It's misleading by being biased in favor of the IDF who are notorious for being fundamentally dishonest at all times including this one.
So congratulations, you got your triumvirate of shoddy journalism right here.
I don't think it works that way, it can be at different places on the scale. The other OP headlines are worse than the NYT one because they directly imply the "pre-emptive" claim is true, as opposed to indirectly implying it by choosing to reference the perspective of the IDF.
It does.
That's irrelevant. Things don't magically go from bad to good just because a worse version of the same thing exists.
Only difference is how sneaky they are about it. The bias they're deliberately trying to spread is the same.
Quality of journalism isn't a binary based on whether it is propagandizing for the correct side.
... But they said that. They were reiterating their point.
But that wasn't a strawman argument like you accused them of...? I don't understand why you think you should be able to harass people but then yourself be free from even polite criticism, even in the replies to a comment thread where someone may genuinely not notice your username (sorry) in a connected thread 8 comments away.
