The Intercept article goes even deeper than the discussion. Definitely worth reading.
“Screams Without Words,” the New York Times story about sexual violence by Jeffrey Gettleman, Adam Sella, and Anat Schwartz comes under fire.

Not to sound conspiratorial, but I think it's safe to say this goes well beyond being a mouthpiece for the US and it's allies, or just cheerleading the MIC. All signs point to the NYT being compromised from the top down by, at best, staunch Zionists, and, at worst, literal Israeli government hasbara agents.
There are questions surrounding the creation of this article that can't be explained by anything other than direct collusion with the Israeli government. This stunk from the beginning to end, and nothing was done within the usual journalistic standards of any of the newspapers of record. There's no way I can interpret this as anything other than an attempt to launder Israeli hasbara through the NYT.
The rumors about the uproar from within the NYT started happening immediately after the article came out. This isn't just some case of a shoddy article slipping through, internally journalists and editors at the NYT were horrified at the journalistic malpractice that was happening in front of them before the article even came out. They raised concerns and it was forced through anyway. Someone from the top had to have willed this article into existance. Just wild, wild stuff.
