     *Adbusters seeks right of reply from /New York Times/

Hey you jammers, dreamers and truth-tellers out there,

In the wake of #OCCUPYWALLSTREET, the corporate media have tried
repeatedly to discredit the movement. We've been called every name in
the book, but the lowest blow has come from the /New York Times/ who
have twice taken a nasty swipe at /Adbusters/. Now, they refuse to print
the truth.

Go to /Mondoweiss/
<http://mondoweiss.net/2011/11/adbusters-seeks-right-of-reply-to-nyts-smear-of-anti-semitism-and-fails-to-get-it.html> 

and check the fight we're having to exercise our right of reply.

And if you feel outraged by the /Times/' refusal to run our full letter
then shout it, tweet it, and give it the rounds. Perhaps Executive
Editor Jill Abramson
<https://myaccount.nytimes.com/membercenter/emailus.html> might be
swayed by a few emails telling her that it would be grossly unfair and
against all journalistic standards for the /New York Times/ to deny
/Adbusters/ adequate right of reply. Be creative … do whatever you can
to put some pressure on them to do the right thing.

It seems the real story here is that /Adbusters/ has upset the
pro-Israel and anti-Palestine bias
<http://www.adbusters.org/magazine/97/new-york-times-bias.html> that has
marred the /New York Times/ over many years in some of its editorials,
columns and especially with the reporting by Isabel Kershner and the
/Times/' Jerusalem bureau chief Ethan Bronner. Ms. Kershner and Mr.
Bronner – who has a son who served in the Israeli army – both have deep
ties to the Israel of today. Their often ahistorical, context-free
reporting is partly to blame for what /Adbusters/ has called "the United
States of Amnesia."

A cultural shift is in order at one of the great newspapers of the world
… and that just might start with them agreeing to print our letter.

for the wild,
