The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post skewed coverage toward Israeli narratives, according to a quantitative analysis.

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.

    No bombing little kids with amputated legs inside a hospital is far worse. Hamas didn’t shoot a single child.

    What israel does is indiscriminate slaughter and Genocide.

    You seem to still be repeating false propaganda from said outlets. The rape was a made up lie that has been debunked already.

    October 7 was not an indiscriminate slaughter whatsoever. 1/3 of the casualties were military and that’s including a huge part of the civilians were killed by the IDF, who killed them to prevent hostages being taken.
