Alison Weir, founder and executive director of If Americans Knew, spent 2 years researching The New York Times’ coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She “found that in 2004, at a time when 8 Israeli children and 176 Palestinian children were killed – a ratio of 1 to 22 – Times headlines and lead paragraphs reported on Israeli children’s deaths at a rate almost seven times greater than Palestinian children’s deaths.”

Now that is what I call bias!
