I never credit news from dubious sources and that even includes, in this instance, the Gray Lady. I typically read the Washington Post and Associated Press as I sip my morning coffee. In this affair the NYT has too pronounced a pro-Israel slant and I don't take them seriously there.

I do recommend Al Jazeera. Their avoidance of bias is impressive and they are much more textual than pictorial. But they'tr occasional reading for me, something I should change.
