The New York Times October 7 Exposé

Why did a Pulitzer-prize winning NYT journalist choose a non-journalist with a military intelligence background -- and her nephew in law -- to do the on-the-ground reporting for an extremely consequential story?

Based on the (lack of) fallout, these orders almost certainly came from the top.

The story in question was submitted to HN Dec 28th last year had 6 points and no comments.

weird this is on the second page but has no comments

In short, NYT is being accused of propagandizing accusations of sexual violence. This is very serious and not OK for a serious newspaper to do. On BlueSky I saw this described it as such:

> Trying to explain the NYT story to a friend and getting tears in my eyes- such a vicious horrific thing to do to weaponize people’s real trauma to carry out a genocide AND ensure that more actual sexual assault victims aren’t listened to in the future.
