for fairness, it is time for an intervention.” (Algemeiner)
Usually, when I’m looking on the internet for something to write about and check Reuters, I find almost nothing very up to date about Israel, but there’s plenty tonight:
