There’s value in forcing entities like the NYT to show their bias like this, even if it’s expected behavior for them. A critical mass of incidents like this destroys their legitimacy over time which decreases their ability to dictate public opinion.
- Been watching the NYT make unforced errors for 30 years or longer

Only outrageous if you don't know what the NYT is there for.

They should submit an ad with a QR code linking to a website they control, with some innocuous content -- then AFTER the ad goes live, switch the site to their intended message.

it’s not outrageous. the megacorp that owns nyt is raking in profit from the genocide. why would they endanger those profits which are likely orders of magnitude larger than whatever this Quaker group is offering?
- So your reasoning for it not being outrageous is that it's...more outrageous?

Wouldn't be the new york times if we got to tell the truth about Israel's genocide.
