  1. I think it’s fair to say the NYT would not have someone reporting on the conflict if their son or daughter was part of Hamas, even if only acting in a non-military capacity doing social service work or whatever. But I doubt they’d see the analogy. It’s not likely that they’d replace Bronner anyway and he’s not going to tell his son to get out of the IDF, so complaining about this probably just gives the NYT an excuse to get up on their high horse and claim that it’s outrageous that anyone would think he could possibly be biased by such a thing.

    I think it’s better just to focus on Bronner’s clear bias in the stories he’s written–something you’ve done a very good job pointing out yourself. (In fact, maybe people could link to some of your posts and send that to Hoyt.)
    In theory he could have a child in the IDF and still do a scrupulously fair job reporting on the conflict. In practice, he’s done nothing of the sort.

    1. If Bronner’s reporting were good, then this wouldn’t be such a big issue. But his reporting as you note has been sorely lacking & so critics leap on this as yet more proof of his added potential for bias.

    2. In theory he could have a child in the IDF and still do a scrupulously fair job reporting on the conflict. In practice, he’s done nothing of the sort.

      In theory he could have a child who was the most rabid anti-Zionist activist on earth and still be a shill for Israel. In reality he has never done a remotely fair job of reporting on the conflict, and his son’s activities have nothing to do with it.
