The New York Times' "Big Lie" about Hamas committing mass rape on October 7 is falling apart. From The Intercept, "New York Times Puts 'Daily' Episode On Ice Amid Internal Firestorm Over Hamas Sexual Violence Article": The New York Times pulled a high-profile episode of its podcast "The Daily" about sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 amid a furious internal debate about the strength of the paper's original reporting on the subject, Times newsroom sources told The Intercept. The episode had been scheduled for January 9 and was based on a prominent article led by Pulitzer Prize-winner Jeffrey Gettleman, claiming that Hamas had systematically used sexual violence as a weapon of war."Don't criticize each other" = don't fact-check our war propaganda in service of Israel. As criticism of Gettleman's story grew both internally and externally, producers at "The Daily" shelved the original script and paused the episode, according to newsroom sources familiar with the process. A new script was drafted, one that offered major caveats, allowed for uncertainty, and asked open-ended questions that were absent from the original article, which presented its findings as definitive evidence of the systematic use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.This was an exact repeat of the WMD lies the Times pushed to get America to go to war for Israel in Iraq. These reporters don't seem to realize the solid articles the Times puts out are just to build up their credibility for the next time they need to push a Big Lie. The critics have highlighted major discrepancies in the accounts presented in the Times, subsequent public comments from the family of a major subject of the article denouncing it, and comments from a key witness seeming to contradict a claim attributed to him in the article.Why don't they just ask Bill Maher for the video?! He said everyone has seen it everywhere and anyone claiming otherwise is an "October 7 denier!" Follow InformationLiberation on Twitter, Facebook, Gab, Minds and Telegram. |
