A new academic study of New York Times coverage of the war in Israel launched by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, published by a professor at Yale University has concluded that the newspaper is guilty of pro-Hamas bias. The post Yale Study: New York Times Coverage of War in Israel Has Been Pro-Hamas appeared first on Breitbart.
A study by Yale professor Edieal J. Pinker analyzed 1,561 New York Times articles on the Israel-Hamas conflict from October 7, 2023, to June 7, 2024. It found a pro-Hamas bias, with "Israel" mentioned over three times as often as "Hamas." The coverage emphasized Hamas's attack and Israel's military response but underreported ongoing Hamas violence and Israeli casualties. Pinker argues this creates sympathy for the Palestinian side and misrepresents agency, dismissing claims of political freedom as the reason for Israel's frequent mention.
