Estelle PlatiniThe CEO of #Meta, Mark #Zuckerberg, has personally and repeatedly thwarted initiatives to improve the wellbeing of teenagers on #Facebook and #Instagram, sometimes directly bypassing some of his most senior lieutenants, according to internal communications made public as part of an ongoing lawsuit against the company:

"Meta’s content moderation policies and systems have increasingly silenced voices in support of Palestine on Instagram and Facebook in the wake of the hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups."

"It appears that the New York Times manipulated a working-class Mizrahi family in the service of Israeli hasbara in order to score a journalistic achievement, which in reality is nothing more than a repetition of fake news and government propaganda."

Family of key case in New York Times October 7 sexual violence report renounces story, says reporters manipulated them
A New York Times story claiming a pattern of gender-based violence on October 7 hinged on the story of Gal Abdush. But the Abdush family says there is no proof she was raped, and that Times reporters interviewed them under false pretenses.
"New doubts are emerging about the New York Times’s coverage of sexual violence in the October 7 attack. The paper must explain why it broke its own rules by hiring a clearly biased writer who endorsed racist and violent rhetoric toward Palestinians."

Extraordinary charges of bias emerge against NYTimes reporter Anat Schwartz
New doubts are emerging about the New York Times’s coverage of sexual violence in the October 7 attack. The paper must explain why it broke its own rules by hiring a clearly biased writer who endorsed racist and violent rhetoric toward Palestinians.
Ben Norton wrote: 'Instead of investigating how it published a fake story on supposed Hamas "mass rapes", the NY Times is investigating... employees who leaked info about how its editors hired a racist Israeli propagandist to write the fake story to justify Israel's genocide.'
A union leader said the leak probe has singled out employees ‘for their national origin, ethnicity and race’: https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/03/01/nytimes-leak-investigation-guild-intercept-hamas/

Ben Smith writes about journalism and NYT:
"The Times turned over crucial elements of its reporting on one of the most difficult and sensitive stories it has ever published to amateurs, one of whose social media posts would make reasonable people question her ability to be fair.
"That sounds insane when you say it out loud. Why would you do that?"
"Institutions of all sorts are struggling to win trust in this kaleidoscopic, networked world. If you can’t do the painstaking work of presenting an incontestable truth with absolute confidence, the alternative is humility and an openness to multiple points of view."

'It takes a critical eye to understand how reporting can be used to frame events, especially in the Middle East. As most pieces of journalism don’t receive as much scrutiny as “Screams Without Words,” it is our hope that the detailed analysis here offers the reader some tools they can apply to any media they consume.'

Between 2023, October 7 and November 24, the New York Times had described Israeli deaths as a “massacre” on 53 occasions and those of Palestinians just once.
In November 2023, the journalists were distributed directives to avoid the terms “genocide”, “ethnic cleansing”, “occupied territory”. The memo instructs reporters not to use the word Palestine “except in very rare cases” and to steer clear of the term “refugee camps” to describe areas of Gaza historically settled by displaced Palestinians expelled from other parts of Palestine during previous Israeli–Arab wars. The areas are recognized by the United Nations as refugee camps and house hundreds of thousands of registered refugees.

"Buried in the messages between National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other cabinet members is a horrible demonstration of narrative engineering.
"While the legacy media fixates on ‘classified information’, the real story is actually not the incompetence of these people but instead how they casually discussed spinning the bombing of Yemen—an already battered and famine-ravaged nation—into a palatable story for the American and global public. Let’s have a look":
