The article seems to imply Sandberg approved of anti semetic attacks against Soros, conveniently ignoring the fact that Sandberg (& Zuckerberg) is a Jew herself.
I don't know what the editorial team at NYT thinks is happening, but I don't think Sandberg would condone anti semetic attacks against anyone, even rivals.
- mc32 8y agoThe NYT takes sides. They will unfortunately omit things or insinuate things to support their opinion. NPR is much better, even though they lean left -but at least they try with exceptions.
- vtesucks 8y agoI don't mind leaning left or right. I mind lying left and right.
- mc32 8y agoRight. But the NYT is not the old NYT. They are not NPR-quality any more.
- stevenwoo 8y agoThe NYT has been around a long time and at various times has written multiple glowing articles about Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler and other despots of all stripes which does not speak well of ye old NYT. It is difficult to find a disparaging word in any of their coverage of current day neo Nazis in the USA when they have done extensive interviews. One needs to judge each article on its own merits.
- casefields 8y agoThat is such a weak defense. It didn't work for Edward Said and it won't work for them.
- writepub 8y agoIf you really think Soros' Jewish heritage, versus a plethora of political actions, is more fodder for Sandberg, you've thoroughly underestimated her. My statement doesn't constitute a defense, because the NYT has failed to prove that Sanberg explicitly requested an anti-Semitic line of attack be launched again Soros. You'd expect a paper of NYT's stature to not omit the fact that Sandberg & Zuck are Jews themselves, and the likelihood of them conding attacks that paint their own heritage in bad light, is low, if not impossible
- ALittleLight 8y agoThere's a difference between anti-Semitic attacks that are motivated out of antisemitism and attacks that are motivated out of self interest. I don't believe anybody thinks Zuckerberg and Sandberg implied anti-Semitic things about Soros out of their genuine hatred of Jews. Instead, the idea is that they tried to exploit antisemitism to obfuscate legitimate criticism of their company.
- digitalzombie 8y ago> The article seems to imply Sandberg approved of anti semetic attacks against Soros, conveniently ignoring the fact that Sandberg (& Zuckerberg) is a Jew herself. That doesn't mean anything and such terrible logic. There are many cases of Neo Nazi that are Jewish. Just cause they're Jewish doesn't mean they can't hurt other Jewish people.
- vtesucks 8y agoWait I didn't like the defense of your parent but your argument is equally worthless. Just because I'm attacking a Jewish person doesn't make me anti-Semitic.
