Memo to Clark Hoyt and the editors of the New York Times.

You do have the opportunity to break a real story that no blogger can actually do, because you had your reporters who were in Shifa Hospital. They were in a position to ask questions at Shifa Hospital about who was on the payroll, what Mads Gilbert was doing, and why he seemed to have more time to mug for cameras than he did for providing actual medical care, and provide a case history for the victim that appeared on the bogus video tape.

They chose not to, or weren’t able to because doing so might get the Hamas minders upset. That too would have been a story worth reporting - that your reporters were unable to get the real story precisely because Hamas was controlling the situation at the hospital. Instead, we got silence.

It would be nice if you follow up on that particular aspect given that it is agitprop theater that anyone who took CPR could recognize (I certainly did), and those with medical training could see all the problems with the “treatment” that would be considered medical malpractice just about anywhere else in the world.

Instead, we get misappropriation of credit for debunking stories from last year. Classy.

It helps explain why the NYT company’s entire net worth is based not on the business operations of the company but on the shiny HQ real estate in Midtown. Your reporting adds no value, and one could make a reasonable argument that the Times’ reporting actually harms the value of its real estate holdings.
