Children's content creator Rachel Griffin-Accurso, known as "Ms. Rachel," announced on Instagram that she is unsubscribing from The New York Times, citing its biased and dehumanizing coverage of Palestinians and Palestine.

In her post, she said the newspaper was failing to uphold journalistic integrity, in its reporting on the ‘Israeli’ assault on Gaza. Ms. Rachel referenced a leaked internal memo from The New York Times dated back to 2024, which instructed journalists on language usage for Gaza coverage.

The memo, first revealed by The Intercept in April 2024, advised reporters to avoid terms like "genocide," "ethnic cleansing," and "occupied territory" to maintain neutrality and accuracy.

Correction: Unexploded AMERICAN munitions. (Probably)

Awesome that we've had 40+ years of warmongering presidents, leading to these atrocities.

Why is Israeli in quotes everywhere? To call into question whether the current government actually represents the people?

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

Apparently it's to call into question the legitimacy of Israel as a recognised country.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

In contrary, to question whether the people recognize the government.
