The New York Times is now just laundering straight Israeli intelligence propaganda under the guise of “journalism”. Yesterday they published a piece titled “The secret Hamas files”.
Ronen Bergman, who served in Israeli military intelligence before being hired by the New York Times and has been acting as their main “reporter” on the ongoing Gaza genocide, wrote it based on documents given to him by Israeli intelligence, literally citing whatever anonymous Israeli intelligence agents tell him, and doing straight Mossad propaganda without even a hint of shame.
The other author of the piece is Adam Rasgon, who worked for the Jerusalem Post, a deranged Zionist propaganda rag that claimed killed Palestinian babies were fake dolls and “verified” the 40 beheaded babies hoax. He also worked at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a Zionist Israel lobby propaganda front founded by AIPAC. In October he co-wrote a deranged screed in the New Yorker putting a kill target on every journalist in Gaza by smearing them all as “Hamas propagandists” (see this thread: https://twitter.com/SanaSaeed/status/1719481693826875483).
Just look at the byline: “Ronen Bergman, reporting from Tel Aviv, and Adam Rasgon, reporting from Jerusalem.” Both served in the Israeli military, with again Bergman serving in military intelligence. Both are deeply committed Zionists, having spent their entire lives devoted to explicitly doing propaganda for Israel. And both are being presented by the New York Times as just neutral objective reporters literally laundering an Israeli propaganda operation as they themselves admit openly in the piece. Why wouldn’t they? They know nothing will happen to them. This is par for the course. This is why they were hired. It’s their job to launder explicit Israeli propaganda operations.
This is considered “journalism” by the New York Times. And everyone in the media class thinks this is perfectly normal, and just gave Bergman a Pulitzer.
