Line 111: − − ===Coverage of the Military=== − Like everything else liberal, supporting [[America]]'s fighting men and women is a burden for the paper. If it is a sensitive matter that would endanger the lives of our troops, they shrug the concerns off and post photos of American troops abusing prisoners in Iraq. In a liberal 'cause for concern', a New York Times repoter was kidnapped in [[Afghanistan]] by the [[Taliban]], December 2008. The Times colluded with all the news organizations to keep it secret, not to endanger the reporter.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,527886,00.html New York Times Reporter Held Hostage by Taliban in Afghanistan Escapes] Fox News, June 20, 2009</ref> {{cquote|The Associated Press and most other Western news outlets respected a request from the Times to not report on the abductions because the publicity could negatively affect hostage rescue efforts and imperil Rohde's life.}}

*The New York Times is known to defend America's enemies, discount terrorist acts or present stories as not to offend Muslim feelings. As with the case of American students who carried out suicide bombings in [[Somalia]]. In the NYT article ''"A Call to Jihad, Answered in America,"'' the issue was a “crisis of belonging,” “They want to belong, but who do they belong to?” Then the author states that these jihadist were “born-agains” or “fundis,” not how the rest of America describes [[Islamic]] fascism.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/12/us/12somalis.html?_r=1&em A Call to Jihad, Answered in America New York Times July 11, 2009]</ref>
