New York Times Targets New York’s Orthodox Jews

New York’s Orthodox Jewish community has less than a few hundred thousand people. It would be strange for a large national publication to publish even one article about this small minority community, but The New York Times has seemingly made it an entire beat for one reporter.

Eliza Shapiro has written over a dozen negative articles about New York’s Hassidic Jewish community in recent months. Shapiro has not written about anything else since February of last year. Many of her articles include questionable claims and outright distortions that portray the community in the worst possible light.
