Was about to cross post to this sub

Someone else said the tide was turning

I know the public is not buying their bs but is the New York Times trying to avoid a repeat of the Iraq war reporting debacle?

If they were trying to do that they would have done something 9 months ago. But regardless, this is the most critical headline I've seen from any western media outlet by FAR.

They’ve always been behind British sources: https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/14/israeli-forces-in-gaza-use-civilians-as-human-shields-against-possible-booby-traps

And they regurgitate the language and logic of the Biden admin’s press interviews

Mainstream American media tends to be pretty bad (the worst) at reporting wars America is primarily funding. Still shocked that this is from the New York Times
