1/ Do facts matter?

The NYT is standing by factual errors on episodes of its podcast, The Daily, with @mikiebarb and @MarkLandler. Why misinform listeners?
* No, intifada violence was not aimed only at "Israeli soldiers and military targets."
2/
* No, the US didn't view Israel's capture of West Bank in '67 as "unlawful."
* No, the embassy in Jerusalem doesn't "foreclose" possibility of Palestinian capital in that city.
* No, Netanyahu isn't responsible for building the security barrier. (And no, it's not a "wall.")
3/ The omissions, too, are egregious. Like completely ignoring Palestinian rejection of a state in '47, '00, and '08… in a conversation about Palestinian statelessness. The reporters instead suggest Palestinians were open to living alongside Israel ever since the 40s.
4/ Like blaming only Netanyahu for, and failing to note any Palestinian role in, the decrease in Israeli support for two-state solution.
Like the omission of any Israeli voice in two segments about Israel's elections. Instead, there are synchronized Palestinian/@nytimes voices:
5/ Palestinian anti-Israel activist: "More and more of what we considered to be Palestine was just going to be eaten away by these kind of settlers."
NYT's Landler: "The Israelis began to occupy more and more of the land that would form the basis for a Palestinian state."
6/ Back to those errors, though. The newspaper bolsters its reputation with promises and assurances about the correction of errors big and small, like this from @Rogene: nytimes.com/2018/06/07/rea…
Do they mean it? @MarkLandler? @mikiebarb?
