After It Lied About Israel, New York Times’ Verification Badge Removed By X
Daily Wire ^ | October 20, 2023 | Hank Berrien

In the wake of The New York Times’ false reporting , claiming the Israel Defense Forces bombed a hospital in Gaza, a report which was later totally debunked, X, formerly known as Twitter, removed the Times’ verification badge.

The Times ran an article on October 17 that trumpeted, “Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say.” The New York Times and CNN were also caught using images from different incidents that showed buildings that had been completely destroyed.

Footage from ground level showed that none of the buildings were destroyed and that there were no impact craters from an aerial bomb.

Three days after the murderous Hamas attack, the Times, which has a history of anti-Israel reporting, changed a story, initially calling the murderers of Hamas “terrorists,” then changing that to “gunmen.”

In a story titled, “Hamas Leaves Trail of Terror in Israel,” the Times initially wrote, “As Israeli soldiers regain control of areas near Gaza that came under attack, they are finding evidence seen in videos and photos and confirmed by witness accounts of the massacre of civilians by Hamas terrorists.” Later, the Times changed the word “terrorists” to “gunmen.”

In the mid-twentieth century, the Times buried the Holocaust so it didn’t make the front pages, as described in “Buried by the Times: The Holocaust and America’s Most Important Newspaper.” In April 2019, the paper published a cartoon depicting former President Trump as a blind man wearing a skullcap while being led by Netanyahu, who was depicted as a dog on a leash with a Star of David collar.

Well technically it is accurate, that was what the Palestinians said.

Sure, but then there's the placement and the added (fake) graphics.

Musk drives me crazy sometimes, but this is a happy exception. Bravo, Elon!

I wonder if he’ll let them “earn” it back...

If he had time to dig around, he’d find numerous articles that would keep them discredited for all time.

Love it. Elon recognizes polysyllabic trash. Let’s see how the left likes being hit with their disinformation warfare weapons.
Now, do MSNBC and the Washington Post, Elon

"..X, formerly known as Twitter, removed the Times’ verification badge.."

Do these jackasses get paid by the word or some such?
I think anybody remotely paying attention knows the whole "X, formerly known as Twitter" thing by now. Geezes.. 🤬

“Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say”
Well technically it is accurate, that was what the Palestinians said.

Except it a complete mangling of the English language into "Yoda-speak" to make sure the reader sees the first words "Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds.."

A properly constructed headline would be "Palestinians Claim Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital".

...but that's not the propaganda the Times is going for.

And now, unfortunately, another homemade sewer-pipe missile from Hamas-yo-Mamas has malfunctioned, and gone slightly off-course, and landed on the NY Times building, causing it to be reconfigured and strikingly compressed.   At this time, it is uncertain how many stinking NYT liars have gone to meet their maker after this amateur projectile mishap.
