Fact-Checking False Claims About Our Iran Coverage

A YouTube video titled "The New York Times Tried Shielding For Iran, Now They're LOSING Their License!" posted by the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS TV) and "The Meira K Show" included inaccuracies about The Times's coverage of the Iran war.



The video's title and opening monologue incorrectly claim that The New York Times is "losing their licence." The New York Times does not have a broadcast licence to lose.



The New York Times story that is the focus of the video was a breaking news article that reported the facts with full context and background, and without a political agenda.



This video is an attempt to discredit our body of fact-based, independent reporting that has documented every facet of this conflict, including the actions of Iran, Israel and the U.S., the reality for civilians caught in the midst of the fighting and the global economic repercussions of the war.
