(October 22, 2023 / JNS)A review of the X feed of Sara Yasin, managing editor of The Los Angeles Times, reveals that “Her sympathies lie with Hamas,” according to an analysis from the media watchdog Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis. Safian urged readers to seek other news sources “for dependable information on Hamas’s war on Israel,” he told JNS. A correction to the Times article now notes: “An earlier version of this article implied that Israel has controlled the Gaza Strip. Israel has controlled its border with Gaza, but not the territory itself.”Hillary Manning, vice president of communications at the Times, told The Wrap that the paper stands behind Yasin. “Any suggestion that Sara Yasin sympathizes with Hamas is inaccurate, irresponsible and reckless.”Ben Smith, a co-founder of Semafor and former New York Times media columnist, also defended Yasin.
