With the recent NYT scandal, what are some other examples of the NYT or similarly "prestigious" news institutions making stuff up or otherwise doing propaganda? (hexbear.net)

Been seeing a lot of libs say they can't trust the NYT and mainstream news any more but I'm sure there's plenty of reasons to not trust them already. Recent or historical examples

They brought in a woman who used to work for Israeli intelligence with absolutely zero journalism experience to write an expose on how Hamas SA'd and beheaded everyone they could.

We were this close, holds up fingers really close together, to a reality where the Israeli Occupation Forces had to go out and behead corpses to turn these false claims into a reality...

... instead we get a slightly less bad reality where there's an official corpse cum catching crew that we can joke about.
