Research shows terms like 'massacre' and 'slaughter' are only ever used by the New York Times to describe the killing of Israelis, never for the killing of Palestinians. Now the Intercept has found the NYT memo that specifically bars its journalists, and even interviewees, from using these terms in relation to Palestinian deaths, as well as a ban on the use of 'genocide', 'ethnic cleansing', 'occupied territories', 'refugee camps' and 'Palestine'. The term 'terrorism' is restricted to describing Palestinian attacks, according to the memo. Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians and civilian infrastructure, such as hospitals, is excluded. The entire Palestinian narrative – and the region's history – has been erased from the NYT's coverage, exactly as Israel would want it to be. Now we just need to unearth the memos issued by the BBC, Guardian and a host of other outlets that are serving precisely the same purpose of skewing the coverage exclusively in Israel's favour.

@Jonathan_K_Cook Now we need to find the memos of the pro-Palestinian outlets, say Al Jazeera…!
@Jonathan_K_Cook @ArmchairW 😢 A sad choice by the NYT. Please be empathetic toward all human suffering.
@Jonathan_K_Cook Yes, I canceled my @nytimes subscription months ago after I noticed all that. It's so blatantly obvious. Most western media do that.
@Jonathan_K_Cook The AP and every other American news outlet, due to the massive downsizing in reporting and investigative staffs over the last 30 years, all take their lead from the NYT and just copy & paste things from that poisoned well. Which is why Americans have no clue about “the world”.
@Jonathan_K_Cook This is why they killed close to 1 journalist everyday in the last 6 months in Gaza. Traitors! I will never trust corporate media again.
@Jonathan_K_Cook Can we finally lay bare that all of our institutions of power are controlled by zionists? That these people whose allegiance is to Israel run our societies?
@Jonathan_K_Cook @Lunarheritage What can you expect since all the MSM is controlled by the Zionist Entity, spreading propaganda that their Masters dictates.
