Chris Kromm quoted Ace Cockburn:

And what's the point of making this point in the first place? How does the NYT's coverage of Israel differ from that of media outlets not owned by Jews (e.g., the New York Post, owned by the grandson of a Presbyterian minister)? And how does their editorial stance differ from that of the Bush administration?
