NYT admits that in order to be permitted to report from Iraq (report what?) they purposefully lied and covered up information detrimental to regime. In short, they had no ethics at all.

It's a 2003 article. Very old news.

If it was true in Iraq 8 years ago it's true in Yesha and Gaza today.

Of course. Impeccable logic.

So Israel decides what can the NYT report in the WB? I mean, Israel could ban them from going there, right? If so, Israel really sucks at propaganda.

Keeping in mind that all the major news agencies don't use their own resources. They use stringers provided by the PLO. Which other way do you imagine that works out?
