That time is finally here!
For the past year and a half, I have been researching the role the New York Times plays in (mis)representing the Palestine-Israel conflict.
Instead of looking at long periods of time to discern the rate of media bias in the Times, I chose to look at Israel’s 3-week bombardment of the Gaza Strip in the winter of 2008-2009.
The Operation, codenamed “Cast Lead,” resulted in the deaths of nearly 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis.
The Times, however, relayed a different story. What I found is shocking!–and I want to share it with you!
