The journal Studies in Conflict & Terrorism published a data study on September 10, 2026, alleging New York Times bias against Israel. Edieal Pinker of the Yale School of Management conducted the research.
The study analyzed 1,559 articles published after the October 7, 2023 attack. Pinker concluded the newspaper downplayed Israeli losses and minimized Palestinian violence. The research claims the coverage portrayed Israel as the sole aggressor while depicting Palestinians as passive victims.
The New York Times stated it covers the conflict with more rigor than most U.S. news organizations. Editors maintained they use deliberate language and framing to ensure independent journalism.
